Monday Morning Madness: Decaf for the Dead and Paperbacks From Hell


 

Good Afternoon, Everyone!


Yes, I'm well aware it's way past noon. Originally, I wanted to have this post published earlier but I got distracted by several other things. Once again, I'm combining this week's Sunday Post (hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer) with today's It's Monday! What Are You Reading (hosted by The Book Date). 


What Am I Currently Reading?


Tomorrow, I'll be reading Decaf for the Dead by Sandy Lo, who nicely sent me a review copy. I posted an interview with Sandy Lo on Saturday, which you can read right here!

Last week, was  a reread week for me with The Shining and Doctor Sleep. I'll probably be writing reviews for them sometime later in the week. I never got around to reading Rise of the Gorgon by Galen Surlak-Ramsey so it'll probably be next read after Decaf for the Dead. Then I'm going to start reading the books I have lined up for this year's Holiday Gift Guide.

Monday Morning Madness: Annabelle & Horror Books


It seems autumn has indeed finally arrived in the midwest as the leaves are falling from the trees and the weather is cooler.

Anyway, just like last week I'm combining my Sunday Post (a weekly meme hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer) and It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (a weekly meme hosted by The Book Date) into one single post.


What Am I Currently Reading?


I didn't get a whole lot of reading finished done last week because I was busy with other things. As I'm writing this, I'm on page 202 of The Institute by Stephen King, which I read quite a bit of this morning. I'm really interest in it so I'm hoping it won't take me more than two days to finish it. I've actually got a reading plan/schedule for this month and it's extremely crammed. My next reads will be Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds and Buckskin by Robert Knott. Then I have 13 horror titles I'll be reading and reviewing later this month.

Monday Morning Madness: The Institute, Stranger Things, and Buckskin


This year has went by extremely fast. I can't believe tomorrow is October 1st. However, if you step outside you wouldn't believe it's already autumn. I'm hoping the weather will eventually cool off!!

Anyway, I believe it's been two weeks since I'd last participated in Caffeinated Reviewer's Sunday Post and it's been many weeks since I last posted a It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (a weekly meme hosted by The Book Date), so I'm combining the two into a "Monday Morning Madness" post.


What Am I Currently Reading?


I placed a bookmark inside The Institute by Stephen King last Friday but I haven't started reading it yet. Hopefully, I can read a few pages of the novel tonight after I watch Lodge 49 on AMC.

Last night, I read a few pages of the eBook The Ghost Hunter's Daughter by Caroline Flarity. It's been on my Kindle for a few months so I thought I should finally get around to reading it. I'm liking it so far. Once I finish it, then I'll be reading Met Her Match by Jude Deveraux, which is also on my Kindle.

Monday Morning Madness: June 3, 2019


There's nothing better to help kickstart a Monday morning than drinking a cup of coffee - or in my case several cups of caffeine heavenly bliss. And I guess the extra energy could explain why I'm writing a Monday Morning Madness post, which is something I haven't done in quite a long time.

Did anyone watch NOS4A2 on AMC last night?

If you weren't already aware, I spent the last few weeks reading NOS4A2 by Joe Hill (read my review here), so I was pretty hyped about the series. Now after watching the first episode, I have mixed feelings about the series. I have nothing against the cast and everyone's acting is fine, but I don't like the changes the scriptwriters and producers have already made with the story. Despite my negative feelings, I'm going to keep watching and see how it turns out.

Of course I had to watch the season premiere of Fear the Walking Dead, which was action-packed and just plain fun to watch! FYI: I loved the fourth season and disliked the majority of the first three seasons.

I've also been watching The Spanish Princess on STARZ. It's somewhat of a spinoff sequel to The White Queen and The White Princess miniseries, which are all based on the works by author Philippa Gregory. Actually, I believe The Spanish Princess is based on two novels, The Constant Princess and The King's Curse. Let's just say this third miniseries has been a big disappointment so far with some of the worst acting ever put to screen! At least there are only 3 episodes left.
