--- AVR News Update ---
Hello and Happy Sunday!
Congratulations! 2016 is 42% uploaded!

On the Home Front: I did stuff. Beats me what it was, but it got done. And last Sunday the grandbabies were over for a visit. Cutie Kyleigh and Uncle Trip had much fun and BB Boone is getting to be a chunky monkey at 13 lbs. And boy does he love to babble and coo. So much adorableness cannot be withstood! *thud*

Touching Nature: Rain, hot and humid. So much yay. Not.

Book News: I'm still behind in my challenge and don't expect that to change drastically any time soon, but I'm managing to stay below 20 books behind. So...Go Me! I am currently all caught up with drafts and reviews. Woot!

Don't Touch That Dial!: Nada

At the Flicks: Bupkis

Cyberspace Playground: I do love me some Charlie.

Randomness: Did you know you can change your language on Facebook from English (US) to English (Pirate)?! It's fucking hilarious!! Don't worry though. It only shows up on your page. No one else can see it unless they're looking over your shoulder. Credit goes to Michelle over at Because Reading since I saw her post about it on Facebook. :D

Carol's Nuggets of Wisdom: Part two of last week's driving wisdom: I don't know about anyone else, but I try to hit the farthest spots first when running errands. Because by the time I'm sick of running around (and running out of steam), I like that the last ones are closest to home and, by default, closer to my jammies.

That's it for me. AVR News Update signing off. May all your books enthrall you.

  1. SUCH a cute baby - he looks very happy and placid. You have a great book haul there - The Blessed Man and the Witch looks intriguing. Have a great week both between the covers and outside of them:)

  4. Grandbabies are so precious. And you ca love them and then pat those little diapered booties and send them home to mom and dad. LOL I'm going to check out your review of Moby Dick. As a graphic novel edition, I'm curious.

  10. I got Rite of Rejection earlier this week also. Thanks for posting the Cate Dean one. I read her YA series and enjoyed it but somehow missed this freebie.

  11. Less than 20 books behind! Your doing really good! I'm also trying not to get more than 20 behind, and right now I'm 15 books behind. So, yay us! I think that we deserve a bowl of ice cream. :)

  12. Babies in general are adorable and cute. And then when they get older...not always so much. :) Happy reading!
