It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date
If you read my last Sunday-Monday post, then you know that I recently lost my aunt, to whom I was very close with. Thank you to all of you who left such kind comments. These past two weeks have been about grieving, but also healing. This past Saturday we had a great day as a family, heading out into nature, taking a small hike, then stopping at a bakery we really like in Detroit, where we bought some bread and cookies and listened to a little music. Today we watched one of my nieces, and she and Wyatt had a great time playing together – they both loved the impromptu dance party we had! Because really, dancing is fun!
Read Last Week:
I picked this up off the shelf at the library because I am a bird nerd, and I was intrigued. I am glad that I did, because this book was really unique for the paranormal genre. Full of Nordic lore, new types of creatures, a whole new type of mythology. I will be reading the next in this series for sure!
Reading This Week:
I am usually a pretty seasonal reader but this winter has been nuts and I am ready for springtime and color and sunshine! As I write this post, a wind storm is blowing across our state, along with a wicked cold front. I’m over it. And Sunset Beach looks like the perfect cure for the wintertime blues..
Posted Last Week:
Watching:
Top Chef (someone a few weeks ago asked how I like this season – it’s not too bad!), The Umbrella Academy which we binged and loved and can’t wait for the next season, and Home Town
How about all of you? What’s happening in your world?
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
I love Nordic stuff so Stork sounds interesting! I’ll have to check it out. And I love going to a favorite bakery- they always smell so good! Mmm bread lol.

I love when I find an older book at the library that I really like. Lol. It was pretty good! And seriously, if you are ever Detroit way stop at Avalon bakery. So good! Just don’t buy their brownies..they are not as good. Lol.

Stork sounds interesting and slightly familiar. I either had a copy or read it quite a while ago. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

I liked that it was a completely different paranormal type idea, one that I have not read before. It was not too bad!

The Stork looks interesting and is definitely eye catching! And Mary Kay Andrews has been calling my name for a few years now. I love how summery her covers look. This year is the year I’m going to read something by her! The Nature day sounds fun and we’ve been desperately needing to get outside more – especially now that it’s getting warmer. Hope you’re having a great week!

It’s always interesting to read a story influenced by cultures we normally don’t read or know about.
