Books, Screens, and In-Betweens

I am linking up with Deb at Readerbuzz, Kathryn at Book Date, and Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. (even though Monday mornings I usually forget. Someone remind me!)

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well! We have been in a whirl of activity. I vowed to take this month slowly but we seem to be doing even more. We will just keep on keeping on over here I guess. Taking it day by day. Tomorrow is my birthday, so today we are planning on doing something, and I am supposed to pick. I am not sure what to do though!

Books:

I finished up Legendary Frybread Drive-In and it was a fun read! I enjoyed having a short story or two to read at night before bed. And then I started, or tried to start 84 Charing Cross but the book I had gotten from the library was actually a play, that was adapted from the book! So I found it on audio and I am listening to it. I am almost done, and I have to be honest, I am really really enjoying the audio version. I also just started The Haunted Librarian, since I didn’t get to it the other week. I am enjoying it so far!

When I am done, I am planning on reading one of these. Or both depending on how quickly I get through Auralee Wallace’s book. And Penner’s.

Screens:

We haven’t been watching anything lately. We keep getting home too late, so we have mainly watched YouTubers here and there. I have been enjoying Rebecca’s Literary Wanderings for the most part.

I posted a few times last week as well.

Nonfiction November Week 2

Wednesday Morning Coffee Catch Up

Remember, 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! You can find the link up for November here!

In-Betweens:

The other day Wyatt and I had another afternoon of painting together. I usually keep Friday’s open for this sort of thing – for running errands or field trips or projects for school, that sort of thing. We spent the morning finishing up that week’s school stuff, and then painted in the afternoon. It was a very nice way to spend a few hours with Wyatt. And I am no artist at all, and I would never have even done anything like this before him. I would never have sat down to paint. My friend Pam said that “our kids can be our greatest teachers and sources of personal growth (if we let them ;))” and she is soo right!

I just do tutorials right now for the most part, from artists on Instagram like Andrea Nelson Art.

And that is it from me today! I hope that you all have a good day, and do something, even something small, that makes you happy!

    Happy Birthday! I hope you have a very special day. I’ve been watching YouTube a bit more recently too! Have a great week.

    Happy birthday! For some reason, I watch a bunch of painting tutorials on YouTube, but I’ve never actually painted anything. I guess I just like seeing art get made.

    Sounds like a good week even if it feels too busy. Happy birthday! I’d like to slow down the rest or the year because there is much to do yet.

    Hope you enjoy The Haunted Librarian! I liked the setting but it ended up just “okay” for me, but I definitely know plenty of people who’d love it, heh.

    And happy birthday!
