Happy Sunday Funday and welcome to my eleventh weekly update for Summer of Horror 2026 (my third of August), a celebration of all things horror running from June through August and hosted by Tammy @ Books, Bones & Buffy .  I had a pretty busy week this go around, but I did make it through a bit more of my watchlist at least.  Keep reading to see what I've gotten up to since last week. My Summer of Horror This Week: Sunday Funday: August Week 2 Update Music Monday: Cozy Ambient Escape The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): Angel Down by Daniel Kraus What I've Watched This Week : ❋ ❋ ❋ ❋ Gyeongseong Creature (Season 2) - Netflix - I'm glad I finally finished this series (with episodes 3-7 this week).

      On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, currently hosted by Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books , and Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader .  For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Anne's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader.
