Hello everyone! I am linking up with Deb at Readerbuzz, Kathryn at Book Date, and Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
I have a little cold that I have been nursing my way through and spent the weekend being cozy and warm and watching movies. I fully intended to write my Soup and Story Saturday post last night, but I ate my soup, took a shower, crawled under the covers, and that was it. Game over. All productivity was lost after that.
So I am just combining it today, sort of, with this post.
First off, what I am reading. I didn’t do much reading last week, unfortunately. Before I got the ick from Billy and Wyatt, Wyatt and I finished up his book, The Celery Stalks at Midnight. I didn’t get a chance to grab my library book at all, and in fact, Billy ended up picking up my holds Friday night, with all the books I wanted to read in that stack. So I finally got to start the book I had been waiting for.

It is literally everything I need right now. I am reading slowly but I am really enjoying it. This series is such a light fluffy series and that is precisely why I like it.

Watching:
I spent a lot of time curled up watching shows with Wyatt, YouTube, movies. This is not usually me but I will say I am feeling pretty rested. Wyatt and I watched lots of Frog and Toad. He will watch them over and over, and we both really enjoyed the Christmas Eve episode a lot.
I have also been watching some Christmasy YouTubes. I have been watching Morgan Long’s Vlogmas, Shelby’s Cottage, and Real Vintage Dollhouse.
As for movies, we have watched Emmet Otter’s Jug- Band Christmas, Christmas at the Catnip Cafe (which was soo cheesy but I 100% loved it), Bramble House Christmas, and Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas. Tonight, we are going to watch another Hallmark Christmas movie. I am excited!
Soup and Story:

I won’t make this post super long with a story, but I was so grateful for this ramen last night. I absolutely love it. The restaurant is at the back of a gaming center, where people go to play tabletop games like DnD and Warhammer. It is pretty smart for them, because people will sit and play all day and they are probably just making so much money off the gamers which good for them. This food is amazing too. I could eat it everyday.
Around the Interwebs:
So I cohost a few different things with Lisa at Boondock Ramblings, although I have been doing poorly the past 10 days or so. I am just going to quote her here:
Lisa at Boondock Ramblings and I host a monthly bookish link party called A Good Book and A Cup of Tea. This link-up is for book and reading posts or anything related to books and reading (even movies based on books!). Each link party will be open for a month. You can find that link up for this month here.
We are also hosting Comfy Cozy Christmas! Anything holiday related – any December holiday – at all that strikes your fancy and you write about, please think about sharing on our linky. You can find the link for that at the top of my page in the menu or here.
We also will be starting Crafternoons back up in January and we hope to post the dates soon!
And that is it from me today! Stay safe and take care of yourselves my friends!
Oh my gosh the kids would love that gaming ramen place! We are looking for a place near us that makes food like that. I hope you are feeling better this next week. Sometimes laying low is just what our body needs.

I’m so sorry you are sick with a cold. I always seem to get sick right after Thanksgiving. Ugh.
I look forward to participating in all of the things you and Lisa are hosting when I settle down and stay home for a while!

I tried twice to leave a comment, but I couldn’t. I think something is up with WordPress because I’ve seen others comment on other blogs about it. Anyway, I hope you’re soon feeling better. I have never had ramen at a restaurant. I’m going to see if my grandson will go with me! We watched Charlie Brown last night. It’s my favorite. Did you know the only time Linus drops his blanket is when he says the words, “Fear not?” I love that.

It sounds like even though you have been sick (and I hope that is over soon!) you have managed to find cozy and productive times with the family, books and video. Keep on getting better!

I’m sorry you have been under the weather. It’s such a hard time of year to get sick with so much that needs to be done. Glad you are getting some good rest and hope you feel better soon.

Hope you’re feeling better soon. Thanks for the Christmasy YouTubes. That might be just what I’m looking for. I seem to have overdone it on the holiday rom-coms!

Yes! Christmas at the Catnip Cafe was so fun! I watched it while trying to finish a baby blanket for a friend, and it was the perfect thing. Reminded me a lot of the Codi Hall book (Cat Cafe Christmas), but the author said on instagram the movie is NOT based on her book. 🙂
I’m very much looking forward to getting around to reading the Penner books!

Lol I loved it! We have watched Christmas at the Catnip Cafe, A Bramble House Christmas, Tis the Season to be Irish, and The Christmas Cottage so far. Lol. The Catnip Cafe was a good one. Hard to pick a favorite!
I really enjoy the Penner books. They are just so easy and relaxing.
