Weekly Wrap-Up (22/6/14)


The Sunday Post hosted @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer
It's Monday! hosted @ Book Journey

THIS WEEK ON MY BLOG:

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
Top Ten Books on my Summer TBR
Discussion: It's Not Only Reviews that Sell Books
Waiting on Wednesday: Black Widow: Finely Woven Thread
Review: Captain America
FFF: Fave Books This Year
Review: Z for Zachariah

As you can see, I have decided to add my It's Monday! posts to my weekly-wrap-up posts. It's one less post for me to make and they fit nicely in the one together, so why not.

I also posted my first discussion post this week, not sure if it is more of an observation/rant than it is a discussion but oh well, it's something different on my blog.

THIS WEEK IN REAL LIFE:

A couple of great TV season finales this week - The 100 finale had me ugly sobbing my way through it almost from the start and the Game of Thrones finale, well, lets just say GIVE ME THE NEXT SEASON RIGHT THIS MINUTE!

I started re-watching Heroes - its first season was so, so good and even though the last 2 were a little disappointing, I am still really stoked about Heroes Reborn coming next year, especially as Jack Coleman has signed on to reprise his role as Noah Bennett aka HRG. I hope that Zachary Quinto signs on too because Sylar is one of my most favourite villains ever.

Aside from reading and TV watching, I have nothing of interest to talk about, sorry!

In my case, it's boring.

NEXT WEEK ON MY BLOG:

Review: Appaloosa Summer
Top Ten Tuesday
Graphic Novel Mini Reviews: Saga & Black Science

    1. If you started watching GoT now at one episode a week, you'll be all set for season five ;-)

      Thanks for stopping by Fiza.

  2. You are pretty efficient at getting books and then reading them. Mine usually spend quite a bit of time on TBR mountain before I read them. Come see what I got at Inside of a Dog and Ms. Martin Teaches Media. Happy reading!

    1. I am efficient for now, but lets just see how long that lasts ;-)

      Have a great week Kathy.

  3. I am so excited for the new Heroes show. I adored the series even the bad 2nd and 3rd seasons. I also heard that the Cartoon Network is rebooting the Powerpuff Girls!

  4. I'm kinda looking forward to the Heroes return too, liked that show. I've been merging Sunday/ Monday posts too and it's worked for me, big time saver. :) Have a nice week.

    Nice captain America review, by the way. I've been on a comics binge lately and it's nice to see some good comic reviews...

    1. I absolutely adored the first season of Heroes, so I am hoping that the reboot will be as good.

      Yeah, you're right, merging the posts does save time. Leaving more time for review writing.

      Thanks Greg. I have totally fallen in love with comics and I wish I had enough money for more.

      Happy reading and have a great week.

  5. I'm a little nervous about the return of Heroes. I loved the first season but didn't like the next two at all. GoT is hotly debated around here and there was open mourning when it was discovered that it wasn't coming back until 2015! Looks like you've got some good reading going and have gotten some interesting books. I'm dying to hear more about Amity. Have a great week!

    1. I think I am too excited to be nervous and yeah, ten episodes a year of GoT is not nearly enough.

      Amity is currently 'download now' on Edelweiss, if you wanted to read it now.

      Have a fab week Katherine :-)

  7. I have a fond memory of "What Maisie knew" by Henry James :) I do agree, the first season of Heroes was absolutely terrific but afterwards, I had trouble keeping up with all the different storylines and dimensions. Zachary Quinto is excellent, I love him as Spock too. Have a great week !

    1. Glad to hear you like What Maisie Knew, that helps me to look forward to it.
      Yep Zachary Quinto is excellent indeed.

      You have yourself a great week.
