Sunday Post/Mailbox Monday 5/5/19: This and That

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog…
Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists….

I am moving in slow motion on this rainy Sunday morning. Another busy week has flown right on by and now with May here, my seasonal allergies are in full swing. I didn’t get too much reading in this week, my eyes have been to tired to focus from staring at the computer at work pretty much all day. Lately, by the time I get home I just cook dinner and put the tv on and settle in with my crochet. I am also slower than usual on blog hopping. Thank you all for always stopping in and commenting even though I don’t always get back to the comments and visits as soon as I would like to.

Onto my bookish updates…

Reading:

I’m still reading Far Side of the Sea by Kate Breslin. My goal is to finish it this week.

Watching:
The Act on Hulu is over and it was intriguing and sad. I also watched the Ted Bundy film on Netflix “Extremely Wicked“. I don’t know. I felt it was very vague and a bit confusing with the timeline as far as what Bundy did. It focused alot on his relationship with his girlfriend Elizabeth Kendall and on how their relationship was affected once things started coming to light and he was arrested. Zac Efron does a great job at portraying the serial killer and I know he said in an interview he didn’t want to glamorize Bundy, so maybe that is why they glossed over much of it. I was left feeling that the movie could have been done differently.  Not that I want to see horrific acts on screen, but I found they just kind of mentioned the murders in hindsight for the most part of it. The ending scene was really good, but aside from that I was a little bored. Have you watched it?

Crochet-wise:
The baby blanket I’ve been working on is finished. This was a sweet project to work on and I like the pinks.

Lastly, we went for margaritas and Mexican last night which was really nice. I like mine frozen with salt on the rim….

That wraps up my weekly updates, what are you up to? Enjoy your week! Otis says hello.
