It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date
Hello everyone! I missed posting yesterday – we were helping my cousin to move as much as we could from his late parents condo to get it ready for selling. It was pretty emotional, as well as physically difficult – and hot! The A/C wasn’t working and I was melting. We got a lot done though.
Also – I am so behind on visiting blogs and commenting and responding here. It is a goal this week to catch up!
Moving on to books!
Read Last Week:
I am actually still reading Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop. It is a quiet, thoughtful read and I am taking my time. There is a lot to mull over while reading and is not necessarily a book you race through. Or at least I can’t. Primer and Punishment on the other hand was a fun fast read. I really enjoyed it and I just adore Sawdust the cat!
Reading This Week:
In addition to reading the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop, I am also reading Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers. I just started it last night before bed, but I was so wiped out I only got through a few pages before I needed to turn off the light and sleep. I have a feeling I am going to love it though. This is also a book from my fall TBR – I have dipped in before September, my own boundary line for fall content and fall things. I guess all these Augtober posts are getting to me and influencing me! And we are not that far away now so… I went for it.

Friday Morning Coffee Catch Up
Watching:
Not a whole lot right now. When we have time at the end of the night, we are watching The Great British Sewing Bee. We actually have caught up to the latest season! I found a Frog and Toad cartoon that looks so cute – Wyatt is not going to want to watch it with me now that he is at the advanced cool kid age of 9, but … too bad he is going to have to. It just looks so cute and I want to watch it, so he can watch it with me.
And that is it from me today! I hope you all are well!
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
Vera Wong is one of my favorite books. I remember reading it last summer. I can’t wait for the sequel to come out! Hope you love it as much as I do.

Why is it that it is always hot when moving occurs? I can understand how difficult it is when the weather is hot. Your book choices look good too. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

Ouch, the A/C wasn’t working? That’s a necessity, especially during a move.
Enjoy the Vera Wong, it looks fun.

I’ve got the third Aunties book to start soon, but I haven’t gotten to Vera Wong yet – looking forward to your thoughts 🙂
I’m also starting to feel the tug to shift to fall things – it feels like fall this morning, so that may be part of it 🙂

Oh my gosh I am loving Vera Wong so far. I read past my bedtime last night because I didn’t want to put the book down.
Today was so cool this morning – it is beginning to seem like fall! Unfortunately, the forecast has higher temps again soon. Darn!

I love a found family story so I really loved Vera Wong. There’s a sequel coming out next year and I’m so excited about it. I think you’d enjoy Diane Kelly’s other cozy series too – it also has a cat! Love the look of the bookshop book! Sometimes the quiet serious books are just what we need!
