I have had a week, I tell you! It was just crazy. I can’t even tell you why, but it disappeared like that! *snaps fingers* I blogged a lot, I went to a wet felting class with my stepmom, had parent teacher conferences, then on Saturday Billy, Wyatt, and I toured the Detroit Parade Company, which was awesome!!! A post on that with lots of photos is coming this week, I took a million so I will try to cut some out. Lol. I didn’t read as much as I intended to however – my Kindle ran out of juice and I never managed to charge it! I am so bad with that, it is one reason I read physical books more. I know, I’m weird.
Read This Week:
When my Kindle died, I reached for this. And I loved it! I guess I am feeling Christmas a little early this year – perhaps because I already drove my son to school in a white out?
I started 21st Century Yokel and was enjoying it but then ended up just reading Coming Home For Christmas. I was a little judgy of the main character at first and thought I might never like her, but then ended up loving the book.
Reading This Week:
I am going to hopefully finish 21st Century Yokel, and also read Alone in the Wild, which I am super excited for! I love this series!
Posted Last Week:
Nonfiction-Fiction Book Pairings – Nonfiction November
Watching:
AutumnWatch on Britbox – I’m obsessed a wee bit. Lol. Also Riverdale, and I also started watching the Reese Witherspoon show on Netflix, Shine On. The first episode with her and Dolly Parton is magic. I love them both.
How about you all? What is in going on in your world?
I didn’t know Tom Cox had a new book out. I love all his cat books.

I’ve recently realized my Kindle will no longer hold a charge.
It sounds like a good week even though it disappeared.

The Rockton series is another I want to read but haven’t had time for this year. I hope the latest instalment is good.
Wishing you a great reading week

It was really cool! I have never seen those giant floats up close before. I love Kelley Armstrong’s books, especially her last few series.

I’ve become a little obsessed with The Yorkshire Vet on AcornTV (like BritBox). I’ve never really gotten into holiday books, but I am always tempted when I see them on someone else’s blog.

Ooo we will have to look that up! We have the Acorn app on Amazon – I’ll look it up!
I love Christmas books. Lol. They are pretty much the happiest books ever – guaranteed happy endings at Christmas time. 🙂

I knew I wouldn’t want to take my Kindle with me to Oakland for the surgery, so I took a print book. But imagine this: I didn’t read at all.
I came through the surgery okay, then had some issues afterward that gave me an electrolyte imbalance, but I’m home now. And ready to binge-watch something.
Enjoy your week.

I am glad to hear that you are doing well now, and back at home! I have been trying to hold off watching Christmas movies but today we have a huge weird snowstorm (4-6 inches) and I feel them calling my name.
Isn’t so weird how when you think you will read you just can’t? I spent some time in the hospital before I had Wyatt and I absolutely could not read! It was so weird! Maybe now that you are home you will find the right book – or tv show! 🙂

I’m the opposite; I keep my devices charging any time I’m not using them. I almost never run out of power. I do prefer real books over electronic ones. They are much easier to tote around.
I’m very interested in 21st Century Yokel. I can’t wait to hear what you think of it.
Have a lovely week.

I am so very unprepared most of the time. Lol. I’m good with all of our family and household stuff, but my own stuff is a mess. And real books are easier to carry around!
Thanks Deb!

I do the same- sometimes the Kindle dies and I’m like *sigh* I’ll plug it in LATER lol and then of course forget and it sits for two days. Picking up a book is somehow easier. 🙂
Riverdale is such a guilty pleasure for me. In fact I need to finish S3, I never did!

Haha yes! That is pretty much exactly what I do.
I am just working on Season 3 now. It is the craziest show. Lol. I still feel sad every time I see Luke Perry. I had such a crush on him while I was in high school watching BH90210! Lol.

I’ve never ready any Tom Cox myself, but have heard good things – enjoy! A happy week – reading & otherwise – to you!

I am only about 25% of the way into the book, but I have highlighted so many passages already! I love him! Where John Lewis-Stempel is more serious sounding, almost poetic and deep in his descriptions, there is a bit of lightness and humor to Tom Cox. 🙂 I am really enjoying him!
