Today, I'm featuring a few of my favorite pieces from the soundtrack of Send Help (2026) which was composed by Danny Elfman.  I love how much it sounds like his style and even kind of reminded me of Edward Scissorhands and even Spider-Man .  Give a listen to Linda at Home , Building Shelter , Jungle Fight , Saving Yourself : You are invited to the Inlinkz link party! ...

Happy Saturday everyone!  I hope everyone's had a good March so far.  I've now completed 6 tasks for  Book Riot's 2026 Read Harder Challenge .  The tasks I completed in March required me to read a  book recently adapted for film, TV, or musical  and a book  featured on a ‘best book covers’ list.   I selected  Killing Floor  ( Jack Reacher  #1) by Lee Child  and  Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng  by Kylie Lee Baker  respectively.   Read on to see my mini reviews and my plans for next month: ❋   ❋  ❋  ❋ Killing Floor  ( Jack Reacher  #1) by Lee Child  is a book that has been recommended to me for years and I finally decided to give it a try.  I've already seen both the Tom Cruise movies and the first season of tv series on Prime Video.  I ended up liking those quite a bit, especially the tv show so far.  It turns out the show adapted ...

      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.

        Happy Thursday everyone! Welcome back to  Books from the Backlog , the weekly linkup I'm taking part of which is hosted by  Carole's Random Life in Books .  This is a great way to put a spotlight on books that I've had sitting on my shelf for awhile.  I don't know when I'll get to my weekly featured book, but I hope to some time hopefully soon. This Week's Neglected Book: Managing Death ( Death Works Trilogy #2) by Trent Jamieson Published: 2010 Genre: Urban fantasy My Copy: Format: Mass market paperback Pages: 327 Where I Acquired It: Library book sale Summary (From Goodreads): It's not easy being Death. For starters, people keep dying. And then, they keep getting up again. Steven de Selby got promoted. This makes the increasing number of stirrers (and the disturbing rumors of a zombie god rising sometime soon) his problem. That time management seminar he keeps meaning to take would also remind him that he's got a Death Moot ...

Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the book I read in March for  Choose Your Own Adventure: Year In Adelia 2026, The Boardgame , an additional challenge to  G. @ Book Roast 's  Magical Readathon .  You can see my full tbr  here .  Without further ado, check out my mini review below: March -  Off to Adventure! 3B - Enjoy solitude (keep to yourself and your own tent, you want to focus and not be disturbed) -  book from your own priority TBR ❋  ❋  ❋ Gods & Comics  by Kat Cho  is a lot of fun and I enjoyed getting to know the characters very much. That said I think I was just hoping for a little more in terms of mythology since I'm not all that familiar with Korean mythology already.  I was hoping for more with the magic at the heart of the story as well although I did like the power of storytelling aspect of this. I was also hoping for the story to continue for just a bit more after the epilogue sc...
