The Sunday Post/It's Monday! What Are You Reading?



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


We decorated for Halloween - my favorite! And wow, for being my favorite holiday I have like 4 things to decorate with. Lol. I'm going to try my hand at a few super easy crafts this month. Lol. I am not a great crafter but I always try. I am on the hunt for a chestnut tree; I want to gather a bunch for a project. My brother has a giant oak tree, so I have a source for acorns, and I plan to fill up a bag with them today. I also bought some orange yarn - I saw a Pinterest post for an easy craft for kids, but I am going to try it myself. :) Lol. I'll post pictures if I manage to do it. Or maybe even if I can't.

This week we don't have much on the schedule - next week however, is a nightmare. I am looking forward to the 7th though - I am going to Saugatuck for the day with a few friends for some shopping, a drink or two, and some time away. 

Read Last Week:

  

This book was excellent! Review very soon. 

I had planned to read the new Alice Hoffman, but somehow I picked up Harry Potter....lol. I have been wanting to reread that series and I guess it was time I did. I am enjoying it just as much as I did the first time!


Reading This Week:


And probably finishing up Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. 

Watching:

Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries, American Gods (so good!), and we finished up Midnight, Texas.  And it's officially October, so it's game on for scary movies! (although we have watched Curious George Boofest quite often...)



How are you all doing? What's going on in your world?

  1. I have one pumpkin on my table. I think that counts for decorating.

    Halloween is my favorite though. I love wearing costumes!

    1. Halloween is the best! I am super excited about Saturday! It will be really pretty I think. And I am looking forward to wine - I mean, spending the day shopping. Lol.

      They are both really good - American Gods is actually spectacular. I mean it. I think you would love it. I can't wait for Riverdale!

    1. I kind of want to reread them too. I think she was only writing it as a trilogy too, right? I wonder now if she will keep writing.

  5. Love that pumpkin! I have only a handful of Fall decorations; some I use for both Halloween and Thanksgiving.

    I have Rules of Magic up next on my ARCs stack.

    Enjoy the week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

    1. I have realized I need a bit more. It was fine when it was just the husband and I. I want to liven it up a bit for Wyatt though. Make it magical! :)

  7. So you're going to plant a chestnut tree on your property? There is an acorn tree on the block across and on the other side of ours. I saw whole acorns for the first time one year. I was so surprised because in the city, we just see the acorn tops. I'm really curious about that Witches of New York book. I may look for that at the bookstore.

      It was really good Stefanie. I hope to review it next week!

  9. Witches of New York sounds good. Goodreads says there is another book by the same title, published in 1859. Come see what I'm reading

  10. I'm way ahead on my reading goal for the year so I'm thinking of re-reading All Souls Trilogy, but your mentioning Harry Potter makes me want to re-read it too. I have a few books due for review soon then maybe I'll spend the end of the year re-reading favorites. Girl Who Reads

    1. Sometimes books are so good they need a reread! All Souls and HP are both in that category! And congrats on your goal!

I love hearing from people, don't be shy! I would love to hear what you think! I always reply back, although it takes me a bit longer these days due to the little guy.
