Twenty (O)ne Things This Week

Bringing back the weekly roundup of links because I miss sharing with y’all.

For me this past week has been all about The World Athletics Championship in Eugene, Oregon. So thrilling and I only wish I was there!
This week is Shark Week. Are you into it?
I have some long flights and layovers this week, so my plan is to finish the audiobook of Sundial, Catriona Ward, and then watch Stranger Things Season 4 and Ozark Season 4 (both of which I’ve been meaning to watch forever).
I’m also looking forward to House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones, which is coming on August 21. Have you read the books or watched the tv series?
And to add more to your “to watch” list, check out Rotten Tomatoes Best TV and Streaming Series of 2022 (So Far).
Am I the only person not really into podcasts? I feel like I can’t add another type of media to my life right now … but that doesn’t stop me from thinking one day I might get into it, so I bookmarked The Podcasts Our (Camille Styles) Editors Listen To for an Instant Mood Boost.

The nominees for the 2022 World Fantasy Awards have been announced. I’ve read 2 of the 5 nominees for Best Novel (The Last House on Needless Street, Catriona Ward, and A Master of Djinn, P. Djèlí Clark) and will definitely read the others.
There have been many “Best Books of 2022 So Far” lists including our own (M)id-Year Book FreakOut Extravaganza.
New book recommendations alert – 3 (N)ew Books We Recommend Reading this Year.
And because I like horror books … Summer Scares: 18 Horror Books That Will Chill You to the Bone this Season.
And fantasy – The 72 Most Popular Fantasy Novels of the Past Three Years.
How are you doing on your reading challenges this year? And with all the books you’ve added to your reading list? Here’s Our Reading (I)nbox Mid-Year Reading List Update
… and I’ve read 12 books from My #20BooksofSummer (2022) Reading List (with a few deviations of course).

It’s great to see get a peak into how other households work – How Family Meetings Are Saving Us Right Now.
Also interesting to see other people’s routines – 10 Tips for a Better AM from a Special Operations Captain and a Naval Flight Officer.
I’m not sure if these are really the 46 Best Places to Visit in the US but it’s a great start with a bucket list of trips. What type of vacationer are you? Museums, theater, beach, active/adventure?
Some things I’ve been researching recently – What do you pack for century rides? and Ride Day Checklist and 10 Tips for Making Your Century Ride More Successful (not planning to do the full century … but maybe before the year is out).
Also wanting to buy some cool shades for riding and running (well – once I start running outside in the Fall) – Runners World Recommendations and thinking about running half marathons next year (I dream far into the future).
