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
Last week was all about change. Wyatt started preschool, and we are having to redo our routine. It's a work in progress! I feel like there is more time to blog and read on my horizon, at least on the days he goes to school. Or that is the plan anyway for now!
We had some great family time this Saturday, hanging out at the metropark then going out for lunch. It was a nice time - the weather was sunny but still cold. I am so ready to not have to wear a coat!
Read Last Week:
The Family Gathering by Robyn Carr: I really love reading about this family! This maybe was my favorite in this series so far!
Hello, Sunshine by Laura Dave: Another great read for the week. I devoured it. So good. I do have to say I was a little shocked by the end!
Reading This Week:
It's time for my annual reread! My favorite book on earth.
I also have a bunch of books on hold - if one comes in, I will read that one as well.
Watching:
Superstore - this show is hilarious. It surprised us on how funny it is!!
Supernatural - we are trying to catch up but we aren't going to make it before the Scooby Doo episode that airs this week.
I'm also watching Drop Dead Diva on Netflix. I think I am feeling like easy breezy type tv and reads right now. Maybe because I have spring fever?
What about you all? Anything going on?
Ooh Hello Sunshine! Haven't read it but I LOVED Eight Hundred Grapes by the same author, so I'm glad to hear it was good. I'll have to get it.
ReplyDeleteLove that cover of Watership down too- so green! Enjoy the re- read!!
I'm still watching Riverdale but I'm behind *sigh* and The 100 is coming back soon- yesss!!!
I loved Eight Hundred Grapes, but I really liked Hello, Sunshine! :) It was so good.
DeleteI know right, that is a great cover! So spring. :)
I am behind on Riverdale too. :(
You had a nice variety of activities. Yay for that. Today was a lazy day after brunch. I was feeling a bit lost after figuring out the cardigan had to be frogged. I catnapped on my 10 year old's bed while she played Pokemon Sun and her sister played some game on her iPad.
ReplyDeleteLazy days are great. And catnaps surrounded by your kids - sounds so cozy. :) Little quiet moments that life is made of. :)
DeleteMy three year old nephew is particular about his food; he won't eat rice if there's stuff on it, LOL. I love brunch too more than going out for dinner b/c I love potatoes and eggs. Once in a while we'll have brinner.
DeleteI've never read Watership Down, but my husband often talks about an audiobook of it that he listened to when younger. I hope you enjoy your reread; returning to tried & true favourites is always nice.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're able to get into the swing of your new routine soon. A lovely week to you; bookish & otherwise.
I have heard there are some great audiobook versions of Watership Down. It is a fantastic read. I look forward to my springtime read every year.
DeleteThanks Jade! I am trying to catch up on blog stuff while the boy is gone. He had another cold, so today is his first day back. Fingers crossed for no tears!
I've never read Watership Down. I'm not a fan of talking animals. I hope you enjoy your reread. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteYeah that is what I hear the most from people, when they tell me they haven't read it. :)
DeleteThanks!!
ReplyDeleteThe Family Gathering is on my list...and I loved Drop Dead Diva when it was on network TV. Now I must binge-watch on Netflix, as I loved the show.
Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I love Drop Dead Diva!! I have been binge watching it during Wyatt's nap. I really liked The Family Gathering - I was looking forward to some happy reading and that one fit the bill. :)
DeleteI am really enjoying The Family Gathering, I do like these characters and I think it will be my favourite read this month.
ReplyDeleteI really liked it too! I think it is my favorite in the series. :)
DeleteI'm so behind on my review reads that I don't know if I'll get to do my annual re-read of anything this year. So far I don't feel like I need the break, but that will probably change mid-summer when I usually get the craving for a favorite. See what I've read at Girl Who Reads
ReplyDeleteI am behind on mine too! :( I really knuckled down and read a bunch so I am rewarding myself with my Watership Down read. :)
DeleteI hope Wyatt loves school. Enjoy your Watership Down reread. It’s been a long time since I read that one. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks! He is doing ok so far - cries off and on but does have fun. :) Watership Down is such a great book.
DeleteI enjoyed Hello Sunshine. Looking forward to The Family Gathering. Hopefully the weather will warm up!
ReplyDeleteHello, Sunshine was so good! We need sunshine here in Michigan. Lol. I looked at the forecast for next week and it's not a good one. I am so ready for nice weather!
DeleteHello Sunshine is on my wishlist. Come see what I'm reading
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed it!
DeleteThe Family Gathering by Robyn Carr: looks so good, I want to read. I love the show superstore :D so funny , great comedy. Great week you had there
ReplyDeleteI really liked The Family Gathering! It was a fun read.
DeleteSuperstore is so funny!! I had no idea, but it is hysterical!
Can you believe I've never read Watership Down? I really need to someday!
ReplyDeleteIt's my favorite book ever. I read it when I was a kid, and fell in love with these rabbits. The cartoon however was terrifying. I love to read it in the spring, and get fanciful about the lives of the neighborhood rabbits. Lol.
