Hello everyone! Last week was our first week back to (home)school and it was a really good, productive week. Wyatt enjoyed it, I enjoyed it – it was a nice ease back into the school year kind of week.
Read Last Week:
I had plans to read a different book this week, but I was still lingering in the world of Tom Lake and wasn’t ready for another big read. So I read this one, which is an old favorite. It’s a good time of year to revisit Barbara Michaels!
Reading This Week:
Ok, I said this last week but I mean it this week.
Posted Last Week:
Tuesday Morning Coffee Catch Up
Comfy Cozy Cinema: The Shop Around the Corner
Spooky, Creepy, Dark and Twisty: My Autumn Podcast Playlist
Watching and Listening:
Well, you know what I am listening to – spooky podcasts! Also Lord Huron, I tend to listen to a lot of Lord Huron in the fall.
As for watching, Billy and I are sort of all over the place. We watched Hotel Portofino last week, Death in Paradise, Newhart in the early evenings with Wyatt, and I have also been watching Grimm. It’s been so long since I watched it. Monroe is still my favorite character.
Lisa from Boondock Ramblings and I have started our fall movie watches too. We were hoping for cozy type movies, with some getting a little more scary as we get closer to Halloween. We started out with The Shop Around the Corner, and then this weekend we had a double feature – The Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Secret World of Arrietty. Our posts on those two will be up this week!
And that is about it from around here today! How are you all doing?
Your books look good. I haven’t read a Barbara Michaels book in a while, but now I want to grab one! Enjoy your week.
Thanks Laurel-Rain! I am enjoying rereading them this season!
We enjoyed Hotel Portofino a lot. We are going tomorrow to a spot in Italy near where the series is set.
I’m glad homeschooling is going well so far.
Please read Warrior Girl Unearthed soon and report back to us. lol
My favorite part of the show is the set and the location. It is just incredibly beautiful! I hope you enjoy your tour!
Well, I started Warrior Girl Unearthed and I am hooked! I am about 150 pages in so far and can’t wait to read more tonight!
Yay for a great first week back to school! I feel like it’s always the hardest to get started. But, once you are back in routine it is good. I hope you all have another good week.
I was so nervous lol like it was more than just Wyatt and I. But it went really well, and Wyatt was ready to go back!
Not sure why we do that to ourselves, LOL!
Lovely to catch up with you! We’re having a heat wave so everything is a bit tiring, but it should be over soon and back to the rain …
I am so done with heat, summer, bugs, steamy humidity… done. Lol. Now, I just Michigan to be done too.
Ooh Hotel Portofino!I keep forgetting about that show but I should rvisit it since I’m between shows anyway!
It is so good!
Great to hear your back to school went well.

Thanks Anne!
We watched a lot of Newhart this week and it was very nice! Looking forward to Fantastic Mr. Fox later today and Arrietty tomorrow.
Yes – I look forward to our family Newhart time in the evening. And I hope you love them as much as I do!
I’ve enjoyed a lot of Barbara Michaels’ books, including the Egyptian series. She was such a good writer.

I really need to read her Elizabeth Peters Egyptian books!
Glad to hear the return to homeschooling went well… hope it’s the start of a very good year!
Thank you!
I never read Barbara Michaels but I heard many great things about her. I hope you have a great week!
I have been reading her for so long now – they are for sure my go to comfort books and the condition of my books shows that. Lol.
We really like Grimm. It’s about time to rewatch it. I remember when my SIL was telling me about it, and I just couldn’t understand the premise at all. It’s probably one of my all time favorite shows.
I’m so glad your week went well! Here’s to a fabulous year of learning and experiencing!

I know! I was so bummed when it ended but then the Juliet storyline got a little weird and I think that just messed the show up a bit.
Thank you Marsha!
I’m glad that your home schooling got off to such a great start for both you and Wyatt.
Thanks Joy!
I’m a big fan of Grimm.
Americans tend to be so seasonal lol, we don’t seem to have that much here.
Wishing you a happy reading week
I think about that every time I go so crazy over a new season. Lol. I always wonder if it is because I grew up and live in a state that has four distinct seasons and if it is different in the southern states?
Have a great week and an awesome school year! 🙂
Nice to hear back to school went well! I do feel like reading things spooky this time of year, but never thought of a spooky podcast. That does sound fun. I have Tom Lake on request at my library. Sounds like you enjoyed it.
Have a wonderful week, Erin! 🙂
I may watch some of the movies on your list. I hope you have a great week!
Let me know what you think if you do!
