This past week has been all about rest and recovery. My little kiddo came down with a terrible cough Monday, requiring breathing treatments, so we have been taking it easy this week. Of course, my husband and I are both sick now too, but at least it is the weekend and we can all be sickies together. The three of us have been holed up in our bedroom a lot, watching television, reading, coloring, singing, and napping. It was some nice family togetherness but I wish we had all been feeling better!
So, a pretty uneventful week around here, although I did manage to get a start on my Christmas shopping, buying some stuff online, and I also made quite a few lists of plans and ideas. Now, to just feel well enough to start on them!
I didn’t make it to the library unfortunately, to pick up my holds, so my reading material was a bit limited. Oh! And I bought the first book I have bought for myself in TWO YEARS! And of course the delivery is scheduled for sometime before the end of November. Lol. Oh well, it will be here eventually and I am excited!
Read Last Week:
I really enjoyed this book!! I loved the writing and the characters, and I thought the concept was unique as well. I plan to review some of my recent reads very shortly!
Reading This Week:
I am going to try to get to the library this week, but I am diving into my review book pile as well. I wanted to save this for after Halloween though, so this plan might change. We shall see!
The Victory Garden by Rhys Bowen – I love reading about the Land Girls in England during the war! I heard about them first when I watched these BBC productions on different farms during different eras which I thought was fascinating, but the WWII farm was one of my faves to watch and learn about.
Watching:
Lots of YouTube, Sabrina (SO GOOD!), Reign, Curious George Halloween, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Daniel Tiger, Star Trek reruns, HGTV. Lol. It’s been quite a mix!
How about you all?
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
I hope you are all feeling better soon, and I love the cover on The Victory Garden.
Enjoy your week. Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

I really enjoyed it! I think it had some interesting twists!
Omg Sabrina!!! I love it but it was not what I was expecting. Lol. It is a little more horror than campy.

I have four, small Marie Calendar’s potpies in the oven and I’ll drag out the organic soup from Costco later on to slowly heat up. I like the looks of that Spellbook of Lost and Found.

That sounds like it was delicious! When I was a kid, I ate potpies like crazy. Lol. I was super picky and they were like one of five things I would eat. And soup yum! I just ate some chicken and wild rice soup for lunch – I’m a vegetarian most of the time but sometimes (like in times of family illness) that I eat chicken soup.
Spellbook of the Lost and Found was pretty good! It was slow but had some interesting twists.

I hope you’re all on the mend now… it’s tough when the whole family is sick at once. The Rhys Bowen novel looks great!
