PopCulture Readathon: Spooky TV - Wrap Up & Mini Reviews

Happy Monday everyone!  Today, I'm sharing my wrap up and mini reviews for the Spooky TV round of the  PopCulture Readathon , created and hosted by  Whitney @ bookswhitme  and  Wayward Tomes  which ran from Monday, October 6th through Thursday, October 31st.  I managed to complete 5 of the 9 books on my original tbr so I'd say I did pretty good.  Keep reading to my thoughts on the books I read: Interview with a Vampire - Vampires ❋   ❋  ❋  ❋   ❋ I was not at all expecting  Blood Pact  ( Vicki Nelson  #4) by Tanya Huff  to do what it did, but this is easily my favorite installment of the series so far. I can't wait to see what's next.  The previous installment was my least favorite by far, but I'd say this one is the best of the series so far.  This installment gets very personal, and does it very well. My review is also on  Goodreads  and my Halloween Reads - Wrap Up & Mini Reviews post. American Horror Story - Horror anthology ❋   ❋  ❋  ❋   I didn't quite

SciFi Month 2024 - Music Monday: Space Banjo, Pt. 2

Happy Music Monday everyone!  In honor of  SciFi Month 2024  (Image credit: Artwork by  Sxwx ) , all this November  I'm sharing some sci-fi inspired music.  Rules: Every Monday share a few songs you've been enjoying lately.  It doesn't have to be a specific genre, new, or one of your favorites - just something you'd like to share with others.  If possible, share a music or lyric video of the song and your thoughts on the song(s), artist(s), and/or music video(s). If you would like to participate in Music Monday, please join the link up by sharing your post's url. This week I'm featuring some more recent favorites from Space Banjo  which used to be called TiMBR ZEAL.  I shared some from them last year, which you can check out here .  I don't often to feature my love of banjo/ bluegrass music during this monthlong celebrations and it just makes me happy to be able to do so.  Plus, the artwork with each video is really cool.  Give a listen to Apocalyptic Banjo
