Week in Review #118

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.

I am so tired of the storms and rain and being COLD! It's spring, did Mother Nature not get the memo!?

So on Youtube there is a big event called Old School April and I am participating in it. I am on team Scoobies! So you will be seeing lots of old school reads this month (I mean you see a lot anyway, but maybe way more than normal...lol) It's a fun event so go check out Kelsi at Slime and Slashers!

You can also watch old school movies, so I went to the library and so far I have watched The Last Starfighter, Lake Placid and Rocky. :) Having so much fun!

Have a great week and happy reading!

What you might have missed on my blog

Review of Small Favors

Review of The Secret Detective Agency

Books I have added

• The Seaside Murders - I enjoyed The Secret Detective Agency, so was happy to receive the second book from Netgalley and Bookouture. :)

Books I Read

• The Secret Detective Agency - Finally finished up the eARC that I had been reading for a while. I enjoyed it, just a slow eyeball reader...lol.
• Small Favors - Loving my reread of The Dresden Files. 
• Rebecca - I have conflicted feelings about this book, I was really enjoying it up till the last 30% and it took a turn I wasn't expecting. 
• Throwback - Time Traveling kid and it wasn't bad but not exactly what I thought it was going to be.
• Queste - Well, I am sorry to say that even though I finished this book I think I am DNFing the series I just don't care and the books are getting larger and larger and nothing is happening. 
• Welcome to Smellville - A book about the Garbage Pail Kids and it was a bit to dumb for me.

Currently Reading

• Taking the Fifth - The fourth book in the JP Beaumont series and I am just really liking this series. 
• The Dead Beat - I have liked Psycho by this author so I am curious about this one from him.
• Cinderella After Midnight - This is not the cover I have (was to lazy to take a pic), but love my old harlequins! :)

How did your week go? Hope you had a great week!

Two Bloggers, One Series ~ Small Favors by Jim Butcher (Dresden Files #10)

Continuing out read of the Dresden Files. This is a reread for me and I am enjoying reading it again. I think by the time we catch up to the latest one an new one will be coming out first month of next year so that is cool and about time! After you read my review go on over and check out what Barb thought at Booker T's Review.

 Harry Dresden's life finally seems to be calming down -- until a shadow from the past returns. Mab, monarch of the Sidhe Winter Court, calls in an old favor from Harry -- one small favor that will trap him between a nightmarish foe and an equally deadly ally, and that will strain his skills -- and loyalties -- to their very limits.

Thoughts:

Poor Harry can never catch a break. Marcone has gone missing and Mab calls in a favor, one small favor, from Harry that probably test all his strengths and skills.

Mobster kingpin Marcone has been kidnapped by some supernaturals and Mabs wants him found, but it's not that simple. He ends up having to enlist his friends, Murphy, Molly, Thomas and even the Knights of the Cross. You know things are not going to go well! As with any of these books there is always way more at stake then what is stated at the beginning. Someone want the Archive (which is a person) so they must keep her from harm as well! Just loads of humor and action!

I love that this one involves a lot of my favorite characters. There is a lot going on but this far into the series I feel that they get harder to review, but I loved it as always!
