Today we went to church and haven't done much else. I have laid in bed drinking tea and watching old movies. I did play with the new app Periscope while making a cup of tea. That is a really cool app! If you do not know about it, you film yourself in real time and people can talk to you through text. I have watched a celebrity do a chat with his fans also. Very neat.
I am still trying to make my way through the book Bloodlite but I find myself scrolling through Instagram, Facebook and Bloglovin' I really need to get on the ball though, I think I am around 6 books behind in my Goodreads yearly challenge. Good grief, I even find myself on Goodreads instead of reading lately. It sounds like I need to unplug and read.
Hope you have had a great Sunday. What are you putting off by reading through my Blog?

Strange readings
Last week Bailey and I cleaned out closets and purged bookshleves for a yard sale. I came across the book The Witches of Worm by Zilpha Keatley Snyder. I remember being both scared and fascinated by the author around the age of 12. I did not remember reading this book by her, so I couldn't let it go into the junk were we getting rid of without a trip down memory lane.
This was DARK, I mean D-A-R-K for a book written for 9 to 13 year olds! This was the story of a neglected, jealous young girl named Jessica who finds a kitten,but not just any kitten. A witches cat. The story that unfolds is moral and depressing.
I did not enjoy this one at all, but the writing was very well done. I found myself wondering more about the author, since this was a memory trip for me.
Now, onto what I started next. Blood Lite by a multitude of famous horror genre authors, I am just 3 stories in so far. I remeber being excited about this when it came out and being shocked at the poor reviews I saw on Booktube. So far, I have to agree though. Not loving it as much as I had hoped. We will see.
