Not sure if any of you watched the Game of Thrones series. I did and it was probably my second favorite show of all time. However, that was pretty much ruined by the final episode on Sunday.

This was me before the last episode....

This was me after the last episode....

This would have been a better outcome, in my opinion....

In other news, little Tardar Sauce, aka Grumpy Cat passed away last week. She was only seven years old. Thank you, Grumpy for all the laughs and fun. You will be missed. Rest in peace.

A Reading Life (42) - Read-a-Thon wrap-up and more

So, yesterday ended my Spring into Horror Read-a-Thon. I'm happy to say that I was able to complete two books! I read...

Goodreads

Read my review

I also participated in Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon on Saturday (for about 10-11 hours). I actually managed to stay up all night, but only read half of The Troop. My wrap-up post is here.

What I'm reading now...

Finishing up The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte by Syrie James

Continuing with Roots and Akhenaten by Naguib Mahfouz

Coming up next...Children of Darkness by Jonathan Janz, The Great Mortality by John Kelly

What I've been watching...

Mom and I took my boys to see The Jungle Book on Saturday. They are 13 and 14 years old and I was so thrilled that they wanted to see it. They loved it. The Jungle Book is Gabe's (my older son) favorite since he was little. I'm hoping I can get him to read the book this summer. Mom and I loved the movie too. It was visually stunning, exciting, scary in parts...just an all around great film. I highly recommend it. 

Two of my favorites characters...

Raksha voiced by Lupita Nyong'o

Bagheera voiced by Ben Kingsley

Game of Thrones! I was SO excited for the new season. A lot of revelations in this first episode. Don't ask me what, or who, this is...I'm not telling (If you saw it, you'll know). I don't do spoilers. lol

Honestly, I love the Game of Thrones show so much, and the A Song of Ice and Fire series, that I'm seriously thinking about starting book 3, A Storm of Swords, just because I know I'll have to read it slowly (due to other reading obligations) and so will prolong my Game of Thrones euphoria after the season ends. I think I might be addicted. ;-)

I've been watching Doctor Foster: A Woman Scorned on Lifetime. It's a three part "mini-series" that originally aired in the UK and it is EXCELLENT (like most British offerings, I've found). I'm finishing Part 3 tonight (as I type, actually) and can't wait to see how it ends. Her husband is such an ass.

Recent book acquisitions...
