Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well, and that if you celebrate Thanksgiving, you have a good one, no matter what you do.

I haven’t been reading much lately. I don’t know what is going on, but I am in a bit of a slump which stinks because I have so many new books and I love them and I am excited to read them all. I just can’t sit still these days. Maybe after the holiday I will settle down.

I did read one book, just a little one.

I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this one. I am not really a sci-fi person, but if there was a book that was cozy sci-fi, it is this one. I found myself imagining the roads that Sibling Dex and Mosscap were taking, the slow days, the conversations and the tea, and I just fell in love with this book. It was different, it was thought-provoking, it was gentle, and it made me smile.

A few short quotes from a book that I saved so many from:

“No matter what I’m wonderful.”

“We don’t have to fall into the same category to be of equal value.”

This slim book is so filled with goodness. Even if this is not usually your jam, I say give it a whirl.

Reading This Week:

I picked this up over the weekend and immediately fell in love with it. Maybe my slump is over? Wyatt and I are having a whole week of hygge this week – no real school, just reading and art and baking, and this book seemed perfect for those curl up and read moments ahead.

Watching:

We are all finished with Comfy Cozy Cinema and it feels weird to not have a Sunday movie all ready to go. Besides that, we are watching The Spiderwick Chronicles that star none other than my teenage celebrity crush, Christian Slater. I loved him so much as a teen. Lol. I can still probably quote Heathers and Pump Up the Volume. And, I have to say, as an adult maybe I still have a bit of a crush on adult him.

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

  6. I said the same thing about not having a movie to watch for Comfy, Cozy Cinema this week. It feels weird! I’ll have to figure out something else to watch I suppose.

    Looking forward to a Hygge week too, thanks to your mentioning you were doing one!

    1. It was really good. It is short too, so I think that helped. The world building was sort of minimal, and I have to admit I was sort of confused about some of it. There just wasn’t a lot of detail, but I think that is also why I liked it, it wasn’t overly sci-fi, if that makes sense. It focused very narrowly on two characters and it was very well-done.

      Thanks, you too!

  10. My plan was for a lighter week this upcoming week, my reality is a different story, but hopefully will still be good. I hope you all enjoy your lighter week, you find yourself over your reading slump, and have a fabulous Thanksgiving.

    Yeah I didn’t finish a book this week – so perhaps I’m in a reading slump as well … but I’m midway into one, so this week will be better! Good luck with your reading & Happy Thanksgiving.

    A hygge week sounds like a good week to me! I’m looking forward to one of those someday! I’m so contrary, though. I like to stay home with nothing to do, but then I’m bored with staying home with nothing to do. This week will be a busy one…Mike’s p/t appointments, getting ready for Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving, then Black Friday shopping.

    I’m still in my reading slump and am only halfway through the Emily Henry book it seems I’ve been reading forever. We have been watching The Fall of the House of Usher which makes me want to reread Poe’s short stories. I think I have a book of them here.

    Have a wonderful hygge week!

    1. Lol!! I love being home and working on all of our projects. We always have a bunch of different things going on at home. But I do definitely like to go out and do things as well. That is definitely a busy week! I do my black friday shopping online. Billy is our big Black Friday shopper. He used to go with my SIL and her mom every year while my brother and I would go to breakfast. Lol.

      Ugh when that happens to me I have to pick up another book. Otherwise I begin to look at reading as a job. And thank you for reminding me about that show! I wanted to watch it and forgot about it!

      Thank you Marsha, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
