Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a nice weekend! We celebrated my dad’s birthday today and it was the perfect weather for him – sunny and in the 80s!
Read Last Week:
It’s been a little rough around here lately; Wyatt has not been tolerating some of his epilepsy medicine very well and it has been rocky. This book was perfect for winding down with. It felt less fluffy than other cozies, and I loved Oliver the corgi. I want one so bad but our life is not conducive to a dog right now so I have to live vicariously through books and tv.
Reading This Week:
I started listening to this book last year and I enjoyed it so much that I decided I wanted to read the print version instead. I am super weird, I know. Then I never got to it. Well, Billy just listened to it and wants me to finish it so we can talk about it, which I am happy to do.
Posted Last Week:
Watching:
Billy and I have been watching When Calls the Heart – I still have lots of thoughts about this whole situation with Elizabeth. Hmmph. We are also watching the newest season of the Brokenwood Mysteries. It is such a good show.
And that is that from here today! I hope you are all doing something that makes you smile!
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
Oliver looks like a fine companion. I hope next week things are a bit better with Wyatt. Hang in.

And thank you Jeanie.

I realized tonight how much I like holding books. Sometimes a book just hits me differently if I can hold it instead of listen to it or read it on a Kindle. So I get needing to hold that book instead of just listen.

Yes! I love the experience of reading a physical book. I am so tactile.

I hope Wyatt has a better week. There is a difference between listening and reading. There are some books I prefer to hear and others I prefer to read with my eyes. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

Thank you Kathy. And there really is such a difference between listening to a story vs reading a story.

And thank you.

I’m sorry things have been rocky there. I have been reading lighter books lately to cope with the craziness of the world. Murder Barks Twice sounds delightful. I am in the mood for a mystery right now. Maybe I will be able to find it or one of the other mysteries folks have been recommending lately.

I think that is one reason I like to read fantasy and middle grade and magical realism. I need my books to have less reality. Some middle grades can be rough though lol, and I do think they have their place in helping kids to process big events and emotions. I try to avoid those though. LOL.
Murder Barks Twice was so cute. I definitely recommend it as an escape!

I’m so glad you found the right book for a rough week. That helps so much. Happy birthday to your dad! Looks like a gorgeous day! As someone who trains dogs for a living – trust me you don’t want a corgi. They’re bred to herd cattle so they are tenancious, stubborn, and bossy. They’re a lot of fun but they are rarely easy dogs to work with. I hope you’re having a great week!

Thank you Katherine! This nausea is awful!
And thank you!
I did not know you trained dogs for a living! And lol!!! I had no idea they were so temperamental! They do look pretty stubborn. They just have that look. They are just so darn cute! I wish we could get a dog but with Wyatt and his hospital visits it is just not feasible right now. We need pets that don’t necessarily need us to be around and someone can just run in and feed as needed. 😦 Maybe one day! I would really like another setter. We had an English Setter named Penny who was the biggest cuddlebug pushover in the house, but very active outdoors. Or a Golden. They are just so beautiful and sweet.
