It has been a very busy month for this blogger, hence why I haven't had any new postings for over a month. Well, that is all about to change. I need to get back into the swing of things and what better way to do it than an update Entertainment blog. So let's get started.
Books - I still have 20 books to read by the end of the year. According to Goodreads.com, I am 1 book behind so I need to start reading more books. The last book I tried to read was The Rose Labyrinth by Titania Hardie. I got to page 145 after 4 weeks and decided this was not a book for me. I kept trying to give it the benefit of the doubt but just when the story would get good, the characters would get some screen time, Hardie would rush right back to historical fiction information and lots of description that most of the time I had no idea why she was putting that information in there. It felt as if Hardie was tryiing to put a story in the middle of her research on 15th/16th century England. I kept expecting something else to happen, something that would keep me engaged and Lucy and Alex did to a point but it wasn't enough. That is the 2nd book this year that I have had to stop before finished and before this, I have only never finished 2 other books in my life so that is sayiing something about this book. If anyone has read it and knows what happens at the end, please tell me because that part I do want to know but reading the rest of the book wasn't worth it to me.
Movies - This is sad to admit but I haven't seen a movie in quite a while. My girlfriend and I do have a bet on the Bruins/Canadiens playoff series however. She is a Canadiens fan and I am a Bruins fan so whichever team wins this series, the loser has to pay for dinner and a movie with both the dinner and the movie picked by the winner. So in about a week or 2 I will have seen a new movie and hopefully have a movie review for you.
TV - Season finales are coming up shortly so as they pour in, I will have updates here either in a blog specifically for season finales or as a seperate blog page so keep an eye out for that. I love this season of finales. It means some questions from the past season will be answered. And of course, new ones will emerge and make you think all summer about what is going to happen to your favorite characters and will they be back next season. It is such a fun time because that is when my imagination starts to go crazy. What finale season also means is the start of the summer programs and for me that is great. I have Psych on USA, Eureka and Sanctuary on SyFy. And another great thing about season finale season, is that I can catch up on all of the shows that I need to catch up on like 5 more seasons of NCIS. I am almost through Season 3 just 2 more discs and then I get right into season 4. Can't wait for that.
Well, that about wraps it up for today. Look for another blog coming next week, hopefully with either a TV update or a book update. Au revoir!
