#AmReading + #AmWatching + #AmListening - Media Shares And #Reviews 13-08-20

Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people – people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book.

Welcome to this week's weekly media shares and reviews post!

Feel free to express your own in the comments, but please respect my right - and the rights of other commenters - to have opinions that might differ from yours, and to express those opinions too.
 
Also, please remember that I read/watch/listen to things in a variety of genres, and for all ages, so you should make sure you check that the book/movie/show/song is suitable for the intended audience before reading/watching/listening to it, especially if children are involved. I take no responsibility for anything which may happen as a result of failing to do so.

OK. Let's see what I've been reading, watching, and listening to, and which song I'm going to share this week, shall we? After all, that's the point of this post, and why you're here today, right?

Reading:This week I read one book, and about two thirds of another.  The one I finished was one I had been given in exchange for an honest review (as  you'll see below).  I'll tell you about the one I didn't finish yet in next week's post, when I'll hopefully be telling you I've finished it, as well as sharing my review for it.  For now though, here's the one I did finish, along with my book review.
 
Safeguard (Thor's Dragon Rider, #1)
by Katrina CopeMy rating: five out of five starsI've been looking forward to getting to read this one ever since I learned this spin-off of one of the author's other series would be happening. I was not disappointed; it was worth the wait, and I'm glad to have been able to re-enter this world and spend more time with the characters. This was a fun and exciting start to the new series, and I look forward to following these characters on their latest adventures, and rooting for them in whatever challenges and battles the rest of the series has in store for them.
*NOTE: I was given a free copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review. That fact has in no way influenced either my opinion of the book or the contents of this review.
 *~*~*  Watching:This week I watched more "Outlander" episodes.  I'm now almost done with season three.

Listening:

This week I've been listening to 80s music.  So, here's a random 80s song for your listening pleasure: "Alone" by Heart.
