Hello everyone! This past week was a pretty darn good week. It was a good mix of busy and slow, which was nice. We are about to have two pretty busy weeks in a row so this calm before the storm was welcome.
I was also totally wrapped up in the book I was reading! Last week I couldn’t settle, but I guess I hadn’t picked up the exact right book. That book ended up being Riley Sagar’s The Last Lie I Told, which was fantastic. I am late to the party on reading Sagar and at least now I have a bunch of his books to read!

I LOVED this book and could not put it down. I can’t wait to read another of his books.
Reading This Week:

This week Billy and I will be taking turns going to Wyatt’s different programs at music camp, and so when it is not my turn to be with him, I will be sitting in the lobby reading this book. I started it over the weekend and so far it is funny and lighthearted. I hope I continue to like it! Maybe I should take another book or two as well, just in case.

Top Ten Tuesday – Bookish Wishes
Watching:
Our evenings have been very full lately, and instead of watching a tv show at night we have just been enjoying some YouTube favorites. Lots of Alexis Dahl , a Michigan YouTuber who vlogs about Michigan history and science which we find fascinating (I believe Katja told me about her!). We have also been watching The Unexpected Gypsy, who is an artist with great personal style (braids and overalls, my fave), and The Rambling Rose, another artist.
So, not a super lot to report here this week! I hope you all are doing well!
Both of those books looks and sound great!

It’s great to discover a new author you like and then to discover the author has already written several other books.
I’ve been taking a look at Poetry in America on PBS. It’s not my husband’s thing so I’ve had to sneak it in when he is giving faceting lessons.

Yes! I was super excited when I saw how many there were that I could read!
Oh how cool! I need to read poetry more than I do. I do enjoy it I just don’t get to it too often.

Those books look very good.
It will be good to take a few books with you – or a library – in case you don’t like one or the other. 😉
I need to try some of those YouTubers. I’ve watched Rambling Rose before but need to get back to her!

So glad you had a good week. I’ve always kind of thought about trying Riley Sager but thought maybe they were too horror.

I am determined to make it to the actual library this week. I’ll check out the Riley Sager selection there. They have mysteries in their own section which I think is weird.
We are watching Under the Bridge which is scarily accurate because girls are mean. We have binged it, and we will finish it tomorrow. I am curious to see how it ends.

I remember when summers meant my daughter went to music camp. When she was younger we had to drive her the bus about 25 miles every day. The camp was only 30 miles. It didn’t seem worth the effort so about half way through the week, we shifted to driving her to camp ourselves. It was a lot of driving for that week.

Yes, that sounds like a lot of driving. And like you made the right call to just go that extra five miles! This camp was about two hours away so we just stayed up there for the week. It was definitely worth it though.
