Happy Sunday Funday and welcome to my second weekly update for Summer of Horror 2026 , a celebration of all things horror running from June through August and hosted by Tammy @ Books, Bones & Buffy .  I made a bit of progress on my tbr and watchlist!  Keep reading to see what I've gotten up to since last week. My Summer of Horror This Week: Summer of Horror 2026 - Sunday Funday: June Week 1 Update Music Monday: Brandon Fiechter's Music, Pt. 3 The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): The Dead of Summer ( The Dead of Summer #1) by Ryan La Sala What I've Watched This Week : ❋ ❋  ❋  ❋.5 Frailty - I went into Frailty pretty much blind. I was not expecting that ending at all, but it was excellent. I wish Bill Paxton was still around and making movies.  The twists in this were very unexpected and very well done.  Anyway, if you like Seven , Sinister , Stir of Echoes , and even Supernatural , you might want to give this a try. My review is also on Letterbox...

      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.
