Books, Screens, and In-Betweens

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

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well! I had a crazy week last week and I think I want to use today to recover. It was just busy. Luckily, it might rain today and if it rains I am definitely declaring today a relax day.

Books:

I’ve been having a hard time settling down with a book lately. I tried a few different books last week and nothing was working so I went back to a series that I knew worked.

This series is just a lot of fun. I like Marlee and her feisty demeanor, and I love the setting. This one was also full of messy relationships and drama and I just really enjoyed it. It is the third book in the Berry Basket series.

This week. I have no idea. I have a few I am thinking about, but I might just wander the library tomorrow and pick something out that calls to me.

My ideas:

I am reading The Smallest of Joys already, just a little bit at a time. I am really loving it’s gentleness, which seems funny when juxtaposed next to those other books. I guess I need a little of everything right now.

Screens:

Billy and I are watching The Artful Dodger most nights, and when we don’t feel like like watching that we are catching up on Murdoch. Murdoch is just an easy show to watch, and is usually entertaining. We are still continuing on our quest to show Wyatt the movies we grew up watching, and tonight we are watching Camp Nowhere. I don’t think I have ever watched that one, so it will be new to me as well!

Last week I posted:

Top Ten Tuesday: Books that Live In My Head Rent Free

Wednesday Morning Coffee Catch Up

Book Recommendations Based on Nostalgic Movies of the 80s and 90s

I am cohosts with Lisa at Boondock Ramblings and Cat at Cat’s Wire, of the linkup A Good Book and a Cup of Tea for all things books -not just books read or reviews, but bookstore visits or author visits or whatever else bookish you can think of!

Here is the link for July’s link up!

In-Betweens:

Yesterday we had a day of small projects, where we worked on some of the little things that we have been intending to do around the house. We worked on the new crested gecko tanks, which are really plant cabinets that Billy is converting to be crested gecko friendly. We have one done converted, one to go! Then we also started our gallery wall in the bedroom, of our artwork and needlework. Max got in on the job too – well, actually all of the jobs!

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

  1. I hope you get rain and even if you don’t , go ahead and declare it a Relax Day. It’s been brutally hot here…so I am in reading…and napping.

  2. I had so many plans of things to get done while I was home on summer break, and just realized I have one week left and didn’t get half of them done. :-(. Oh well. I’m going to try to use my Mondays off now that I am in a district with 4 day weeks to get things done maybe? Oh well. Hope you are finding more fun movies to watch with Wyatt. We had a little rain last week but lots of heat before and after.

    1. Lol that allows happens! I had a ton I wanted to get done this summer, but, I managed to get to a small fraction. Lol. Oh well I guess.

      We are having a great time with our movies this summer. We haven’t had rain for a while! Just heat and then the smoke, which has thankfully cleared.
