Hello everyone!! It is snowing here! Our first snow of the year! I always feel like it is my personal gift from Mother Nature when it is around my birthday, which is next week. I am very Lorelai Gilmore about snow, especially the first snow. Tonight I am going to make soup and if I can, I am going to try to make cinnamon rolls for the first time as well.
What I Read Last Week:
This book was the perfect pick me up, full of cozy moments, snow, soup, and winged cats. I loved it!
Reading This Week:
I had started Shady Hollow when I finished The Enchanted Greenhouse, so I am reading that, but I also want to read A Land so Wide.
Posted Last Week:
Good Book and a Cup of Tea Monthly Link Party
Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Randomly Grabbed Off the Shelf
Introducing Soup and Story Saturdays
Comfy Cozy Cinema: The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain
Friday Morning Coffee Catch Up
Watching:
Billy and I must be craving cozy, because we have started our umpteenth rewatch of the BBC farm shows. We just finished up Victorian Farm again, and will probably move on to Edwardian Farm next. The hold these shows have on us! Lol. I am not the only one though. I found this reel on Instagram and it made me giggle. I even commented about how we love to watch this show, blah blah, and a bunch of people liked my comment, probably because they are the same!

Tonight we are watching the last movie in our Comfy Cozy Cinema line up, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry. Then after American Thanksgiving, we will begin our Comfy Cozy Christmas link party where you can all feel free to spread the holiday cheer, all winter holidays in December btw, not just Christmas, by linking up your holiday posts! With the snow today, I can feel the winter holiday season so clearly now!
Internet Happenings:
I’ve already talked about them all a little, but Lisa and I are hosting Comfy Cozy Cinema, then Comfy Cozy Christmas together. We are also co-hosting A Good Book and a Cup of Tea, which is a monthly book linky for anything book related. And finally, I am introducing my new Soup and Story Saturdays. It is, you guessed it, all about soup! Link your posts about a soup you made or have eaten, a recipe if you made it, and either a bit about the book you are reading, or a story you want to tell us about your own life. Pretend we are at dinner together, having a meal and sharing a tale. Because I want to be a hobbit with you guys.
I also just signed up for the Library Love 2025 Challenge – I guess better late than never. I will be watching for next year’s sign up now though, if it continues. 99% of our reads come from the library and I believe wholeheartedly in supporting your local library!
And that is it from me today! I hope that whatever you do, you do something that makes you smile!
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
We got out first snow last night too. It was a surprise! Everything looks pretty and clean and white!

I get a lot of books from the library as well. I don’t know that I have done the library challenge, I probably thought I didn’t need to do the challenge since I already support the library. Have a great week.

So… I’m guessing you’re used to getting snow at this time? We are still having temps in the high 50s – which is ridiculously mild for the time of year – but if we get snow, it’s normally from late December, or January/February. That said, as we live on the south coast, it’s rare to get significant snowfall. Glad you enjoy it – I’m sure you are properly set up for it and have a great week.

Lol yeah. I always considered it a present from Mother nature when we would get snow for my birthday, or around my birthday. We have even had it in October before. The weather never stays cold and warms back up a little again before actual winter sets in though.

That’s a relief – it would be an awfully long winter if the snow hung around till March/April time!

I just finished Grady Hendrix’ book, Witchcraft for Wayward Girls, and we’re watching Orphan Black. Sometimes, they kinda blend together! We really need to watch (and read) easier things. I do watch the Great Pottery Thrown Down after Mike goes to sleep.
Have a wonderful week! It’s snowing here!

What did you think of that one? I haven’t read that one yet and I usually love his books. The Great Pottery Throw Down is such a good stress reliever! That is what you should do Marsha! Find a pottery class!

It was good. It wasn’t as gory or as supernatural as his others, but it has a definite message…if you read the afterword and such.

My November has started slowly and so far nothing has changed. I have problems concentrating on books or movies, so it’s mostly mindless watching stuff at the moment that I don’t regret to have missed if I keep falling asleep! I guess I’m ready for hibernation 😉
Soup breaks would be nice, though.

I do that too sometimes. When Billy and I have long days or hard days we opt for that too, and end up watching old favorites like the farm shows. I am definitely read for hibernation and I am not sure why people keep expecting me to leave the house. I just checked a book out from the library, Goblin Mode, and it is me to a t.
And soup breaks are always nice. 😉

Hurray for the first snow of the year! I’m pretty sure my son and his family in Chicago also were treated to snow.
The Enchanted Greenhouse looks delightful.

The Enchanted Greenhouse was such a cozy little read.

Contrary to what the rest of the world thinks we don’t normally get a lot of snow in Vancouver (unlike the rest of Canada). I don’t mind a little snow as long as the roads can stay bear. The Enchanted Greenhouse looks like a lot of fun.

Yes, isn’t that from the ocean currents or something? I read you are a different climate type than most people think. The Enchanged Greenhouse was so good! I loved it!
And I am the same with snow. I love snow when I don’t have to drive in it too much.

Cozy sounds good but not the snow. It’s pretty but people freak out here. I’m used to it from Iowa and Minnesota. We get 1-2 days per year and it melts the next day. Welcome to the Library Love! Glad to have you.

Thanks Anne! Our area of Michigan can be hit or miss with snow, so I always get excited. People forget how to drive though for some reason – they act like they have never seen snow before. Lol.
