{Sunday Post} — Lock Every Door, Lost Empire, and The Thinner

The Caffeinated Book Reviewer's Kimberly hosts a weekly meme called "The Sunday Post"! 


* Weekly Tidbits * 


  • Sewer problems, ice, snow, illness, and family crises characterized this past week.

  • My father is ill; he has an infection in his leg, which might be a blood clot. He's at home on antibiotics and needs to go to the hospital tomorrow for a test.
 
  • The worst of my cough, cold, or whatever ailment you want to name hit me on Wednesday night. The home test indicates that I do not have COVID. To exacerbate matters, I've been having issues with my wisdom teeth.
 
  • It snowed a lot—a lot more than what the so-called weather forecasters were predicting. Several big tree branches fell, but luckily, they didn't damage anything. 

  • On Tuesday, there was a power outage for a few hours. 

  • Tuesday was also the day when the toilets began to misbehave. Not for sure if it's a "city" problem, a frozen vent or pipes, or a partial blockage in the mainline.

The Caffeinated Book Reviewer's Kimberly hosts a weekly meme called "The Sunday Post"! 


* Weekly Tidbits *

  • Reading-wise, I'm not feeling it. 
 
  • Reviews will get posted as soon as I feel like it. Writer's block? To some extent, yes. 
 
  • I've been binge-watching Babylon 5

{Sunday Post} — The Devil's Rope, Mission Critical, and Utopia

The Caffeinated Book Reviewer's Kimberly hosts a weekly meme called "The Sunday Post"! 


* Happy New Year! * 






What Am I Currently Reading?


I had a lot of things going on last week, so reading wasn't a high priority. When I did have time to read, instead of reading the books that needed to be read, I started Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child, which I'm currently on page 369 and should finish today.

{Sunday Post} — The Extinction Agenda, Heart-Shaped Box, and The 6:20 Man

The Caffeinated Book Reviewer's Kimberly hosts a weekly meme called "The Sunday Post"! 


* Merry Christmas * 

 
  • So Christmastime is finally here, and I couldn't be less excited. I'm not exactly "bah humbug. "I just don't have the holiday spirit this year—I cannot explain it. 

  • I'll be having "Christmas" on Sunday, so whatever bookish gifts, if any, will be listed next week. 

  • I watched the Barbie movie on MAX. It sucked—the worst movie I've ever seen. 

  • The KC Chiefs play on Christmas Day. Let's hope they don't screw up.






What Am I Currently Reading?


Friday - Due to my holiday blues, running errands, and dealing with a sewer issue, I haven't had time to read all week. I did place a bookmark inside Losing Spring by V.C. Andrews (ghostwritten by Andrew Neiderman), but I haven't read a single word in it yet. Part of me wants to read Lee Child's Bad Luck and Trouble, a Jack Reacher thriller and the basis for the second season of Reacher, which just began on Amazon Prime; I might search for it on a bookshelf. Other books on my reading agenda are Tom Clancy's Command and Control by Marc Cameron and Making It So by Sir Patrick Stewart.
