I watched (the French version of) The Returned but didn't love the ending. I thought it was the series ending, so guess it's good it's back.

I can relate to the feeling knackered thing but in my case I really have no cause. I'm not terribly busy or anything. I've had a couple of colds / flus but that's about it. Just a case of the blahs making me feel apathetic perhaps.

Sounds like you're keeping your head above water though Heather, so well done on that front!

Yay for fall! I'm looking forward to seeing what you have for SciFi month. Should be fun. The Returned and You, Me and the Apocalypse both look good- I'm going to check this out.

I've seen the Nightvale book around and I'm curious- have you listened to the podcast? I listened to the first one and may do more- I'm curious. :)

Thank for the shoutout!!

Sandwich with words, lol ! I'm currently watching the previous season of The Walking dead, I'm late ! I'm French, but I haven't watched Les revenants yet, I'm planning to. Never heard of the apocalypse but I'd really like to see that ! Enjoy your book haul ;)

Ohh Hidden Doors, Secret Rooms looks good, I just checked though and it's not free anymore but I'll keep an eye out for it now!
I have Christmas at Lilac Cottage too to read during HoHoHo and I think it looks so cute. Can't wait to get stuck into my Christmassy books!

I enjoyed Allison Hewitt is trapped-there were a lot of things in the book I didn't expect and I like that. And of course zombies! I can't seem to get enough of them at the moment. I'm guessing you're enjoying Surviving the Evacuation if you're up at book 6 and 7-I didn't like the MC in book one. His moaning made me realise why people would want to leave him behind! Anyway, enjoy all your books!

Ooh, Shopaholic to the Rescue! That should be fun! Of course I ended up not reading her last one. I used to love her books and buy them automatically but now I wait to get them from the library. Hopefully this one will be just as good as the older ones. The Twelve Dates of Christmas looks like a cute holiday romance.

I am not so excited about fall as I consider it a harbinger of winter. I have resisted getting my sweaters out of storage but I'm sure I can't put it off for much longer! The one good thing about fall is the excuse it gives me to enjoy a mug of hot cider :)

Hope you get some answers for your blog issues. I never trust the view numbers because they don't seem to be reliable.

The Returned was fantastic I loved it I found this episode really creepy with the whole baby thing. I love Simon I want more of him. And that bloody deer was creepy. Have a great week.

Ah -- but if you schedule for Sci-Fi Month, that's a post that could also count for Blog-Ahead. I'm so glad that I saw your mention of Sci-Fi Month. I'm signing up and planning on getting a couple of the posts written in advance during this Blog-Ahead period.

I hope you get the spam issues sorted....I hate the idea of them out there plotting things....

Otherwise, sounds like a good week...I want to see the new Fargo show. I also like anything with Rob Lowe...he is more fun now than back in the 80s, as part of the "brat pack."

Thanks for visiting my blog...enjoy your week!

It's gotten cold here this week as well! I don't like being cold, but I do enjoy the autmumn colours and having a chance to wear my winter clothes again. I only got 2 posts doen for Blog Ahead this week and both on the same day, I hope next week will be more productive, but as long as I am making some progress I am happy. Have fun with sci-fi month! I participated last year and had a lot of fun with it, but think I'll skip this year.

I can't give you any advice for spam on blogger. I only know how to do things on wordpress. I have some plugins which work great against spam, although I think there's no way you can get rid of the hack attempts completely. I hope you have a great week and enjoy your new books!

So many good books in your book haul. With blogger they protect your site, I don't think they enable you to blog anyone. Just be sure you back up your blog regularly, your theme too. I hope you get a few posts done for Blog Ahead and Sci-Fi

I'm sorry you've been so tired. And I hope those "minus" temperatures are Celsius, not Fahrenheit! But I do enjoy the cooler weather and the excuse to haul out my knitwear - and knit some more. I haven't watched any of your series - I didn't even know about the Rob Lowe one, but I can picture him in a role like that. Your new books look good; the Holly Martin covers are adorable! Have a wonderful week.

Rebel Belle looks like a lot of fun! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it. Fall has hit in my neck of the woods too. Parts of my state have already gotten snow! Ugh!
Thanks for stopping by the The Local Muse

A great book haul there! I've heard good things about Rebel Belle.

Boo to spambots! Hope you can get rid of them. TV has kept me from reading as much. I just got back from vacation and am trying to catch up on so much!! Love all the Christmas books!!! Hav a great week!

Welcome To Nightvale is a book now?! How did I not know this?! :o That's definitely going on the wishlist :D

i feel like autumn is gonna skip us and we gonna go straight into winter, we already had some snow yesterday and frost. Oh sorry about the spam :( how irritating.
horray for all the christmas books!

Must be the week for it, I'm totally knackered too. Loved visiting Scotland but I think I'd have to go into hibernation for autumn and winter if I lived there lol. Yummy book choices and great viewing. This week I've caught up on Season 6 of Downton Abbey, Scandal, The Blacklist. Oops, I'll have to give up sleep if I'm actually going to get book reviews done HA

I don't watch the other two, but I love TWD! It's been absolutely amazing this season. I can't wait to see what happens. I'm behind on the comics, so everything will be a surprise. Rick is crazy, but I love him, and Carol is a badass.

When it starts getting dark really early, I just want to sleep too. Or stay in my bathtub with a big glass of wine and a good book. Nothing else...
Your new books look really good, and I hope you'll enjoy them all, Heather!

lol Heather, I love your Beauty and the Beast quote/pic :P It's awesome. I LOVE Belle, she's like the ultimate bookish cartoon :P She's beautiful and so smart! And brave... *quits rambling*
*takes a deep breath* I don't hate you... *wishes she could find an italics button* for the whole Shopaholic thing... but you're definitely going to have to tell me how it goes! Then you'll be my BFF ;) he he.
Have a great week!

I really want to read Rebel Belle. I've heard great things about it :) The Twelve Dates of Christmas looks like such a cute read!

Rebel Belle is a book I have been meaning to read for a while so I am looking forward to getting to that one. Oh, and I also really do like the sound of anything Sophie Kinsella because those books are always hilarious and well written :)

I have been in a blogging funk, too. I didn't even manage a Sunday Post last week. Still loving your Bizarre Books feature. I downloaded Adventures in Funeral Crashing ages ago (for free) and haven't read it yet. Thanks for reminding me. Hope you had a great week!
