Also, please remember that I read/watch/listen to things in a variety of genres, and for all ages, so you should make sure you check that the book/movie/show/song is suitable for the intended audience before reading/watching/listening to it, especially if children are involved. I take no responsibility for anything which may happen as a result of failing to do so.
 
If you want to know more about the book, or the author, click on whichever it is you want to learn more about, and it will take you to the appropriate page on Goodreads. Clicking on my rating should take you to my actual Goodreads review for the book in question. Please bear in mind that the format I've reviewed on Goodreads may not be the format I actually read.
 
Alternatively, if it's a movie or TV show you want to know more about, just click on the title to go to a page where you can find out more details about the movie or TV show in question; the title links will usually take you to a page on IMDB.

OK. Let's see what I've been reading, watching, and listening to, and which song I'm going to share this week, shall we? After all, that's the point of this post, and why you're here today, right?

• Reading:

This week I once again finished one book and started another.  I did think at one point I might finish the second book in time to include it in this week's post, but I didn't manage to do that after all.  So, here's the review for the book I did manage to finish.

 

City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this book, but didn't love it. It was nowhere near as good as book three, and took ages for anything to actually happen. To be honest, it's only the exxcellent last few chapters that stopped me giving this book only three stars, and if I could give half stars my actual rating would be 3.5 stars; this book only gets four stars from me because I always round up.

• Watching:

This week I didn't watch much, but I did manage to watch a few more "Outlander" episodes.  That's it though.

• Listening:

This week I've been listening to very little music.  So I'm just going to share a random song I really like with you this week.  With that in mind, here's Aselin Debison singing "The Gift" - just because it's a beautiful song, and we could all use some beauty to enjoy right now.  So... Enjoy!
