Death on the Nile is .......... WOW!

 Really all I can say about it. My Mom and LB2 were as shell shocked as I was at the end. All I can tell you is that the end will take by surprise. The cast was simply stunning, the scenery and CGI were gorgeous and the dialogue was delectable. If you loved Murder on the Orient Express, you will absolutely adore Death on the Nile. I think Agatha Christi would've approved of it. 

In other news, our Kitchen sink faucet broke, leaving us waiting for the replacement to come in. That's Life for you. There are an abundance of cranky people right now because of it.Meanwhile, I just want to binge on K.M. Shea's new series, Pack of Dawn and Destiny. I hate reading incomplete series because they leave me on edge for days, sometimes weeks. Because of that delightful character trait, I waited for months for Ms. Shea's new series to be complete. Now that it is, I can hardly wait to jump in.

Why are Vintage Glasses so expensive?

 Today I spent several hours looking for a pair of Vintage Safilo Elasta 1067 frames. My Dad broke his (he left them in the bed and laid on them). I saw a set of frames for $86.00! Now, I personally don't need glasses but that was a bit of sticker shock. 

I found sunglasses that seem to be it. I will not even begin to make sense of it. My Dad is excited. I'm trying not to grimace at the price tag.

Marry Me is Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Yes, I am that excited. The moment I finish this post, I am going to watch the film with my mother. We have been waiting for this film for over a year. Each time it was postponed, you could've heard our groans from a mile away. 

We have been listening to every little bit of the sound tract that has been trickling out. I am almost beyond words, that's how ecstatic I am. Totally check Jennifer Lopez and Maluma out to hear their work. They sound incredible together.

This post is early because I will be busy with my family this coming week. I will try to resume normal posting the week after next (does that make sense?). As always, feel free to leave a message below.

When you wait impatiently.... Play an Audio Book!

 My mom has the SD Card I like to call the Series Card. She's had it for days and I don't know when I will get it back. So to pass the time, I'm enjoying all my new audiobooks. I started Bad Luck Bridesmaid by Alison Rose Greenberg. I have so far found it charming. 

LB2 raided my new audiobooks to find his own perfect read or listen. I don't know what to call it. Jody Hedlund's Come Back to Me was one of the adiobooks he swiped. It was absolutely perfect. I totally recommend it to lovers of Outlander for its time travel aspect. LB2 and I were on pin and needles as we listened.

One of the reasons I love Audiobooks so much is the portability they give me. Sometimes my hands are too busy to hold a book but my mind will be so doggone bored. Listening to an audiobook is like a multitasker's best dream. I will tackle all the house work and listen to two characters fall in love if people will simply stop talking to me. I don't want to know what our neighbors are up to, I want Richard Armitage to continue reading to me. Side note: He really does have the nicest voice. Also LB2 hates him.

At last Check....

 I had 22,943 ebooks, some of which are compilations with up to five novels in one. You all are the fourth ones to know. And yes, I have not read them all.  That doesn't mean I don't try to.

Right now, I can't to do any of that. My Kindle Fire 7 doesn't read pdfs. So, I am back to reading off a computer. That means, I can only watch or listen to things on my Fire. I won't complain too much. The Kindle was a gift from my uncle so if it wasn't for him, I'd be up an excrement creek with no paddle, facing killer rapids and a waterfall. Not my kinda place.

Right now, I'm going on an audiobook spree. If I can't read it, I will listen to it. And audiobooks count every bit as much as reading the book itself. 

As always, feel free to leave a message below.

P.S. So, my Kindle updated itself so that I now have access to all my PDFs. I'm sorry Fire that I doubted you and gave you the finger. That was not nice of me.

When tech lets you down..........

 Today, my tablet refuses to turn on. I have been using it to play music and listen to audiobooks since my mp3 player died. It is beyond frustrating. I just want all my tech to work fine. I don't want to deal with hiccups like this.

I am think that as soon as I get the funds, I will be getting a new tablet as well. I don't want to but I don't think I have a choice anymore. Now, to get the money.......

Life without a MP3 Player

 So, the battery on my mp3 player blew up. I can't complain. It gave me two beautiful years of music and Radio. It was an AGPTek, I forget the model. I went with them again because they seemed durable to me. They are very good though my family has had mixed results with them. I look forward to getting a new one the moment I recruit the money. Til then, I am in music limbo.

I put all my music on a sd card and play it off of my tablet bet it's just not the same. I miss the ability to listen to music and read at the same time. I miss washing dishes to my favorite jams. I miss lip-singing in the dark to the radio. I miss listening to an audiobook while doing laundry. I miss my mp3 player.
