Jenn's week:  

I did get a lot of audio done this week. I discovered Scribd, which has a ton of audio and ebooks for me to enjoy for free.... well at least for two months. So I loaded up on the audio. 

It was also Dewey's 24 hour readathon.  I had such high hopes. I had a ton of snacks and caffeine and a ton of books to get through. As you usual, I don't get near as much as I would love to read. My hubby was able to stay home from work this weekend and join in. Between him and the dogs... I was a little distracted. I did get 4 books finished. Two audio and two reads.

Ash's week

I got lots of reading done this week. Hopefully, this is going to be a regular thing. 

Dewey's was yesterday, I didn't end up staying up all night. I had so much caffeine I ended up feeling sick and went to bed at about 11 PM. But I barely took breaks, so that's about 13 hours of reading. I finished 5 books. So I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

We did post an hour 1-3 update, and we were going to post more, but my pictures weren't working for some reason. And I really didn't want to take a break from reading just to update this. So sorry for that guys. 

Here's the rest of the pictures that I would have posted in my updates! 

We also took Finny to the park, and then to get ice cream. And I even read there! Well, I tried. Anyway, it was a pretty good day all in all.



For my reading/watching buddy thing.


Can't seem to get into a Madness so Discreet. And we're still watching Van Helsing. This week I'm going to skip the movie since we're doing the readathon. So nothing new there. 

This week I watched...

Lakeview Terrace

Release date: September 19th, 2008

Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Patrick Wilson, Kerry Washington

What it's about:

An LAPD officer will stop at nothing to force out the interracial couple who just moved in next door

 What I thought:

This is my second time watching this. I remember liking it before but I hadn't remembered anything about it. It's a pretty good movie.

 

The Veil

Release date: January 19th, 2016

Starring: Jessica Alba, Lily Rabe, Thomas Jane

What it's about:

Twenty-five years after members of a religious cult committed mass suicide, the lone survivor returns to the scene of the tragedy with a documentary crew in tow.

What I thought:

This one was also really weird. I don't suggest it.
