Check out the The Caffeinated Book Review for the Sunday Post!
It's Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date!
My family is very firmly Irish, both sides, and this year we celebrated a more family style version of St. Patrick's Day. My brother invited us over for dinner, and it was more about kid wrangling than anything else. Needless to say, it was a great time. I had been playing the Irish Rovers all day for Wyatt, and apparently, my brother had been playing them for his daughter as well. I grew up on their lively songs, and remember my mom dancing around the living room holding me when I was Wyatt's age, spinning and singing ~ maybe Wyatt will have the same memories with me.
I love gardening, and I am feeling the itch to start planting! Michigan is not cooperating though. I am starting some seeds this week, and I have begun a new obsession with buying indoor plants. We will see how that goes, since I usually am terrible about houseplants. So far so good!
Read Last Week:
Confessions of a Domestic Failure by Bunmi Laditan: This book was hilarious, laugh out loud funny in parts. I very much enjoyed this read! Review soon.
Serenity Harbor by RaeAnne Thayne: I was so excited to get this in the mail for review this week! It was a great surprise - I love the Haven Point books, and this one is maybe my favorite so far.
Reading This Week:
How to Hygge: The Nordic Secrets to a Happy Life: I am really looking forward to starting this book!
Ravencliffe by Carol Goodman: It's taken me some time to get to this second book in the series by Goodman, but I am in the mood for this kind of read this week.
Watching:
The Crown (so good!), Riverdale, Bones, Supernatural, Schitt's Creek ( I love Eugene Levy!), Big Little Lies
I have enjoyed RaeAnne Thayne and Carol Goodman books...and I am curious about How to Hygge.
ReplyDeleteI loved The Crown, too...can't wait for more seasons! I am also loving Big Little Lies and The Good Fight (streaming on CBS: All Access).
Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I had no idea Big Little Lies was a book until recently! I need to read it. And it seems I need to check out The Good Fight too!
DeleteThe Crown - so amazing. I am glad to hear there are more seasons in the future!
Yeah, Michigan is definitely not cooperating. Hopefully this slightly warmer weather is here to stay, now that it's officially spring!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!! I am ready for some outdoor walks with the boy! :)
DeleteOoh, I added that Goodman series to my TBR. Your St. Patty's Day celebration sounds so fun! I wanna come. What a fun memory you have of you and your mum twirling about to lively music.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking, my son will have that memory too, of dancing with my mom, to the same music. Wyatt is my little "Hawairish" boy, I tell him. Lol.
DeleteConfessions of a Domestic Failure looks and sounds fun, I need to look it up and find out more about it!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was so entertaining!! I got a copy through NetGalley. :)
DeleteFrom your TV list, the only one I'm following is Supernatural. I'm also watching Once Upon a Time, Murdoch Mysteries, and a whole bunch of anime and cartoons.
ReplyDeleteI'm joining up in the fun again and I'm hoping you'll stop by to my new domain.
It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
My hubs in really into anime too! I am such a fan of Supernatural!!
DeleteI'm keen to get into watching The crown and Big Little Lies, I can't seem to draw myself away from my book at the moment though!
ReplyDeleteConfessions of a domestic failure has a fantastic title! Its got me intrigued now!
Amanda @ Mrs B's Book Reviews
Oo it's always good when a book has you hooked!!
DeleteIt was very good and entertaining - I was in the mood for a fun book like it.
I'm quite obsessed with happiness, so hygge is always on my list of themes to read about. Thanks for sharing this new-to-me book.

It's such a great concept. I feel like I am always frittering away time on things I "need" to do, and I need to find balance. Hopefully hygge helps! :)
DeleteThese authors are all new to me. Sounds like your St. Patrick's Day was a lot of fun. I'm only 1/8 Irish but enjoy the holiday too. Come see my reading week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time! :)
DeleteI love Riverdale! How are you liking it?

I love it!! I wasn't sure at first if I would, but I was completely hooked after the first episode.
DeleteMichigan needs to get it together weather- wise lol! I hope you like Ravencliffe, it was a disappointment for me after Blythewood but that might just be me. And Riverdale!
ReplyDeleteI am having a hard time getting into it, actually. I feel better knowing it is not just me. I am going to keep trying a bit more, than give up. :(
