It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date
We had a pretty good week! We studied bears, we spent some lazy time on a blanket in the park under the trees, and we went to a Chestnut farm on Sunday which was a new experience for us! I have also slowly started one of my projects, adding plants into our home… I am notoriously a bad plant mom so fingers crossed for our Persia (Persian Shield). This one is from my sister-in-law Chrissy – it is so big, I love it!
Read Last Week:
Two very different but very good books! I have just a bit left in Help the Witch but I hope to finish it sometime today. We have an appointment at the neurosurgeon today though, so that will be a big chunk of the day. I think I can still do it though! Reviews upcoming this week for Return to Virgin River and next week for Help the Witch.
Reading this Week:
This has been on my TBR for a long time and I am looking forward to finally reading it!

Watching:
We decided it was way past time to watch Sherlock, so we decided that will be our Saturday night television. (we are super exciting) We are also watching The Great British Baking Show, and Victorian Farm (on Amazon). I think we are going to start Outlander this week though.. I have been holding off until the fall and it feels sufficiently enough like fall to start the new season. Jamie Fraser has always been the bar I set my bookish crushes by….lolol. Wyatt is watching lots of Pete the Cat and Scout and Daisy still, as well as Molly of Denali. I have to admit I was really excited about the new season of Molly too!
And that is about it from my life right now – stay safe everyone.
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
I’ve seen a number of people mention the new Robyn Carr book and I am now considering falling down a Virgin River rabbit hole as I have never read the series and everyone who has mentioned it talks so fondly of it.
Good to hear your week went well. I wish you & your family the same for this week.

This book was the happiest of happy books. It was built around a sad plot, but the book was very.. happy in a Hallmark movie way? It was good though. 🙂

I knew of Pete the Cat books, but didn’t realize there was a show. I need to look into that for my great nieces. I hope all goes well at Wyatt’s appointment. Have a good week.

Wyatt LOVES Pete the Cat – the books, the music, the cartoon. I have to admit I like them too. 🙂 And we got the thumbs up today from the doctor! Thank you, you too!

I need to rewatch Sherlock. I watched it when it was coming out and there was such a length of time between series that it was hard to keep track of everything. I haven’t started The Great British Bake Off yet but it’s always a nice relaxing favorite. Sounds like a good week and I will keep my fingers crossed for your plant. I’m terrible at keeping them alive!

I was pretty impressed with the first episode! It is going to be hard to wait all week for another episode but we are going to do it. 🙂 And yes, the bake off is so relaxing and cozy! And thank you, I will need everyone’s support in keeping this plant alive! Lol.

Victorian Farm sounds really good. And good luck with your plant! We’ve been managing to keep a few alive now and that’s no small feat lol!

I am so eager to get my hands on Return to Virgin River. The series on Netflix revived my interest in the book series.
Your plant looks gorgeous. I am not great at keeping plants alive, but there is always hope, right?
Have a great week, and stay safe.

I never read any of the books until now lol, but I did watch the show! It was the happiest book ever. And lets hope there is hope! I want to keep these guys alive. I named them ( I also have a philodendron) so I hope I can keep them alive.

Glad to hear that your week went well. I can’t keep a houseplant alive and wish you luck. I enjoyed reading the Pete the Cat books to my young students when I was a librarian. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

It is high time you watch Sherlock. Benedict is my favorite modern Sherlock. Basil Rathbone is my favorite “traditional” Sherlock. You can see him on Britbox, if you have that.
The serial killer book looks interesting. Yikes! Should be fun.
I still need to read Virgin River. My list is getting very long. I’m finally starting the book on homeschooling that you recommended.
I hope the neurology appointment for Wyatt went okay.

Lol – it is a fast read, I am already halfway through and I started it this afternoon, without a lot of time to read.
The neuro appt went well! We got a thumbs up. 🙂
