Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great week last week! I spent my week prepping for the start of the school year and trying to grab some fun times as well. It was a pretty good week!

Read Last Week:

This book was amazing. It kept me on the edge of my seat, never knowing which way the story was going to shift next. It had some folk horror vibes, which is one my favorite genres, and is perfect for this time of year – the end of summer heading into fall. I have only read two of Foley’s books but I need to read more. After reading this, I actually couldn’t read another book right after. Total book hangover! I do have some lined up though, which I think are just right for this time of year as well, as the summer comes to a close.

Reading Next Week:

Billy has a procedure Tuesday and I will be spending some time in the hospital waiting room, probably reading one of these two books. Or embroidering, because I can do that when I am anxious and I can’t usually read. So I guess I am just bringing everything with me!

Posted Last Week:

Top Ten Tuesday – Who Am I?

Thursday Morning Coffee Catch Up

Last Day of August – A Short Look Back at Summer

Watching:

Well, Billy and I finally finished all of the British Sewing Bee! We managed to finish just in time for fall. This week we watched the American version of Ghosts (we finished all of the UK version), and then last night we watched Scream. I loved that movie when it came out in the 90s – and I still love it. I had such a crush on Skeet Ulrich back then! Billy and I decided that aside from a few things that were a bit cringe ( I mean it is a horror movie so some is to be expected, but other storylines didn’t need to be there) this movie held up pretty well! I also had fun remembering all the 90s fashion! That shiny glossy lipstick look, the hair, the outfits, they took me back.

We also finished just in time for Comfy Cozy Cinema! Lisa from Boondock Ramblings and I started this last year and we welcome anyone to watch and post along with us. I will be watching the first movie on my list tonight, and we will be posting our thoughts on the movie on Thursday. Feel free to join us! In mid-September we are having a giveaway as well, for a Comfy Cozy Care Package, so check back around then to enter!

And that is it from my overly humid corner of Michigan – I wish you all a wonderful week!

    1. My mind just won’t focus on the book try as I might. Lol. Embroidery forces me to focus and keeps my mind and hands busy. I stitched away yesterday and may have created a few new stitchers in the process. I am looking forward to starting Every Time I Go On Vacation.

  4. I’m not a person for RIP at this time of the year—too scary for me!—so maybe I should try to join in for your Cozy Movies. That’s more me.

    Hope Billy does well during his procedure. Things like this always make me nervous.

    I’m glad you enjoyed the Lucy Foley book!

    1. Thanks Deb! I was so anxious over it but it went well. We had the best outcome! It was a long day but it was good.

      Comfy Cozy is more my speed these days, over gore and horror. (although I do read horror still, I can’t watch it!) We would love to have you join in!

    I’ve been keeping my eye out for Every Time I Go On Vacation… but I haven’t found it anywhere around me yet (and yes, I know I could order it but I really drag my feet over buying books since I read them so fast). But I loved The Midnight Feast. I’ve only read/listened to a few other Foley books– The Hunting Party, The Paris Apartment & The Guest List and I enjoyed them all.

    1. I don’t like to buy books much either. I am definitely a library patron for life! If I am not going to read the book over again then I am not going to buy it.

      I loved The Midnight Feast! It was so good! I also liked The Hunting Party. I should read her other books too.

    I hope Billy’s procedure goes well. I used to be able to escape into books, but now they seem harder to read. I knit or crochet when I’m stressed. I’m not sure if we finished all the seasons of the British Ghosts, but I know we started the American version and decided it was too close to the British one. Maybe we should just watch it anyway…nice and easy watches. I’m not one for scary movies of any kind…except the old black and white ones. They weren’t as realistic, I guess.

    I hope you have a fabulous week, Erin! Prayers for Billy…

    1. Thank you Marsha! We had the best possible outcome so we are happy. It was a long day though and we were exhausted!

      Yes! I used to be able to read when I was nervous – now though, my mind bounces all over. I need to be able to move my body in some way when I am anxious and keep my mind busy – embroidery is perfect. I stitched while waiting and the nurses were all complimentary lol. A few of them mentioned they were going to try it too!

      There were a lot of overlaps for British and American but we did it anyway. Lol. They are good for when you need something relaxing and easy.

      I used to watch all the gory scary movies – now I can’t handle them at all!

      Thanks Marsha!
