 Christmas is over and the New Year is almost here! Happy "Whatever Day It Is" Lol I hope you have time off with your loved ones and are able to relax and enjoy yourself. Happily, I've met my deadlines for 2019 on all new projects and am working away to meet the 2020 deadlines now. These new projects have made the holidays more stressed, but we still managed to visit friends, attend a cookie making party and have a great Christmas.  The snows came early...  But it did make it feel more festive.  I so love we only have a few days a year of this. It makes the snow magical and special, not a chore.  It also makes it a great time to drink tea and consuming large amounts of freshly baked cookies by the fire, lol  (I was diffusing Christmas Wreath, its AMAZING) and working away.  I confess to wearing shorts and long socks lol. #Winter  A dear friend sent me tea from the UK. He spent a ridiculous amount of money on the shipping, but it was very appreciated on these cold days.  Warm tea and Vegan snacks - make the work day so much better, lol  These past few days have been all about Holiday planning for 2020. So many places I want to visit and so MANY projects happening. Catch you later~

 Hi, friends! Winter is in full swing over here in our part of the world, so naturally, I have two things on my mind: reading and staying warm! Nothing like a warm fire and a good book! Fortunately I have a pile of TBR and a cozy place to read. #WIN  This book was recommended to me and was so good!   Great Book! Hounded by Kevin Hearne
 I read this while I was ill (even the SC filter couldn't make me look normal) I have ordered book two and three & can't wait for them to arrive.  Did I mention the old gods pop up in this story?  I also read Garden Spells last month while I was ill. Although, I couldn't get into it at all. I was surfing around Amazon (always dangerous) and it was a "recommended for you based on your other purchases" so I gave it a try. :( Perhaps will try it again later.    I'm not going to review it - other than to say I had to force myself to read it....and feel like it was a waste of time. But I do plan to review at least two books every week till I get caught up. (Perhaps I should review four at a time or we will be at this till next Christmas?) Lol  My Neil Gaiman reading frenzy continues...although Sandman is a collection of other peoples stories.  I'm currently reading.  So enjoying the "Expanse" series, too. I think there are 7 books, with another coming out in later this month?  :D The snow is melting! Making for a clear, but cold day. I'm headed back to my spot by the fire to finish Leviathan Wakes. I actually put off reading this series because I enjoy the television show so much. Usually reading and watching don't mix, you know? But I haven't been disappointed...
What are you reading? Do you have any recommendation? Share your current "can't put it down" books please!  This is the "I'm so tired I could fall over" filter. Slammed at work, but TGIF!
Book reviews, travel adventures and other random fun stuff up soon. Have a great weekend travel family!  Hey! How are you? If the rest of this year passes as fast as Janurary did then I'm in serious trouble!  So what the Hell did I do? I had guests for 2+ weeks and worked. The house was full of people, plus some stayed down the street at a B & B. So there was lots of laughing, eating and visiting going on! It really was an amazing visit!  We watched some movies... I blogged about some movies to watch with your BFF here and also reviewed a random movie a friend recommended to me here. I also managed to do some used book shopping.  I read a bit and owe you several reviews. Hopefully later this week I will get those out. The top book on that pile Hounded by Kevin Hearne was recommended by one of my friends here for the visit. She knew I would like it and she was so right! I'm already reading the second one in the series and buying the rest! We decided to eat healthy for this adventure so I mostly cooked. We wolfed down nice cream and smoothies everyday as well as homemade soups, Buddha Bowls, vegan cookies and lattes. I didn't take many pictures because I was busy eating too, lol!  Buddha Bowl - Red Beans, Sweet Potatoes, Avocado, Yellow Squash, Onions, Peas, Fresh Mushrooms ~ MMMMMMMMM We ate a LOT! I think we went through approx. 40 pounds of bananas in two weeks! It's hard to tell because I had a lot of produce before we began this adventure, lol. Everyone seems to be happy eating plant based vegan and no one went hungry. The downside though, one person caught a cold and before you knew it we all had it. I finished off the month in bed, but at least I had a lot of new books to read.  Call me sneezy- I'm excited to see what February brings.
See you at the airport~  My head is killing me! I can't even stand to read :( So for the last week I’ve had a really nasty bronchitis/flu/possible malaria/bug that just won’t go away. I don’t want to tell you exactly how much TV I’ve been marathoning, but let’s just say it’s a lot. What are your current favorites? I need suggestions as this bug is lingering...
Back to blogging soon~
Hi Travel Family!
Yesterday's post was about a movie we watched and since then people have been emailing me asking where they can find it. Amazon! Of course!
Note: That is an affiliate link, which I make (maybe) a few pennies off. BUT that has nothing to do with my movie review. Read my review here if you missed it. If you enjoy off beat science fiction why not give it a try?
We were too busy today for movies, lol. 
The weather is crisp, but nice (read no snow/ice/rain/blizzards) so I'm doing a few DYI projects, I hope to post about tomorrow.
Speak soon!
 (2017) Kyle Gallner and Azura Skye in Alien Code Hello Travel Family!
How are things? This was not a travel week for me, sadly. :( I had company over and we were looking for a movie to watch... Note: We were not BFFs so the list from the 39 Movies was not going to cut it. He suggested Alien Code. A 2017 low budegt release that neither of us had seen, but had heard good things about. The whole idea of aliens, time travel and how we would fair isn't new, but this movies take on it was novel enough to keep you watching. The flim was actually quite good. The selling poit was the acting. The leads were very talented and way above par for a low budget movie. At time it had that kinda campy feel to it, but the actors made you quickly forget that. If you are looking for a good scifi flim no one has seen, check it out. Speak soon~ |
