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 had a great week, celebrating Wyatt's birthday! The weather was just nice enough for us to spend a little time at the zoo, seeing some of our favorites (the river otters and penguins!) and celebrating with our family. We are lucky to have such a loving family close by.
And his cake was so good! Omg. The bakery did an amazing job decorating the cake, and the cake itself was delicious! Wyatt loves vanilla and cherry, so we ordered vanilla batter with cherry jam filling and it was fantastic. There was not one piece left!
Read Last Week:
Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson: I feel like I am having a great reading year! Not necessarily in quantity, but definitely in the level of enjoyment from what I have read. I completely devoured this book! I even got up super early, like 530-6, and read for 3 hours in the morning before Wyatt got up so that I could finish it! I loved it!
The New Bohemians Handbook: This was an interesting read. I love this sort of boho feel, and got a lot of great ideas from this book. Especially about plants! I also found out that my spirit environment is the mountains. I feel like it just confirmed what I already knew - that the mountains are calling and I must go..(John Muir) I love the mountains.
Reading This Week:
I really want to read the next installment of Truly Devious, but it doesn't exist yet. Or is not out. So I am concentrating on review books. I am even going to skip the library this week! I have enough books for little man from last week's haul, and I need to buckle down and get some reviews done. I want to read them, I just have Kindle avoidance issues. I really don't care for it, and will almost go out of my way to not read on it. :(
and for the third week in a row,
Watching:
The Finder on Netflix. We are flying through it though and I know it was only one season! I don't even know if it was a full season. I love it though, and will be sad when it is done. :(
What a cool cake! Happy birthday to Wyatt! Otters are so fun to watch? they're just so graceful in the water...
ReplyDeleteI have Truly Devious to read and I've been seeing great things, can't wait to read it.
They are super fun! The Detroit zoo just remodeled the otter house and it is so nice.
DeleteI think you will really like Truly Devious. :)
I love the birthday cake. Happy 3 years old Wyatt! I haven't read either of these books, but I hope you enjoy them!

Thanks! :)
DeleteI love how the outside of his cake looks just like bark; that is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWe were so surprised honestly at how realistic it was!
DeleteBeautiful cake! I love my Kindle. If I have to choose between a print version and a Kindle version, I always choose the Kindle. I've even bought Kindle versions of books on TBR mountain when I started to read the print and didn't want to continue. I loved Truly Devious too and can't wait for the next book. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI know, I really think I'm in the minority on that topic. Lol. It just doesn't even feel right to me, like there is no way to physically gauge how much you've read or how much there is to go. 😊 And darn Truly Devious! That ending!!
DeleteI love the look of that cake! I can almost taste it...sigh.
ReplyDeleteGlad Wyatt enjoyed it.
Your books look good...Truly Devious is going on my list. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
It was so good!! The cake and the book. 😊
DeleteWyatt's cake looks amazing. The bakery did a fantastic job with it.
ReplyDeleteI have a Rhys Bowen book in my to-read stacks but I haven't had a chance to get to it yet.
Thanks! I was excited about it!
DeleteI've read one Bowen book before and loved it. :)
That cake looks so good. I always prefer Kindle books to print books these days. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI feel like so many people do. Lol. I'm old fashioned I guess lolol. :)
DeleteGnomes! :) That cake is so great!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! It was tasty too!
DeleteHappy Birthday to Wyatt. Sounds like everyone had fun. Truly Devious needs to go on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteThat book was a great read. I can't wait for the next one!!
DeleteWhat a neat birthday cake! Come see what I've read.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
