Hello and Happy Sunday!


On the Home Front:  Rained nearly every day, so it was mostly a week of blog work. Writing reviews and drafting posts. Lots and lots of posts. Grocery pick up on Thursday. And then yesterday we went to GalaxyCon in Raleigh. Holy shit! It was huge! I had no idea. So.Many.Cosplayers! This kind of event you kinda just need to sit and people watch for a few hours. Total amazeballs. It was tiring, but fun. I had wanted to see James Marsters but his line was insane, so nope. Trip wanted a photo with Zach Aguilar, but for some reason he wasn't there. Sadness. Anna did get her Funko Box signed by Cristina Vee and we spent too much money on merch, but oh, well. lol


Touching Nature: Humid, but not quite as hot and very rainy this week. I think we got about 5" of rain total. Maybe a bit less. I need to mow, but it'll have to wait until it dries out a bit.

Book News: Wrote 5 reviews (out of 7) and was feeling super accomplished. Drafted a shitton of posts. Picked up some books by new-to-me authors at GalaxyCon. Some signed by the author, the others signed by the illustrator. *Photo above or below.

Don't Touch That Dial!: Been watching some Bones and Burn Notice. But mostly trying to read in the evenings.

At the Flicks: Nope

Cyberspace Playground: Wordle, Word Lots, Crossword Jam, Solitaire, jigsaw puzzles

Randomness:  It's just me, getting far away from everyone's shit.


Carol's Nuggets of Wisdom: Every day is just another day to get through.

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

  1. I'm glad you had fun at GalaxyCon. The lines for some are insane at events I have attended. I've been trying to mow my lawn but the grass is so high the mower battery dies fast. I'm about 7/8 finished now after 2 days. I hope this week goes well for you!

    1. I read there were 50,000 attendees. Not sure if that was across all 4 days or just Saturday. Probably total? Brought in something like $8 million to the city so they've got a contract until 2031.

      I ended up mowing Sunday because of the forecast for rain on Monday. It took me so long that I ran out of gas halfway through. High grass and it was wet, wet, wet. Ugh.

      I hope your week is slower than last.
