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

Hello everyone! I hope that you are doing well today! It looks like today is going to be a beautiful day for Father’s Day here. I am not quite sure what we are going to do, but we will do something.

Books:

So, I read Yesteryear and I am still processing it. It was a lot! I am still not even sure if I enjoyed it yet. It was very heavy and intense, and made me sad. I ended up reading The Last Resort afterwards to scrub my brain out afterwards, and it was a good choice. Review for Yesteryear coming soon. I may end up doing a spoiler video on YouTube to go with it, because I have things to say but I don’t want to put them in my review.

This week I am not sure what I am reading. I have two I am thinking about though. Maybe I will start with How to Survive Camping and move on to The Growing Summer.

Screens:

We finished up Widow’s Bay which was awesome. I was so bummed when we ran out of episodes!! We have moved on to Murder Most Puzzling, which I learned about from Lisa at Boondock Ramblings. We watched the first episode and really enjoyed it!

I mentioned that we are watching old fun movies from the 80s and 90s with Wyatt, and last Sunday we watched The Sandlot. It was so good. It is such an iconic summer movie. Billy said that was almost identical to how his summers were as a kid though, just hopping on his bike and running around town with his buddies all day long.

And who can forget this line? I say it at least once a day, still. Lol.

I didn’t post very much last week.

Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Wishlist – Thank you to the two bloggers, Nicky @ The Bibliphibian and Carrie at Reading is My Superpower, who were so generous and gifted me books! That was so very nice of you and made my week!

Thursday Morning Coffee Catch Up

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.. Recently Cat at Cat’s Wire joined up with us as a co-host as well! 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.

In-Betweens:

Yesterday we went on our first picnic of the summer! This was something we started during lockdown and the pandemic, and it has become just something we do now. We found a great spot at the park, which even on the hottest summer days is cool under the shade of the trees. We usually draw or color or paint and then one of us will decide we need to lay down for a bit because it is so relaxing. Then eventually the rest of us lie down too and just watch the leaves flutter in the wind and the sunlight play across the ground, while the birds sing. It is just so peaceful.

And I think that is all from me today! I hope that whatever you do today, you do something that makes you smile!
