Task in Tuesday-Week 4 of 2016

For a bit about what this is go check out Michelle at Because Reading or to understand what I am setting this up as check out my first post.   Basically if I have it crossed off, I finished it this past week.  Items in red are a week old and now "past due."  I Spaced a bit under each category before adding new tasks for the week.  Old tasks carry over until completed.  The exception is the fun spot at the bottom.  Those aren't red as there are no expectations for completion.  Just a stronger focus over other fun things.

This was not my week.  I didn't do one iota on my blog.  I did visit a few others and was social on twitter but blog posts or improvements? Nope?  Housework projects? Nope-barely kept up with the basics. I have come down with a nasty, nasty cold that has led to bronchitus.  I feel crappy.  So I have been lazy.  To top it off, crazy weather has my sinuses not knowing how to react so I am stuffy as heck ans since on antibiotics I can't take anything for the sinus issues!  Gah!! So lazy week, not much has changed since the last post.

This month, I want to continue to focus on my "spring cleaning,"  hopefully moving out toward the yard and basement soon.  Also, in reading my focus is shifting to finishing older books I have started but never finished (usually because I have had to return them to the library and never checked them back out.  Well, I want to get them finished this month!

I didn't get too much done this week.  My back is out and I have been fighting a cold that I am now failing at and by the time you might be readign this, I will be curled up in bed with a hot cup of tea.

Top Ten Tuesday FREEBIE-My mid-winter TBR

 

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week was a FREEBIE topic, so I am doing one of my favorite TTT options that was somehow missed.  My top ten winter TBR.  Well, winter is in full swing, and spring is just around the corner but here are 10 books I really want to read soon.  Not that it always happens, as you will see by the bottom part, where I share my previous season top tens that I have STILL yet to read.-My mood is constantly changing it's mind, but nothing leaves the list until it is read-or I have decided I no longer wish to read the book, period.

**I JUST started Happily Ever after this Sunday***

 

REVIEW: Game by Barry Lyga

 

Jasper Dent: Game (2)

by Barry Lyga

Genre(s): Thriller/Mystery, Young Adult, Horror

Pages:  520

Published: April 2013

Publisher: Little Brown Books

Official Blurb: "Billy grinned. “Oh, New York,” he whispered. “We’re gonna have so much fun.”

I Hunt Killers introduced the world to Jazz, the son of history’s most infamous serial killer, Billy Dent.

In an effort to prove murder didn’t run in the family, Jazz teamed with the police in the small town of Lobo’s Nod to solve a deadly case. And now, when a determined New York City detective comes knocking on Jazz’s door asking for help, he can’t say no. The Hat-Dog Killer has the Big Apple–and its police force–running scared. So Jazz and his girlfriend, Connie, hop on a plane to the big city and get swept up in a killer’s murderous game."

Review:  "WELCOME TO THE GAME, JASPER." Hardly what one wants to see about themselves written on a corpse. This book is darker and more twisted than I Hunt Killers by far. A very riveting read.

Stacking the Shelves 97

 

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews, every Weekend. This is to share books I have acquired from various sources. Physical books & ebooks both are welcome. If its something being sent to me by mail, I will not mention it until I actually receive it. 

So here is more Nov/Dec catch-up.  Again it is not quite everything  but between post 96 and this one, you get to see at least 85% of what I got (got some more  'for review' manga,  a few library books that have come/gone already and a few others were shelved already).   

Please note that while this is a lot of books, it is from over the course of 2 months which is really good for me actually!

My next STS will have my January titles :)  Then I will be up to-date.
