The Weekend Review - October 24th-26th











The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It's a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.

If you'd like to participate with The Sunday Salon, it is now being hosted by Deb at Readerbuzz.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading is a meme with a new host!  It's now being hosted by Kathryn at Book Date. This is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between! This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!

I'm also linking to Stacking the Shelves which is hosted by Reading Reality.


Hi Everyone! 

I can't believe it's the last week of October already.  As I was putting together my reading schedule, I was shocked that I only had two months left. There are a couple of reading challenges I won't finish, but a few that I will.  I will still join my favorite challenges next year as well as host my usual ones. The one challenge I'm sad about not doing is my TBR challenge. I really, really need to start reading books that are already on my TBR. I guess I'll try again in 2027.

I only finished one book this week and it was a good one - Missing Molly.  I really like this author. I'll be reading more books by her. 

What am I watching?  Too much! Shows I watched this week - Survivor, NCIS, NCIS: NY, Best Medicine, Chicago PD, MED and fire, Fire and Sheriff Country and Boston Blue. Now I'm even watching Hallmark Christmas movies again. They sometimes get a bit addictive for me. 

Not much else is going on around here. Nothing new, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just means nothing bad is happening. 

I hope everyone has a great week!

I'm currently reading...







I finished reading...









These are the books I'm hoping to read by the end of the year. They are all for reviews.  I'll be tossing in some books for some of the reading challenges I'm in too. I'm also hoping to read some holiday books, but I suddenly realized time is short.  We only have two months left to the year. Where did the time go? 






Here is this week's e-book freebie haul.  They were freebies when I got them, I don't know if they still are. Always make sure to check they are still free before buying. The prices change quickly.

  6. This year is flying by. I have been so bad with my reading/ review book pile and I really need work to calm down so I can make some good progress before the end of the year. Best of luck to you too!!

  7. I've gotten most of my goals under control but there are one or two that I'm going to be scrambling to meet! Definitely can't believe we are almost in November. I used to love NCIS but haven't watched in years. Need to start it back up. Have a great week!

    1. NCIS is more of a habit for me these days. Although they have a new one NCIS NY and I'm enjoying that one. You have a great week too!

  12. I have a few challenges that I won't finish this year either, Yvonne. I don't think I'm going to do many next year. I did a monthly challenge this year and I won't be doing that again. I've been watching more TV than I usually do lately, just finished binge watching The Pitt and am now working on Tracker. I hope you have a great week.

  13. I think I’ll complete my challenges but I’m really not prepared for all the other end of year tasks..it’s too soon!
    Thanks for sharing your week, happy reading!

  16. Working on my TBR is always a challenge. I know I ask for and accept too many review books. This year I set a goal of reading what I buy. I don't think I'll quite make it but I'm come really close to finishing my 2026 TBR books. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

  17. I'm looking forward to someday tracking more challenges - they look so fun :) But for now, I'm also ready to watch all the Hallmark Christmas movies over and over! LOL

  18. Yes the days and weeks are speeding by. Sounds like lots of TV for you to be watching. I like TV in evening when I am too tired to read.
