Week in READ-view is a post I have posted on Sundays telling you what I have been up to this week and what I read or am reading. The Sunday Post is a meme sponsored by the awesome Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news, post a recap of the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
On the Blog, Books & Real Life:
So, I didn’t read anything I was suppose to this week…Why, you ask? well I read 14 monster erotica books in two days. Why, you ask? Because apparently they fascinate me and I am insane, I can’t even explain how odd I think they are but some, I will say, aren’t as bad as you think. Unless you read one about Aliens and the entire act just seems completely impossible…that is when I bailed out and am now going back to my normal reading. I totally blame I’m a Voracious Reader and her Monster Porn Mondays because when I read them, I’m like, “Hey, I haven’t read a Monster Porn in a while…lets do that for the next two days”. If you have never read her reviews, you must, she makes you want to read them, they are hilarious reviews.
This week didn’t go as smoothly as I would have liked. It was just a bit crazier getting everyone off to school and myself off to work. Friday Ryan had an incident in school that landed us in the ER to get him medically cleared to return to school. I blame myself since I can’t remember if I gave him his medicine the night before and/or missed a pill in the am. It’s been crazy and I wasn’t thinking straight. The last time he had an episode like this was before he started the meds last year. I do blame myself, however, that does not excuse his behavior or what he said and did. He was on antibiotics this week so that made his behavior meds not work as well. Not having the meds Thursday night was like not having any at all for a while. Hoping that by Monday they will be back in his system and working like the are suppose to. He was better on Saturday but had to be monitored closely to avoid any issues to let the meds work back into his system.
I got a lot scheduled for the next few weeks regarding older reviews I had never posted because of that blasted slump I was in. I am happy to be ahead a bit but still have a ton of work to do. I am looking forward to doing it which is such a great feeling. I still have ideas I want to do but I might let the year just run out and save them for next year.
I was so bummed, I got invited to see an advanced screening of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children Movie in NY and sit at a round table but I can’t take off of work that day. *cries* I was SOOOO disappointed. I am going to host a giveaway on the blog and promo for the movie closer to release day. I am super excited about that. 🙂

I might have went just a little crazy and I am totally fine with that 🙂
So tell me what have you been reading and up to this week?
Hope you all have a fantastic week!!!
Happy Reading
LOL on the monster porn. I love it. I’m supposed to be reading a bunch this year for a challenge but I’ve totally been failing it. *hangs head* I’m gonna binge over the holidays I think 😀
ROFL you fell into a rabbit hole of monster porn for TWO days?!?
So sorry you can’t take the day of for Miss Peregrine’s… movie, I’m sure that would have been amazing! Still, it’s awesome that you were invited, no?
I hope this week will be great for all of you 🙂 *hugs* Miss your face a lot, Michelle!!
I did not even know there was such a genre!!!
It’s very strange but some aren’t so bad. Weird, but not bad lol
What’s this monster porn you speak of?? I don’t believe I’m familiar with it but I think I will have to acquaint myself with it soon. 😉 Especially if you lost two whole days to it!! LOL I’m sorry you had a rough week otherwise. I know getting back into the school routine is hard. And I hope Ryan is doing better. Here’s to a great week of family, work, and reading! 😀
I didn’t know Monster Porn was even a thing!
Yes, if you ever wondered what it would be like to have sex with Bigfoot, Yeti, Really strange aliens or a tentacle monster. These are the books to read lol
Look at all those holiday books!! Monster porn addict! LOL. So they are dangerous huh? hehe….well I hope you had fun! Sorry Ryan had a rough go and hope this week is better.
Getting ready for Hohoho 🙂 I think I have enough to last me the entire Read-a-thon. I hope I can hold off from reading them until then.
Monster porn can be very addicting, I can’t wrap my head around how someone writes those but some are fantastic.
I hope he has a better week also.
Sounds like you had a fun week reading monster porn. I don’t think I have read any of them yet, but recently saw one about the loch ness monster and I have to admit that did make me curious. They do sound weird, but also fun when you’re in the mood for that kind of read. I’ll have to remember to stop by A Voracious Reader more often to read some of her reviews.
Sorry to hear about Ryan landing the in ER. I hoe things go better and the meds are back in his system soon!
Got to love those amazon freebies. I got The Vampire Mail Order Bride a week or two ago. I hope you’ll have a great week and happy reading!
You want good ones let me know. I have a few I actually really enjoyed 🙂
So far so good, he seems like himself today so I am hoping he will be good this week.
Trying to read books I want to read lately, I know I will get to the xmas ones for the Hohoho Rat but I want to read the halloween ones soon for October.
Those monster porn books are pretty short but goodness 14 in two days…she has corrupted you…hehehe. Hope things go more smoothly with Ryan this week! *hugs* You got some nice books there to read, I hope you enjoy them. 🙂
Stormi ox
Some are only 28 pages so it is an easy read lol.
I am hoping things go smooth with him too. I really think it was my fault.
This week I did grabbing like you do lol
Lol 14 in two days? That’s awesome! Ha ha Monster Porn Mondays has to be one of the more fun features I’ve seen around… :):):
Sorry to hear about Miss Peregrines! To be honest I wasn’t really into that series much before the movie trailer but now I’m really curious. It looks fun and Eva green in anything is amazing. Hope things go well this week and you have a better week.
Beauty and the Clockwork Beast- awesome cover!
Some I don’t even remember the names so I never posted it on goodreads lol.
I was bummed, I have the first book and might try and read it next month then go to see the movie.
Thanks I’m hoping this week goes good as well.
I enjoy her Monster Porn posts too but haven’t been tempted to read the books YET. LOL Loving those holiday themed books. Never too early.
Her reviews totally made me want to try them and I have a few that are my favorite. If you ever decided to read them let me know I will give you a few to try out. 🙂
NEVER too early 🙂
Hahaha between you and Carol I’m going to end up lost I monster Porn too! I would love to, actually, I just have so many books I NEED to read.
I’m sorry Ryan’s first week ended so roughly, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed it was just a medicine snafu and he’ll start settling in well next week. Hugs!!
Oh and I totally blame you for the sudden increase of Christmas books on my shelf this morning 😉
If you need recommendations let me know, I will tell you my favorites and you can start with those 🙂
I have my fingers crossed too. He has a meltdown yesterday but it didn’t last that long. So I can kind of see the meds are starting to work again.
CHRISTMAS IS THE BEST!!!!! 🙂
You’re blaming me? ME?! *pauses* Well, ok. I’ll take the hit on that. In my defense, monser porn is totally fun! Well, usually. 😀
I hear ya on the total chaos. That’s currently my life. With luck, Anna will get her license tomorrow and I’ll have less chauffeuring to do and I’ll gain an extra driver.
Sorry to hear about Ryan’s incident. I’m sure he’ll be good to go for school tomorrow.
Total bummer about the movie. Hey! I got an idea. Go read some monster porn for a pickmeup. No? Bad idea? Alright, go read some of your supposed-to-reads. Party pooper. lolol
I hope you have a less chaotic and wonderful week, Michelle! xoxox
Yes, I blame you 😉 They really are fun but the last one I read was just OVER the top and I need to get back to reading normal lol. They really are a good pick me up some times. You need to read the BoBeep and the Alice does Wonderland by Vixen Wade. I’ll be honest those are my favorite.
I have my fingers crossed she gets her license and Ryan had a good week of school.
