Hey all!! I hope you are all doing well. We have had a pretty good weekend, a good blend of lazy and active.
Reading This Week:
It is time for the comfy cozy books. Lisa and I have been watching thriller Hitchcock suspense movies and are heading back into comfy cozy movies, and I decided it is time to do read books that make me feel all snuggly as well. And what better book to start with than At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon?
Even this newer cover gives me snug and cozy vibes!
I also recently listened to Stitches in Time by Barbara Michaels, which is an old favorite I always gravitate back to.

Lisa and I have really been enjoying our comfy cozy movie series! We have a super fun one planned for January, that we will reveal very soon – and it would be awesome if others wanted to watch along as well!
Watching:
So things have been…complicated…around here lately. Just a lot going on personally with other family members and myself and when that happens, I go a little quiet here in this space. And..our tv becomes full of old favorites. We have been watching a lot of the BBC Farm Shows, Edwardian Farm and Victorian Farm. My favorite is Edwardian; Billy really likes Victorian. If you have seen these, let me know which you like best, I am curious! (There is wartime farm too, we haven’t gotten to that one again though yet)
This week we are also watching the newest incarnation of Little Women for Comfy Cozy Cinema. And with Wyatt we have of course been watching the classic Halloween specials! We watched Disney’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow, It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, and then this afternoon we watched The Garfield Halloween special with my niece Mermaid Girl. What are we missing, for kids movies? Any suggestions?
And that’s it from my currently cold and blustery corner of Michigan! How is it going in your neighborhood?
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
I am sorry that things have been complicated lately. I get it, I also go quiet when things are like that. I hope things improve as best they can. I can’t remember a lot of Halloween kid movies…I am sure they have them, just not familiar with them. I hope you have a great week!

I hope things calm down for you. I’ve been wanting to watch some suspense movies, but haven’t seen anything that gets my interest. I do love Hitchcock, though.
I hope you have a great week!

Well, right now, there’s a documentary on the tv about Monty Python…so we watch lots of weird stuff! We recently started watching Revenge, and it’s pretty good. I just finished The Unteachables by one of my favorite YA authors, Gordon Korman. I read it in a day; it was just that good.
I hope all goes well for your family.

Lol we watch weird stuff too. Like seriously, we have watched this farm shows a million times. I remember shelving the Gordon Korman books but I never read one!
Thanks Marsha.

Those are definitely some comfy cozy choices. I like Frozen II in the fall because it has beautiful autumn colors. Little Women sounds good — I might have to rewatch that.

Wait how have we not watched Frozen II! I guess we need to remedy that.
It was nice cozy revisit of Little Women!

It’s been Halloween all the time around here. Brooklyn is obsessed, so we’ve been celebrating all month. I think we’ve watched all the Halloween classics several times.

I feel like I would like to read some cozy books and watch some cozy mysteries. It’s been complicated here, too—I don’t tend to go quiet, but instead I tend to get louder about anything I can find that’s good. I do hope things are resolved in a good way there.
I hope to read some nonfiction and some novellas next month. I hope to find some uplifting ones!

That’s so funny about Jan Karon because I started a reread of These High Green Hills last week as a comfort read. Reading Jan is like coming home for me. It’s the epitome of comfort and cozy to me.

I’m looking forward to seeing what you watch next. And now I have all the Farms on my To Watch list. That sounds fantastic. I’ve read Stitch in Time several times and need to read it again! It’s so good but I don’t love how she made the Karen and Mark from Shattered Silk act so I have to be careful not to think of it as a sequel.

Lol! I am such a nerd with these farm shows, I hope you like them as well!!!
And that is so weird what she did with Karen and Mark. I can’t imagine why she did that. I remember the first time reading it I was like why do they keep calling her kara?

So sorry about the family stuff. I have to be really careful with what I post on my blog, hence little personal and no family stuff. I LOVE Jan Karon, I discovered her years ago, the second book in the series in a discount remainder shop, and managed to find the others. I would like to re-read them, they’re so lovely. Have you read the British Miss Read series? They’re wonderful cosy comfort reads, too.

I love her too!! They are such wonderful books. And no I haven’t! I will have to look for them!
