Welcome to my weekly update for May 16, 2021! Well, the CDC announcement that fully-vaccinated people in the US can pretty much go back to life as usual was a bit of a surprise, wasn’t it? My husband and I will probably continue wearing our masks inside for a while but at least we won’t […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten books with nature on the cover this week. If you asked me to describe what kind of cover I like, I would tell you that I don’t like human figures or cheesy stock photos. I also don’t particularly care for covers that have flowery […]
Welcome to my weekly update for May 9, 2021! Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! We celebrated early with my in-laws last week. It was nice to spend a long weekend with them. I won’t be seeing my own mom today but we’re planning to see her and the rest of my […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our ten most recent reads this week. I’m writing this on Wednesday so it will be out of date by the time it posts, but here’s my current list! Links for books that I haven’t reviewed yet go to the Malaprop’s bookstore website. Welcome to […]
Welcome to my weekly update for May 2, 2021! As you read this, my husband and I should be spending the weekend with his parents. We’ve all been vaccinated and they’re only a two-hour drive away. It felt safe to us and the CDC says it’s okay too. We’ve had lunch with them a couple […]
Hosted by Books Are My Favourite and Best on the first Saturday of every month, this meme asks us to start with one title and create a chain of bookish connections to see where it takes us. This month, to commemorate Beverly Cleary’s death in March, we’re starting with Beezus and Ramona, the first in the Ramona books. I actually […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten animals from books this week. This is such a common theme in my reading that I have an entire shelf of animal books on GoodReads so the hardest part of this prompt was narrowing it down to ten! Most of the links go to […]
Welcome to my weekly update for April 25, 2021! I got my second vaccine on Friday! I was scheduled to get it at CVS on Thursday but CVS cancelled that appointment at the last minute. A brief scramble led me to Walgreens and they took care of me. As I write this about 24 hours […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten colorful book covers this week. I thought about choosing ten covers with crazy colors but I couldn’t think of any books I’ve read to fit that prompt. So instead, I made my own rainbow of covers, choosing one cover to represent each color of […]
Welcome to my weekly update for April 18, 2021! My best friend from high school and her husband (both fully vaccinated) are stopping by to see us this weekend on their way to their vacation. We can’t wait to see them! I haven’t seen them in over a year and my husband hasn’t seen them […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten book titles that work as Crayola color names this week. This is a bit abstract for me but I do love colors (there isn’t a white wall in my house back home and I’m trying to convince my husband to let me paint our […]
