It's Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date
This week we celebrated Wyatt's first birthday! My husband took Wyatt's actual birthday off from work, and we did some fun family things that day, just really low key the three of us. Then Saturday we had his first birthday party with his family! It was a big undertaking that we survived with the help of that family! His birthday is actually on National Reading Day, Dr. Seuss' birthday, which is a great person to share a birthday with. I hope to blog about what we did later on this week, especially since I am on spring break from school this week. Yay!
We also had book club on Thursday, which as always is super fun.
Read Last Week:
Neanderthal Seeks Human by Penny Reid: I am so close to being done with this book, I'm calling it! I really enjoyed it - I needed a fun read during my crazy week.
Reading This Week:
I think I have spring fever! It's time for some fun reads. The weather this week is supposed to be in the 50s and 60s, I can't wait to get outdoors with Wyatt. I think these books will be perfect for my lighthearted mood!
Once a Rancher: I have not really read anything by this author but I am looking forward to seeing what she is about.
Best of my Love by Susan Mallery: I am excited to read another in the Fool's Gold series!
I am also still working away on Oregon Trail by Rinker Buck!
However, I could not get into Pretty Baby, and I am sticking a fork in that book.
Watching:
The Walking Dead (woohoo!), The Originals, The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, iZombie
Speaking of watching - The Agatha Christie book And Then There Were None miniseries is going to be airing on Lifetime on March 13th and March 14th! I highly recommend it!
I loved And Then There Were None - the book. I'm hoping the miniseries will pop up here, too. Have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteThe book was so good! It was my first book of the year this year, and the first Christie I have ever read. I really liked it!
DeleteHappy birthday to the little guy!! Glad it was a good week. TWD is getting good (I'm actually liking this season a lot) and did you hear Wayward Pines is coming back? Woo! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I feel like TWD just gets better and better. The characters are really well done I think, and I it becomes less and less about zombies and more about people..very interesting commentary.
DeleteI didn't!! That is awesome! I am looking forward to it, I didn't like that ending at all.
Happy Birthday to the quixotic Wyatt Atticus!
ReplyDeleteAnd sharing your birthday with Dr. Seuss and National Reading Day... it was written in the stars for your son, lol. I'm sure the party was tiring but great fun for all.
I also DNF'd a book this week-- just too much graphic stuff. I don't mind murders in a crime fiction book, they're fiction after all, but I don't need to hear about brutal murders that take two hours and leave the body mutilated. Ugh! It was almost enough to stop me cold in my reading this week and not pick up a book. Bummed me out to stop my fave book spree I was having this month, oh well.
I look forward to And Then There Were None and we all need some light, fun reads sometimes. Spring has almost sprung!
Thanks Rita!!! I know right? How awesome! :) The party was exhausting but we had a great time. :)
DeleteUgh, I have read stuff like that and had to put it down too. There is a limit of what I can take, even fictional, in a book. It can be so disturbing. If something gets too intense for me, it can stop me from reading as well. It's almost like you are traumatized!
Yes, and I am so excited!
Happy Birthday to Wyatt... hard to believe he is one already!! Thanks for mentioning An Then There Were None. I loved the book and will be sure to check our listings.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I know. This year flew by!! And thank you!
DeleteI need to read more Christie I think. I really liked enjoyed And Then There Were None, but it is the only one I have read!
I used to read a lot of Linda Lael Miller but haven't been keeping up with her books the last few years. It sounds like you had a busy but happy week. Happy birthday, Wyatt. Here is what I read this past week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIt was! What a great way to say it - busy but happy. :)
DeleteThanks!
Aw Happy Birthday Wyatt! My LO is 4 months old. I know that first year just flew by didn't it? Glad you guys got to do some fun stuff together. Hope you have a great week!

Aw thanks!!
DeleteOh my gosh!!!! 4 months! Time really flies, it is so crazy. I never believed people about it passing by so fast, but its definitely true.
Thanks Sandy!
I can't wait to see Wyatt's partay. Glad you three had some QT on Dr. Suess's birthday before the big to-do. Sorry you had a DNF. I LOL'd at your fork statement.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to have some quiet family time before the party explosion on Saturday. I am a bird nerd and I plan on making Wyatt one too - strangely, I think birds are drawn to him. When I was pregnant with him I saw three very rare birds, and Blue Jays seem to be around us in flocks since he has been born. Maybe he has an affinity. :)
DeleteLol thanks! Yeah, I just could not get into that book! It has to be the weather or my mood, because it seems like one I would really enjoy. Maybe I will give it a whirl again this fall.
Looks like some good books.
ReplyDeleteI hope your week has been good.
