Last week our house was dealing with germs! My son caught the dreaded back to school cold and passed it on to my husband. I have been dealing with my own asthma for two weeks, thanks to ragweed season. Fingers crossed for a better week! We did manage to visit the zoo for a quick few hours Friday morning, and then go to Hawkfest with my brother and his family on Saturday. I am excited, this week I get to take my niece on a school field trip to the pumpkin patch! It should be fun, and I am looking forward to hanging out with her.
Read Last Week:
The Daughters of Temperance Hobbs is a sequel to The Physick Book of Deliverance Dance, which I loved. I was so excited to read this one, and I loved it just as much! Review this week.
Reading This Week:
I finally picked this up and I am loving it! Just what I needed after a few super intense reads. If I do finish it, I am reading this one next, although I am nervous.
I have mixed feelings about reading this – as the mother of a child with Cerebral Palsy I am thrilled that there is a book with a main character that has CP; on another level, I know this will probably be a bit emotional to read as well.
Watching:
We binged and finished up Mindhunter Season 2- that show really is fantastic. I was riveted and when the season ended I wasn’t ready! We also started watching The British Bake Off, which we always love. This week we might start the Dark Crystal series on Netflix – I loved that movie as a kid!
Posted Last Week:

Let me try again.
I hope Wild and Crooked is everything you look for in a story. It is very important to me that books are both windows and mirrors. I will be curious to see what you think of this one.
We volunteered yesterday at the Hummingbird Xtravaganza. It was great fun. I plan to go to our hawk watch soon.
Have a wonderful week.

I love your comment about books being doors and windows. What a great thought. So true!
Ooo Hummingbirds!!! That is awesome! It was really interesting at Hawkwatch this year, it was so hot and humid, that the hawks were not migrating yet. So much later every year.

The books look good — and I know what you mean. Sometimes a book hits a little too close to home.
I LOVE Great British Baking Show! I’m wondering who will win…

Yes!! I am afraid it is going to hurt my heart, to read what I know is a probably good possibility for my kiddo’s future. We will see.
Oh my gosh I know!!! I love Michelle and Henry right now… lol.
