Hello everyone! It’s been slow around here, which was fine by me. I hope though that everyone who had to face down Helene has minimal damage. She was fierce looking.

Read Last Week:

Last week I read The Girl in White which was actually a little spooky for a kids book! This one was spookier than the other I have read by Currie, What Lives in the Woods. It was a good read for the season (without actually being too scary).

I also started Twilight Garden on Friday morning. I had forgotten I wanted to read this until I saw it on Rebecca’s TBR! Darn it. My TBR is just too crazy. Like everyone’s is, I am sure. Lol.

Reading This Week:

I will finish up The Twilight Garden, and then start another from my list. Right now I am not sure which direction I will pivot, but I feel I am leaning towards light and easy. Perhaps Berries and Bones, it look so deliciously fall. I also plan on starting The Whisperwicks, which is my book club book for the Patreon group I am part of for Alexandra Roselyn.

We are going away this weekend and so I hope to have some good reading time. It’s like that old saying though, “No one is more optimistic than a mother who takes books on the family vacation”.

I am also listening to an audiobook while I embroider. Right now I am listening to The Pumpkin Spice Cafe to see what all the hype is about. It has been compared to Stars Hollow and the Gilmore Girls which I love and have watched a million times over – and unpopular opinion coming, but I am not too excited about this book so far. It is too much like Gilmore Girls. I haven’t listened to much but it seems more like it is really just Lorelai Gilmore all over but this time she runs a cafe. The character talks a lot and talks fast, she drinks a lot of coffee – I don’t know. I guess I wanted the feel and or even a reimagining, but this is too on the nose. Does that make sense?

Comfy Cozy Cinema: Ladies in Lavender

Friday Morning Coffee Catch Up

Watching:

We are busily watching our Comfy Cozy Cinema movies; last week was Ladies in Lavender, and tonight’s feature is Kiki’s Delivery Service. Comfy Cozy Cinema is something Lisa from Boondock Ramblings and I started together and every year is so much fun! You are all invited to watch and post along with us.

Billy and I are also watching What We Do in the Shadows, as well as The Great Pottery Throwdown.

Also – I wanted to add that Lisa and I will be posting about our Comfy Cozy Care Package giveaway on Wednesday! We have lots of goodies we will be sending to someone to get all cozy with this fall!

And that is about it from here! I hope you are all doing well!

  2. I load up with books before I take a trip, and I end up reading one or two. But that’s okay, I think.

    The Pumpkin Spice Cafe sounds promising, but the author’s name strikes me as a pen name. I found a copy of the movie for this week…now if I can just find time to watch it! lol

    1. It definitely is ok! I am taking three books and I will probably read like 2 chapters but that is ok. Lol.

      So, I am liking the PSC much better now. I have banished Gilmore Girls from my brain and it is a cute story. The author’s name is a pen name!

      I hope you like it!

    I snagged a copy of the Pumpkin Spice Cafe a couple of weeks ago on a 99p sale. I haven’t watched the Gilmore Girls so I’m sure any similarities are something that I’ll be oblivious to!

    1. Thanks Marsha!! We leave tomorrow morning and I am so excited! I can’t read in the car sadly. I get sick. I used to be able to read in the car though, and I miss it now. Not that Billy or Wyatt would probably let me anyway these days. Lol. It’s not a bad drive though to where we are going, just 2.5 hours.

      I loved The Berry Pickers although I sobbed through it. My mom was in some ways a lot like the mom in it, aside from the big main thing about the mom.

  11. Lol! I love that you’re being optimistic and I truly hope it pays off and you get to read some! I wasn’t very interested in reading The Pumpkin Spice Cafe but you’ve piqued my curiosity. I want to read it just to see how it compares even though it doesn’t sound like you’re liking it very much.

  13. Have a lovely trip! I’ve got The Twilight Garden TBR – I loved her first one then found this existed so got it then there it sits. We’re going away this month and I will have a week of downtime and, frankly, Covid recovery, so I think I’ll get through a nice lot of my NetGalley reads and might even get on to some like this that are just non-NetGalley. I always seem to be rushing through those and ignoring the rest!

    1. The Twilight Garden is very good. I am enjoying it a great deal!

      I hope that you are feeling better now. I know you tested negative (yay!!) the other day but I know that it can take some time to feel like yourself again. I hope you have some good recovery time on your trip!
