WWW Wednesday

WWW Wednesday is a weekly book meme currently hosted by Sam @Taking on a World of Words. Each week there are three questions that we answer. What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading? What do you plan on reading next?

I am currently reading 

Heart of the Wolf by Terry Spear. It's ok, so far. I mean paranormal fantasy is what I usually like but the writing is an amateur, and I am finding it troubling when the wolf in human form still growls. It is bothering me that Devlyn has no clue what Volan, the Alpha male of the pack of grays, did to Bella, forcing her to run from him and Devlyn. I mean really? It makes it awkward when the audience knows more than the character, Devlyn who is clueless. It's frustrating to the point I want to shout "HE RAPED BELLA!" She doesn't want to marry the rotten sonofabitch Volan but loves Devlyn. Except Devlyn has to compete and fight Volan just to win Bella. Grrr. I am not impressed with neither of them so far.

What I recently finished reading

Written in Red by Anne Bishop. I listened to the book on audio. It was hard to understand what was happening at the beginning with Meg Corbyn and the massive world that was built around Elementals and Sanguinati living in Thasia? It was interesting, and I liked it.

What I plan on reading next. 

It's a tough choice. Iron Gold just came in the mail yesterday, and I want to read it so much but March Take control of your TBR challenge starts tomorrow and I don't know what to do. Should I just read Iron Gold and then The Bear and the Nightingale, The Return, and Tower of Dawn? I mean technically, Iron Gold is now part of my TBR shelf. 

My favourite. . . Movie of 2017

My Favorite.. is a weekly meme hosted by Maureen’s Books. In this meme, we share every week something we love with each other. Because let’s face it... The world can be a dark place and it’s to share something positive.

2017 was the year for Netflix. I don't recall going to an actual movie theatre last year. How sad. The last film I saw in the theatre was Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them and it was terrific.

On Netflix, I watched Breaking Bad, The Vampire Diaries, The Walking Dead, 100 but I'd have to say The Vampire Diaries is my favourite because it is the longest running with 8 seasons. Season 8 was released in 2017.

The Walking Dead is still going, with the War against Negan, and I hope it never ends because I'm in love with it also.  The Walking Dead Season 8 Part 2 will be released on Sunday 25th February 2018! 4 days guys!
  

The spin-off of TVD, The Originals, is another exciting show that I love and love to binge watch. It is a close second with season 5 (Final) set to be released in April of 2018. 

The actual movies I watched that I can remember are Guardians of the Galaxy vol II, Season 7 of Game of Thrones, Star Wars The Last Jedi, Wonder Woman, but they weren't my favourite. Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson, when you've seen it once, you've seen them all IMO. I mean Beauty and the Beast is a timeless story, and the Disney animation cannot be beaten.

March Take Control of Your TBR Pile Challenge!

my 2018-take-control shelf:

Kim @Caffeinatedbookreviewer is our host for the 6th Annual Take Control of your TBR Reading Challenge. For anyone who wants to read those books that have been just sitting on your shelf for god knows how long, this month would be a good time to challenge yourself to read them. I hope everyone has some fun and good luck to winning some prizes as well.

Just a few physical books on my shelf that need to-be-read

This week we are talking about

My Favorite... Website To Shop For Books.

When I want a book that I can't get in Chapters or WalMart, I can usually find it on Amazon. The time it takes to arrive is quicker than The Book Depository but the shipping costs more. I have also purchased books from Barnes and Noble. Other than that, I like using Freebooksy for kindle books :) & Audible for audiobooks

Top Ten Books I Can't Believe I Read

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Books I Can’t Believe I Read

1. 11/22/63 by Stephen King. I hate politics! I don't care about the president of the United States but I was determined to read a Stephen King Novel and I saw this book in the second-hand store for cheap so I thought why not.
2. Opus Dei. An Investigation into the Powerful, Secretive Society within the Catholic Church by Michael Walsh
3. A Course In Miracles Combined Volume: Text, Workbook for Students, Manual for Teachers, 2nd Edition. I feel this book really helped me with an emotional problem and I'm thankful for it.
4. The Giver. I used to clean classrooms and one class was reading The Giver by Lois Lowry. I was curious to see what it was about so I read it.

5. Blessed Sister M. Faustina Kowalska Diary Divine Mercy In My Soul. This is a very heavy spiritual book.
6. The Lamb's Supper The Mass As Heaven On Earth by Scott Hahn. This book helped me to understand what happens during Mass. It is something extraordinary.
7. The Gargoyle Code by Dwight Longenecker is like The Screwtape Letters
8. Fat Dad, Fat Kid One Father and Son's Journey to take power away from the "F-word" Shay Butler Gavin Butler.
9. The Synagogue of Satan by Andrew Carrington Hitchcock. The secret history of Jewish World Domination
10. The Visions of The Children by Janice T. Connell

My Favorite.... Biography

My Favorite.. is a weekly meme hosted by Maureen’s Books. In this meme, we share every week something we love with each other. Because let’s face it... The world can be a dark place and it’s to share something positive.

My favourite. . . Biography is I Am Ozzy.

My Review

I love reading Biographies of famous people and it was a pleasure to read this one because I have always been a big fan of Black Sabbath and fascinated with Ozzy Osbourne. He's an interesting guy. Granted his younger years was fraught with booze parties and drugs and that is how he became so dependent on them. Wasn't everyone in the sixties and seventies? I Am Ozzy is very funny as well. He takes us along on his journey of how he starts off and later becomes the singer of Black Sabbath. By the time Black Sabbath splits and Ozzy becomes a sensation, I wasn't at all interested in him as a solo artist. Together with his wife and manager Sharon Osbourne, he is a sort of legend and I enjoyed very much watching The Osbournes reality TV series. A few of his close friends died tragically but that didn't deter his alcohol addiction, in fact, it probably made it worse. He once pissed on the Alamo but never realized it and gets in trouble.

 

In 2010 Jack Osbourne produced a documentary about Ozzy‘s life titled “Wreckage Of My Past (The Story Of Ozzy Osbourne)“.
