8:11 Keeping warm while watching Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Lightning Thief. Love this story! Makes me want to pick up the book and attempt an all-nighter :^)
8:10AM Really Enjoying Since You've Been Gone by Mary J. Payne. This was a net galley pick. Started it around 6:00 last night and read over half of it. I got sleepy around 10:30 and went to bed. I will finish this book today, it has been really good. About a 4 star read right now.
LOL Janelle did ya end up pulling an all nighter with The Lightening Thief? I will be reading that once I finish my current read. My son has been bugging me to get to it. So we can watch the movie together.

9:45AM I am just sitting at work and trying not to think about how cold it is outside. -6° with a windchill of -22°. I don't know if my feet will ever feel warm again. LOL. Trying to read during my down time. I hope to get The Darkest Minds finished this week.

I got sleepy around 10:30 and..."I watched the Lightening Thief last night. LOL. I read the book in 2013. The book and movie are a lot different (in my opinion).
12:12 Janie, I ended up recording it since my husband said that he has not seen the movie. I was like "WHAT?" Lol. So I will attempt the all-nighter Friday or Saturday and watch the movie with hubby Sunday:^) I really need to get the rest of the series. It is a great book!
Andrea, I'm going to take note. I read the book a long while ago (2011?) and it was a while after when I watched the movie. I will pay attention to the differences this time.
1:57PM Just finished my net galley pick (ended up being a 3 star rather than a 4 star) and now gonna read The Lightnng Thief. I am hoping I will like it. We will see. Have plans to go out this evening and do some grocry shopping, I also told hubby I want to go get Prodigy since I still need that one.
Janelle I just started The Lightning thief since I finished my Net Galley pick. My son has been bugging me to get this book read so that we can watch the movie. LOL

8:03AM So The Lightning Thief has been good so far, but still I am not all that far into the book. I do plan to make today a good reading day once I get my chili going in the ninja. LOL
Janell thanks. I think I will like this, I mean so far it has piqued my interest so that is definitely good.

6:30PM Watching The Walking Dead marathon, getting ready for the continuation next month. Gonna head upstairs in a little while to read.
8:50AM More plans for today so not sure I can finish the Lightning thief today. I am at almost pg. 200 though so we will see. Have a great day everyone and stay warm.
Going to take all Christmas down today while listening to my book. I Hunt Killers. Trying to stay warm, it's freezing here. Hope all have a great weekend. *Go Cowboys*!!
7:05PM Got back into my work outs and I feel good about it. Sad the Cowboys lost and so irritated about that call being reversed. UGH Oh well there is always next year! YAY Reading The Iron Knight and really enjoying it.

8:16AM House is quiet and I have to record a video here soon. I only have about 60 pages to go in The Iron Knight. Hands down it was my fave of the series. So very good.
9:13 Met my quota for reading this month so I am taking my time while reading my next book. Because of the upcoming semester, I am keeping all of my reads light. I think this will make reading easier while attending school. I am more likely to finish a book that is short and simple right now than diving into a whole new world. I'm not going to lie, it's hard because at times I am in an "escape to another world" type of mood. Lol.
Janie, just watched your tag on YouTube. I liked "The 9th Girl". Your goal to read more historical books is hard for me too. Finally getting the stone put on our outdoor fireplace. DIY (do it yourself) projects seem to take forever. Glad the weather is heating up a little for the weekend.
3:12PM Got busy today cleaning up my shelves here on GR. Was on my Read shelf and discovered that every book I have added to my TBR shelf also went on my read shelf, now that was irritating. I had no idea it did that. So I went through and first cleaned up my TBR which allowed me to 'batch edit' and it went quickly. I removed all those books that I don't own off of my TBR. Then I went to clean up my read shelf and guess what? It would not let me batch edit that shelf, so yea I had to clean them off one by one. UGH! That was not fun.
Susan I am looking forward to both starting and finishing many series this year. I have listed 13 for sure. I think it would be great to get all of these series completed. Thanks for watching my vlog girl!

Hey Janessa, what kind of food does IHOP serve? Because we don't have one in my hometown, but I know it's a chain.
9:09PM Had fish and broccoli for dinner, YUM. Then I took Aeverie down to the playground since we were almost at 60 today, so that was nice for a change. Got some reading done this evening so yay on that.
Corey, Ihop is best known for their breakfast foods, but they do have dinner foods as well. They serve breakfast all day too. It is a pretty good place to eat.

Listening to my book and congratulating my friend on her new baby girl. Yay! Looking forward to going out for tapas tonight and then to see an amazing guitar player tonight at a winery. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Corey, I hope you like it. Most of Americans loved it.
11:39 AM just got devastating news that my best friend is moving back to her home state so, needless to say I have been crying for the past 2 hours!!
12:35PM Just finished my book and took a rather late shower, but I had to finish and it was so good. Gonna be writing my review soon. I think maybe hubby and I will take a date today, we will see.
Heather sorry to hear about your friend. It can be devastating I have had it happen, but you will get through it.

6:32PM just bathed all the dogs, so that was fun....not. I have started a new book I got from Amazon free for kindle called Rune Gate. And then I also got Chosen, the sequel as well for free with Kindle unlimited that I am trying for 30 days. I really should read books that are here in my library. LOL
Good Morning Goodreads, today is my first day to go out and practice driving, I'm so nervous, almost to the point I'm scared.
Hey Janie, I just finished watching your new Vlog and tag of 7 sins. First, ...let Joe out of the closet, lol. Second, there is a really good movie of Les Misérables Staring Liam Niesam and Geoffrey Rush that I just loved. I could not read that one either. And third....let Joe out of the closet. ;) you blushed on the vlog. Hehe. So glad you do these. Good luck Corey. Stay safe.
Holly, I hope you don't have too much to shovel. Keep the home fires burning.
2:15PM Spending the day reading today and also doing some videos. Got them edited and ready to post throughout the week on Booktube. Enjoying Revival a lot, of course it is King so I really had no doubts that I would like it.
Good luck on your driving Corey! It can be a scary thing. My youngest will be starting as well, hub just got the packet for the parent teaching course.
LOL Susan I do let Joe out, every time I talk about him to others and through my vlogs for Booktube. LOL I am glad you enjoy watching them. I really do enjoy making them.

3:19 PM and I am sitting in my room waiting for my mom to finish making the hamburgers I am starving!
4:35PM And I am enjoying the hell out of Revival. I have missed King's writing! Love this story, I find it fascinating. Tonight the crew here is fending dinner for themselves. Can we say leftovers? I will continue to read.
I'm so torn about buying revival, as much as I love sk and can't resist downloading anew one, I was a little disappointed in mr Mercedes and dr sleep. I did enjoy joy land though. I've been anxious to see what you think of it.
8:32PM Just finished Revival and now ready to write my review. It was SO GOOD! I loved it! It has ben far too long since I have read a King novel.
Judy I loved Revival, but then again I liked Dr. Sleep too. I have not yet read Mr. Mercedes. I have it on my kindle but I feel like I need it in Physical form. If I think about it, I have liked every King book I have ever read except for 2. From a Buick 8 and Black House. Everything else I really enjoyed.

Thanks for the input, glad to hear you liked revival - I'm sure I'll read it soon, the last sk I really loved was 11/22/63.
Judy wrote: "Thanks for the input, glad to hear you liked revival - I'm sure I'll read it soon, the last sk I really loved was 11/22/63."I bought 11/22/63 just a few weeks ago, I hear it's excellent.
It's 13.48 here, and I am about to head off and finish reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children :) It's a library book, and its due back in 2 days, because someone has reserved it. I've just been reading the comments above mine.. I've not read Dr Sleep, nor Revival, or even Mr Mercedes, yet. I own Dr Sleep, but I don't own The Shining, which I also haven't read. Black House took me months to read, but From a Buick 8 was the first SK I read, and I LOVE it even now!
Judy I loved 11//22/63. One of my favorites. I am hosting a reread along on my Booktube channel. It will start in march. Here is the video if you would be interested in the re-read along. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVgTu...
I will be uploading my review on Revival soon, probably tomorrow. I did really enjoy it a lot. I thought it was written so well. And I loved his characters.

9:57AM Sitting here with my Tea and book. About to do a video for my channel. Then I will be reading Both of me a review book from Book Look Bloggers. I like it so far and will finish it quickly.
Lucy I love how all of us like different books. I would think you could read Dr. Sleep without even reading the Shining, it might help in the long run I think since it does not revolve around the Overlook Hotel.
