Happy Sunday bookish peeps!
My Weekly Bookish Wrap Up is linked with the Sunday Salon and the Sunday Post.
The Sunday Salon is a meme hosted by Readerbuzz and is a place to link up and share what you have been doing during the week. It’s also a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. While the Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer and is a chance to share news. It’s a post to recap the past week on your blog and share news about what is coming up on your blog for the week ahead.
Non-bookish things:
Hello beautiful bookish people! It’s been a bit since I’ve posted a wrap up post, caught up as I have been in all sorts of other things.
I’ve started my spring cleaning early with an aim to slowly and methodically work my way through parts of the house. I started with my craft space, sorting out over 25 years worth of craft supplies and building a storage cabinet to hold anything that I’m keeping. I’m systematically selling off my stash of paper-crafting supplies and concentrating my creativity on crocheting and knitting. I did keep my sewing/quilting stuff as well, on the off chance that I will one day go back to it. I still have a long way to go but my goal is to do 15 minutes a day of cleaning, organising or decluttering until it’s done.
This week I was off with yet another chest infection – my second or third this winter – and I got very involved in The Real Housewives of the OC. I also watched My Oxford Year and My Life with the Walter Boys while I camped out on the lounge with my dogs.
The weather has started to warm up so I’ve been able to venture outside with the dogs, taking them for a quick walk around the block. My littlest Pippa has a hard time keeping up with her little sausage dog legs but the boys could happily sniffari all afternoon.
Slow Cooker Sunday
Nothing this week. My slow cooker has a fault and has to go back under warranty (super annoying) but it won’t stop me from cooking something healthy and delicious for dinner. I’m going to do a vegetable tray bake with cous cous.
Bookish things:
I’ve read three books since my last post, the first being the final book in the Good Folk: Modern Folktales series by Penny Reid – All Folked Up; the second being Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Sutanto and the third was Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood.
I wasn’t at all surprised by how much I enjoyed All Folked Up and am making plans to read other series from this author now. I was, however, a little surprised by how much I enjoyed Vera Wong. It may have been the narration but I got really involved in the characters lives and didn’t want to stop listening, sitting in my driveway after work to finish the last little bit. It was 5 star read for me, as was Problematic Summer Romance. Again, I didn’t realise this was part of a series until after I’d read it (I do this so often). Not sure if I’ll read the first book though, knowing from the second kinda what happens.
