I'll be able to rest eventually, though. I hope."

(((HUGS))) I wish you the best, hon.

Thank you, friend! :)

My first poll of the new year! Participation is greatly appreciated! :)

It's oddly entertaining, isn't it!?!

Sounds fantastic, Bianca!! I'm glad the journal is working for you! :)

Congratulations on a fantastic reading month, and a very Happy Birthday to your Mom!! :)

Wow! Significant changes for both of you! I wish you both the very best!!

Stay safe! (((HUGS)))

Oh, yeah. Smart thinking!

Like, THAT is freaking intuitive!?! **Rolls eyes**

Thanks, Christa!

I don't understand.

Is it me, or can we no longer see the likes or comments under our own reviews while on the book page?

Oh no! It looks like they've changed the book page! I missed the Beta stage. Why is everything so BIG!?!

It's so busy/distracting.

Nice! :)

I hope they are all GoodReads! :D

If you decide to give it a go, I'll join you. :)

I just watched it. It was good!

Good luck to you both on the big cleans!! :)

Why are you trying to make my TBR even longer!?! LOL

I like Sonja Sohn; I'm still trying to warm up to the woman who plays Faith, though.

I'm not showing Season 2 of Reacher yet. I hope to see it soon!

I think the 3rd episode of Will Trent came out on HULU this morning. I'm going to check after work.

I stopped watching anything NCIS around the time Abby left. My heart wasn't in it, and I was upset that I could not watch NCIS: Los Angeles from the beginning. I liked NCIS: New Orleans, but I think they were also going through some character changes. So I haven't seen NCIS Hawaii at all.

If, at some point, all of the seasons are available for all of the shows (without costing a million bucks), I might try to do a mega rewatch of the whole franchise.

I am currently on a TV kick. I read a few pages a day to keep my daily trend going, but I over-committed, and my system is forcing me to take a break.

This weekend (including MLK day yesterday), I watched:

Will Trent [HULU] ~ Only two episodes were available at the time, but they are already fun. You know, if you find kidnapping and murder fun. LOL, I am still warming up to the characters.

Reacher [Amazon Prime ] ~ I binged Season 1. I enjoyed the characters and the moments of levity. The lead actor emotes well (and is not bad on the eyes at all!) The show is based on a series by Lee Child (The first book is Killing Floor); interestingly enough, I put the book on my wishlist on Christmas day and forgot. Ha.
I am looking forward to Season 2.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan ~ [Amazon Prime] ~ I rebinged Season 1. Enjoyed it just as much as the last time. I am currently watching Season 2. I like watching John Krasinski as Jack. I don't know if I want to read the books, though. I am glad Season 3 is already out.

I also tried Alert: Missing Person Unit [HULU]. But 1. Scott Caan is not a good actor! He's basically playing the same character from Hawaii Five-O. He has a wooden style. 2. I do NOT like the twist they're going with (view spoiler)[with his son (hide spoiler)]; it completely rubbed me the wrong way. So, I do not think I will be watching a second episode.
