This is Stormi from Books, Movies, Reviews. Oh my! I downgraded blogs because I wasn't using the other one as much and didn't need the extra expense. Hope you all will join me here!

Week in Review #85

How was your week? What did you get?The Week in Review is where I combine Stacking the Shelves, The Sunday Post and It's Monday! What are you reading?  If you have never joined in on these meme's you can check them out by clicking on the meme and it will take you to the host blog.

We finally had some nice sunny days it was great! I am sick of storms. We have one that is suppose to happen today. I hope it doesn't as our church was having a picnic after the service and I would hate for everyone to prepare something then it storms. *fingers crossed*

Have a great week and happy reading!

Books I have added

  • The Missing Body - I have enjoyed thrillers from this author before so I am hoping I will enjoy this one.
  • The Confidence Games - I am hoping this one is going to be as fun as it sounded. Couple of con artist friends, hoping it does't turn out to be to feminist as I don't care for those types of books.

Books read last week

  • Secrets in the Dark - The second book in the Blackbird Trilogy and I enjoyed it. I liked it more than book one. 
  • The Case of the Velvet Claw - The first Perry Mason book and though he is a bit more morally gray than the tv show I enjoyed it. I just had to remind myself this came out in 1933. I think they made him a bit more family friendly for tv. :)
  • If Something Happens To Me - I like this authors thrillers, they don't bore me or move slowly. I did guess a bit of what was going on and who the  baddy was but it was still good. 
  • Kilt Trip - This was a decent contemporary romance.
  • Run Away - Participating in a readathon and the prompt was for a friend to pick my book and so this was the book chosen. I enjoyed it though at first I wasn't sure if I would and it was confusing at times. My first time reading this author but I think I will be trying more of his thrillers. It also takes a book off my own shelves so that is good. :)

Currently reading

  • While Still We Live - I haven't had a lot of time to read on this one but I did manage a bit so I am on page 65 of 444.
  • Bar - 20 - First in the Hopalong Cassidy series for June on the Range a western readathon. It's a lot different from the tv show. I am going to have to watch the show and refresh my memory as this hopalong is a bit cras and rude...lol.
  • Storm Front - Rereading this with Barb and Amy, a girl subscribed to my channel. :)
  • Scarewave - Spooky stories about a town, its good so far.

What might be up next


Not sure.

    1. It's really interesting reading something based on an old tv show that you have seen. The differences are sometimes cool and sometimes not.

  3. Fingers crossed for more sunny days! We have the humidity going strong but thankfully only occasional storms. I liked the Blackbird trilogy but am not sold on the book that came out this year. It was okay but not as good as I expect from her. I hope you're having a great week!
