Monday Morning Madness - The Apocalypse is Upon Us!

This post will serve as my "It's Monday! What Are You Reading?" (hosted by The Book Date).

Good Morning, Everyone!

I hope everyone is doing well this morning!

It seems everyone is a little worked up over the current epidemic, which is being overhyped by the media. Don't get me wrong, everyone should be sanitizing their hands and staying clear of anyone who's sick with anything, especially the elderly. Wear a face mask, if need be. However, there's no need to stockpile toilet paper! Good grief! COVID-19 attacks your respiratory system and not your gastrointestinal system. Have some common sense, people!

Sunday Post - The Derseden Files, Jack Reacher, and More Trek

Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer!

Good Evening, Everyone!



What Am I Currently Reading?


I hope everyone is doing well tonight!

Like for most people, this past week was a little chaotic because of the pandemic.

Yes, I'm still reading The Chill by Scott Carson and one of these days I'm going to finish reading it. I believe I'm on either chapter five or six. With hardly anything else going on in my life this week, I should have plenty of time to read it.

I will read the newest Goosebumps book by R.L. Stine. I'll probably read it early tomorrow morning. It's pretty short, so it shouldn't take too long.

Review - Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI



It should be no surprise to anyone to learn that I love horror movies (and books). Since today's Friday the 13th, I'm featuring a review for Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI by Simon Hawke, which is based on the screenplay by Tom McClouglin for the sixth Friday the 13th film. The movie was released in 1986 and it marked the return of the horror villain icon Jason Voorhees, who was absent from the previous entry. (Spoiler Alert: Jason was replaced with a copycat killer!)

Review - Trendhim Black Interceptor Watch


*This is a sponsored review. All opinions are 100% mine.

My fascination with watches began during my childhood (way back in the late '80s) after I started watching 007 films. James Bond always had the coolest watches, so naturally I have owned many similar watches — some elegant and others that looked futuristic.

For the last few weeks, I've been wearing the "Black Interceptor Watch" from Trendhim, an online jewelry and accessory store for men.

Black Interceptor Watch


Retailing at $49, the quartz watch is made from metal alloy. It features rotating dials for the seconds, minutes, and hours. The time is indicated by a red stationary hand. The dials are painted in black and the numbers are white. The case and strap are black and gunmetal gray. The case itself measures 40mm diameter and 12mm depth.

The Black Interceptor Watch can be purchased at www.trendhim.com/black-interceptor-watch-p.html.

Trendhim


Located in Belgium, Trendhim was founded in 2007 by two eighteen-year-olds, Sebastian and Mikkel. By 2009, they had quit their regular jobs and focused all their attention solely on building their business. Later, a third partner, Martin, joined the team. As of 2019, the company has 13 unique brands with over 1,600 products, such as watches, jewelry, bags, cufflinks, belts, sunglasses, and wallets.

Learn more about Trendhim at www.trendhim.com.

Final Thoughts


The "Black Interceptor" is a great looking watching. The dials have a unique look that resembles both a speedometer and a compass. Add in the metal strap, it has a futuristic vibe to it. The watch is very quite. You have to put the case up to your ear to hear it ticking.

The only major downside to this watch is that the strap is a little bit short. I have a large-size wrist, so I have to use the bottom hole of the strap. While I can go up one notch, it's a little too tight for my liking. Besides this issue, the watch is perfect.

Despite the fact the watch was sent from overseas, it arrived fairly quickly in a decent size box.

Overall, I loved the Black Interceptor Watch. It's an excellent watch that'll appeal to men. Make sure to check to visit Trendhim as they carry many other watches, as well as suit accessories, jewelry, wallets, and many other things.
