The weather here last week was super gross, and Wyatt and I had to stay in more than we usually do. We did have a picnic lunch on my mom’s lawn one day, visiting my mom (socially distanced) and then I had a socially distanced night at my friend Kelly’s. But really, it was a pretty slow week around here! I did get one of my big book orders in that I had placed for Wyatt’s school year, which was super exciting for me. It took me back to when I worked in the school library and all of our orders would start showing up – just on a much smaller scale.
Read Last Week:
Mary Stewart is a go to author for me, and this one was no different. Love revisiting her every so often.
Reading this Week:
I had started this a few weeks ago, but I was reading an egalley version and for some reason I could only read it on my phone, which was annoying. I had read enough of it though to know I wanted it, so I ordered it. I will finish reading it this week – I am so excited! This book is gorgeous by the way. Review soon.
Posted Last Week:
Mini-Post: A Morning in the Country
Homeschooling, Summer Edition: Space
Watching:
We are watching a few things – The Umbrella Academy, Evil Genius, and Father Brown. Evil Genius is insane. My brother had told me to watch it a while ago, and we are just getting to it. It takes place in Erie, PA, a place that some of my extended family has lived, so I was intrigued just by that alone.
That’s about it on my end. Stay safe everyone!
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
I really need to check out The Umbrella Academy. I am also curious about Evil Genius.
Your books look good. Enjoy them and have a great week.

Evil Genius is crazy. But be prepared, they do not cut away from scenes you think they are going to. If you think something you might now want to see is about to be shown, close your eyes. It was kind of startling.

But Umbrella Academy is also fantastic!! No warnings for that one. Lol.

The Umbrella Academy looks like something my husband and son will like, but I’m not sure I will. I’m going to be ordering more school books in September so I’ll know that excitement then. 🙂

Oo we love it! It is definitely very superhero/comic bookish. I think it was a comic book maybe? I am not sure.

I’ve heard good things about Umbrella Academy, but I’m usually too busy reading to watch much TV. Hope the weather is better next weekend. Enjoy your reading!

My mom put me on to Mary Stewart when I was younger. I’ve always thought I’d like to go back and reread her.
I just looked for 100 Things to Do in a Forest and it doesn’t seem to be at my library yet. I added it to a list at Amazon so I can look for it a little later.
We are still plugging away through Seinfeld. I’m surprised to see how much Seinfeld I have never seen.
Have a great week!

I probably picked her up one day wandering through the library – I am glad that I did, she is a definite reread author for me. 🙂 There is a blogger who used to do a Mary Stewart week – I lost her blog when I switched years ago. I should search her out!

It was warm enough in CT that we needed the air all week, but yesterday it rained all day… almost felt like fall. Today all the windows are open and it’s glorious! I’ve only read one Mary Stewart novel (Nine Coaches Waiting, I think) and enjoyed it quite a bit. Have a good week.

I love our picnics this summer – we are doing so many because well Covid, so it is a good way to be outside. 🙂

I’ve never done e-gallery books. I should spend more time trying to figure out how to get free preview copies of books but I am satisfied with the books I can get from the library for the most part, My Sunday Post is a snapshot of my brain

That is good! I do some e-galley but not too many – I am so changeable about what I feel like reading I don’t like to commit unless I am fairly certain I will like it. 🙂

Yeah, social distancing has certainly reduced our activities too. I love it when our boxes of resources arrive from our county’s education resource centre. As a teaching assistant, I don’t do the ordering, so I’m always very excited to open up the boxes and see what’s inside.
