It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date

Hi everyone! It’s a beautiful Sunday morning here, I am drinking a good cup of coffee, and my people and my cat are sitting near (and Wyatt is watching Mr. Rogers, so peaceful!). I am content and happy. I have to get up and get ready for church soon but I have time to write.

Read Last Week:

Ok, so I listened to another audiobook. I have been finding it easier to listen to books these days than find time to read. I used to read while Wyatt was in therapy but lately I have been actually going in to his sessions to watch and learn as well. This week though, I have an actual book to read and I am so excited!

Reading This Week:

So, my birthday is this week and yesterday I came home to an early birthday gift! Lisa from Boondock Ramblings sent me this book and I can’t wait to start reading it. It looks so cute and cozy – just my thing these days. Wasn’t that so sweet of her? I would love to run a bookmobile. What a dream job that would be!

Speaking of Lisa, she made this awesome reel that went viral on Instagram! (You can find the documentary on Amazon Prime too)

Watching and Listening:

When I am not wrapped up in our comfy cozy cinema movies (only one left! Fisherman’s Friends, this week!) we are watching Wartime Farm, part of the BBC Historical Farm series. We actually just finished it up last night, and now have to figure out what show we are watching next! We love this farm series, it is just so fascinating to see how things were done in the past on these farms. Wartime Farm was particularly interesting because it talked about just how vital farmers were to Britain’s survival during WWII. After years of depending on imports for food, Britain found itself having to produce enough food to feed the entire nation to avoid being starved out as food became harder to receive through imports as Europe was torn up by war and boats just couldn’t get through. Farmers needed to feed everyone in the country, if they were to survive. It shows how things began to get tighter and tighter and more rationed and what the people had to do. It was extremely interesting. They delve into how the government had pamphlets for everything, telling them exactly what to prepare to eat, about the land girls who worked the land and later in factories, about the lumber jills who worked cutting down trees, the Bevin Boys conscripted to work in the mines… I could go on and on. We are giant history nerds over here.

One thing I hope to watch this week is the new Mr. Dressup documentary on Amazon! Mr. Dressup was my favorite show when I was little, even more than Mr. Rogers who I also loved. Mr. Dressup though was all about art and dressing up, and I was such a kid who loved that sort of thing – much like my own child is now.

As for listening, no podcasts lately, just audiobooks. I hope to find some uplifting, seasonal podcasts soon!

And that is it from my corner of Michigan! I hope you all stay safe and happy this week!
