Check out the The Caffeinated Book Review for the Sunday Post
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date
Last week was a big week of chores. Lol. Don’t we all have those weeks where it is like you have a million different family business or work related tasks to take care of? That was my week, just TCB. Thursday was supposed to be book club night, but our hostess Mary got sick and had to cancel so a few of us went out for drinks instead. Then Friday night we had an impromptu get-together with my little brother and his family, where we got a few pizzas, and then took the kids out to the backyard where we tried to call screech owls. It was pretty funny, my niece L. was racing around asking where is the owl , while Wyatt was doing his best imitations of the screech owl call. Neither of them, at three years old, were very good at the being quiet and listening part yet. It was a really good moment, although a bit chilly one.
Read Last Week:
I loved revisiting this island and it’s inhabitants! This was a great book. And luckily for me, while I was reading it, the next book in the series came in!
Reading This Week:
What we are Watching:
Riverdale, Great British Bake Off reruns, HGTV , Midnight Texas – and I am about to start watching all the Christmas movies that I can!
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
I have loved reading a couple of Colgan’s books, so I want to read these latest ones.
You had a great week…I hope the new week is also productive and enjoyable. Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

Yay for Christmas shows! We just watched White Christmas the other day which is something of a tradition over here now, I guess. And I watched the latest Riverdale last night- that show lol.

That is one of our favorites! I used to watch it with my mom every year growing up, now we watch it here every year. It is a true classic.

I had actually put makeup on for the first time in a month, so staying home was not an option! Lol.

Yes! It was busy but fun, and I definitely needed that night out. Plus, I was already all dressed up to leave my house (ie..real pants not yoga pants, and actual makeup on), so staying home was not an option. Lol. We had a great time out too. 🙂

The antidote to a busy week of chores is cuddling with your son and a book at night. He certainly is growing up quickly! I like the looks of those Colgan books. Have a wonderful, less stressful week ahead.

Wyatt is a cuddlebug too! Which I of course love. Lol. He’s only little for so long, and like you said, he is growing so fast! He loves books too, the other day he wanted to cuddle his book at naptime. 🙂
Colgan is my new favorite go to read author. I started reading her and couldn’t stop.

I really liked the books too! Are you caught up on the show? I am so confused by some of the choices happening the past two weeks. I still like it, but where is everyone going? Lol.

Not yet – I think we’ve only watched one or two episodes of the new season so far. Oh no, that doesn’t sound good. Hopefully it’ll all make sense soon. I need to convince my husband to stop watching reruns of Impractical Jokers on Saturday so we can get caught up.

I’m watching Christmas stuff, too! It sounds like you had a busy week. I also had a lot of meetings and time spent with other people. I was completely exhausted by the end of it. I need my books and quiet time.
