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


Thanks to everyone for the well wishes for my aunt last week. She has come through a lot in the past two weeks and she still has her struggles but she is hanging tough.


Read Last Week:

  


I am still reading Anne of Green Gables, but I finished Season of Wonder and Flight Patterns. I loved them both! I really needed a Christmas romance, there is nothing happier I don't think. And Flight Patterns was really well done; I could not stop reading it. So good!

Reading This Week:


This book sounds interesting - I am intrigued by the blurb calling the bed and breakfast "mysterious". Looking forward to reading it this week! I am also going to keep reading Anne. :) 

Watching:

Glow, Series of Unfortunate Events, 13 Reasons Why. We have been holed up a little bit this weekend, due to the horrific heatwave! We did go swimming yesterday but for the most part, we have been hanging out inside, crafting, reading, watching tv, listening to music. It is much harder to hunker down these days, with a three year old who just wants to outside all the time! It is just too hot right now, especially for my guy who has a hard time regulating to high temperatures. 


How about all of you? How is it going?

    Glad to hear about your aunt, and continued best wishes to her for a full recovery. All The Little Lights does look interesting.

    Oh my gosh the heat! Stop!! Ha we just got back from Traverse- we had beautiful weather and the day we left- Friday- was the day it got batshit hot. So glad to be home in the AC! lol

    I never finished S1 of Glow, but I did watch 13 Reasons and S2 just recently. Lots to take in there.

      Thanks Greg.

      This heat is the worst! I melt. Lol.

      13 Reasons is so intense! I am pretty sure I cry every episode. Glow is so good!!! We binged season 2 pretty hard core. Lol.

    I'm glad to hear that your aunt is doing better!

    Yes, it is hard to be stuck inside with active kids! So far, our weather has been quite nice, but we usually get our scorchers in August...so I'm sure that I'll be stuck inside my fair share as well!

      Thank you! :)

      Oh my gosh. It is so hard. I feel like we did all the things - puzzles, toys, coloring, a craft project with stuff I brought in from outside, music (Wyatt's favorite thing on earth is to listen to music), until I was exhausted. Lol. Luckily we were able to get him in the pool in the evenings after it had cooled down a bit. :) Got a little energy out!

      Thanks! She is holding her own!

      Flight Patterns was amazing! I told my mom and sister-in-law they have to read it! I love that cover too. I think I might need to buy that version. :)

      I love Karen White. I can't wait to read her new book!! I am not as enthused about her Tradd Street series, but I do enjoy it enough to keep reading it. Lol. I have a hard time with that main character!

      Thank you. :)

    I love the idea of staying indoors and crafting, reading, watching tv, listening to music, ... trying to do that with an active child? I can't imagine.

      Lol yeah it's not that easy. I hate hot weather because it traps us. Wyatt has cerebral palsy, so indoor play areas are not an option, unless I want him knocked down. :( He butt scoots around right now and is so tiny! He also has a hard time regulating his body temp in hot weather - this weekend he just screamed in the car, even with the a/c at the highest setting. :( Luckily, he does enjoy coloring and puzzles and playing with his toys - just not all day! We took him swimming in the evening when it cooled off enough for him to handle the temperature thank goodness.

    I hope your aunt continues to have a good recovery. How loved she must feel with all of you around her, checking up on her, and doing things for her.

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.
