Blogging Break

For those that visit my blog regularly might have noticed my usual three post a week have been missing. At best I think I might have put out one a week. I have to admit that I really haven't felt like blogging much. I haven't really been in much of a mood to read either. The whole family has been since the last week and a half so that has been fun and left all of us pretty run down. I have also been really busy with work so when I get home I just want to chill. The computer hasn't been out all week and my iPad was pretty much used for a few games and checking email. 


With things being crazy busy at work and feeling a bit more stressed than usual I have skipped listening to books at work because I can't afford my attention to be divided and had a lot of great music playing instead. This has caused my nice stock pile of reviews to thin out to nothing. I have one or two reviews to write and one that will post Tuesday because I had to wait till release day to post it. I have enjoyed my little break to be honest with you. I still love doing this blog but I have enjoyed the little break. 

I am slowly getting back into my reading mood. I read a about 50 pages in Mr Mercedes today. This is one I am actually reading instead of listening to so I only get a little time occasionally to read it. 50 pages is a lot for me to read in one sitting. I am really enjoying the book though it has just taken me months to get almost half way.  I've got a few Audio Books that I am waiting on at the library and DC comics has graced me with two Graphic novels for me to read. Look for all of these reviews in the near future. 

Even though I have been on a break I have read some interesting posts on different blogs this week. Of course the big news it seems is the release of The Hunger Games Mockingjay part 1. Two of my favorite blogs have reviewed it and you can check out those posts on:


If you are interested in an update on the remake of Stephen King's The Stand movie check out Talk Stephen King. I also read a tech blog called Engadget and they had a cool way to cook food perfectly. Way out of my price range so I wont be buying it, but check out the Frying pan with bluetooth. 

I'll get back into my reading and reviews soon I think. Thanks for sticking around and I will post again soon.

    I had a blogging break last week myself. I was out of town and busy. Though I did get some reading done. I am excited to finish the book I am reading. I wish I had a job where I could listen to audio books!! Sounds great to me. I do play games a lot on my phone/tablet so I totally get that. Games seem to make things calmer so I really enjoy that!

    I've been so lazy that it has taken me this long to reply to your message. I'm just so busy and work has been crazy that I haven't wanted to read much or write for that matter.

    It is amazing that I can listen to music and books all day. Unless I get a call I have my headphones in all day. I work for an amazing company. I hope to get back to blogging regularly again soon.

Follow Me Friday- Picture Books

Image
Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me. Feel free to follow through bloglovin, email, or GFC. I'm not picky just happy to have the company.   This weeks question is:   What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?  When I was a kid I really liked the Curious George books, but my favorite were the Berenstain Bears books. I loved these, and every time we would go to the book store I had to get a new one. My favorites of this series were:     My Wife and I read The Berenstain Bears' New Baby to my son when his sister was on the way this year. He is 3 a

A-Z Reading Survey

On one of the blogs I follow I saw this and thought it sounded like a lot of fun. I decided to follow the link to the A-Z Meme . I also decided to check out the blog this came from and really liked it. What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't give credit where it is due? This is from The Perpetual Page-Turner , and her blog is pretty cool. So here are her questions and my answers. A uthor you’ve read the most books from: Jeffery Deaver is the author that I have read the most books from. If you checked out my all about me post you would know that his books are the reason I am the avid reader I am. Michael Connelly and Steven King would be a close second. Still have a lot of King to read.   B est Sequel Ever:  What a good question. Currently the only one I can think of is the Lord of the Rings Tow Towers. That is my favorite book of the series. C urrently Reading: Currently I am listening to Storm Fron by Richard Castle, and reading Sons of Moriarty and More St

Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri
