Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I hope you are all doing well this morning! It is again freezing here, and I am wondering just where the warmer days are. For now I will have to remain content with my coffee, quilt, and cat to warm me. Today we have a first birthday party for Little Girl. I can’t believe she is one already! March is a big birthday month in our family; we have four different kiddos with birthdays, and Wyatt is the one to kick them off at the beginning of the month.
So what did I read last week? I managed to finish two books, and also finish up an audiobook.
I read What You Are Looking for is in the Library and The Bellwoods Game. I had started a different middle grade book for middle grade March but couldn’t get into it, so I switched it up to The Bellwoods Game, which I did enjoy. I absolutely loved the Aoyama book!! As for The Girls from Hush Cabin, I listened to that on audio and it was ok. It sort of slowed way down in the middle, with no real action, and then the end seemed to drag on.
Reading This Week:
This week I am reading Thimble Summer for middle grade March, and also The Magic All Around, which I received from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Posted Last Week:
Tuesday Morning Coffee Catch Up
Mini Book Review: What You Are Looking for is in the Library
Easter Basket Book Suggestions
Watching:
This week we watched Murdoch Mysteries and Death in Paradise. Billy also has us watching a show called Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale and it is really well done but it is very intense for me, and disturbing. It is not scary in a supernatural way, but it is in how ugly people can treat it each other. I think it is like a modern day Crucible in some ways, and everything is so out of hand in the show right now, chaotic and upsetting. Thank goodness we will watch the final episode of the season tonight. I am ready to move on!
And that is it from my neighborhood! What is going on in your world?
Happy St. Paddy’s Day. What happened to our weather?! Oh yeah — March. I need to watch this week’s Vera and Paradise today — a good day to do it!

Lol! My son actually arrived early too! He was supposed to be an April birthday but instead was born at the beginning of March.
The Bellwoods Game was a cute read, and it had fun illustrations all through it. 🙂

March birthday celebrations are great for late winter blues! We always had a bunch of them when I was growing up – my grandparents and a couple of cousins, too. Enjoy the fun!

Happy birthday to the little one! I am catching up with a few blog posts as husband gets ready for bed, we’ve both packed as much as we can and travelling home from Spain tomorrow. We had a lovely chilled day today, just walking down to a park we really like and sitting watching the people go by, then reading in the afternoon, just what we needed. Hope I can keep the good sleep habits when I get home!

I really loved the Aoyama book. I kept telling everyone about it as I was reading it, usually a big sign I am loving a book.
