I am linking up with Deb at Readerbuzz,  Kathryn at Book Date, and  Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. We had a full week but it was a fun one. We have one more obligation today and then we are all coming home and putting on comfy clothes and decompressing. Lol.

Books:

It was a good week, but I barely had any time to read. I did finish Watership Down for my yearly reread, and I am partway through An Escape Goat.

I loved my journey with the rabbits of Watership Down, as always. And I am loving Zen Goat way more than I thought I was going to! I am definitely going to be seeking out the rest in the series.

This week I am reading more barnyard books. Lol.

Screens:

It was a super busy week, so we did not really watch anything. I did watch a few YouTuber channels here and there though, and I have a few new favorites that I am watching lately.

Rebecca at Literary Wanderings has become a regular watch for. I am really enjoying her vintage sleuths series of videos – and of course had to share them with Lisa at Boondock Ramblings of course, with her love of Nancy Drew!

Rebecca is also the channel where I learned about Gladys Taber last winter. She has some great recommendations and information, especially about older books.

I also enjoy watching Shelby’s Cottage. She only produces a video maybe once a month, but they are always really well done. I love her slow living ways. I can’t reproduce her routines at my house, but it is nice to pull maybe a little suggestion out that is manageable. I also find it interesting that I am drawn to YouTube channels where the person is an artist as their occupation, a painter or designer or illustrator. I have a type! Lol.

Last week I did manage to post a lot!

Books With Disability Representation – this has evolved into a passion project. I am either creating a website or a page that will be a searchable database of books that have disability representation. I have a feeling it is going to take a while but it will be worth it!

Book Review: Raising Hare

In-Betweens:

We celebrated Independent Bookstore Day! We popped into two of our local bookstores, and picked up a few books. One had a few other vendors there as well, including a sourdough bakery, so we also purchased a loaf of rosemary sourdough and some sourdough sugar cookies which were phenomenal. This was our haul. I tried to support independent authors (Pattern of Betrayal) and local authors (The Busiest Place You Know). I got Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead as a free ARC from making a purchase at one of the stores. It has a crazy title but I have heard really good things about it.

We also celebrated my mom’s 79th birthday! We all went over and had ice cream and hung out and told stories.

And with that everyone, I will say goodbye for now. I hope that whatever you do today, you do something that makes you smile!

And just a reminder:

Lisa of 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.
