Life of a Renaissance Gal
I finally finished The Huntress and have moved on to listening to this month’s book club book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. As you can see from the photo, I’m not very far into it but am enjoying it so far. I’m listening on Scribd; you can get two months free by using this…
Reading… The Huntress. I really enjoyed the author’s previous book, The Alice Network, and was looking forward to her latest work. Both books are a good combination of stories of WWII strong women. I’m about a quarter of the way into this and have been enjoying it so far. It also has the element of…
Reading… Don’t Go There. I love a good travel memoir, so I was excited when my book club decided to read this one. I’m about three quarters through it and was surprised to see that I’ve been to two of the places he writes about: Istanbul and Jerusalem. While we did see some protestors in…
Reading… The Girl He Used to Know. This book was a bit more in the romance category than what I usually read. But it was an unconventional romance between a woman on the spectrum and a man she met in college. Their college romance ended but they rekindle things when they run across each other…
I did not intend to take such a big break from the blog. The last few weeks got away from me – I haven’t been getting a lot of sleep (mostly due to Charlotte’s storm anxiety and the neverending thunderstorms). In addition to that, there have been some changes at the law office and things…
Watching… Last Tango in Halifax. I’ve been trying to make the most of my Netflix subscription. It had been a while since I started a new British show. After a Netflix recommendation, I landed on this one. It’s a story of two people in their 70’s who rekindle a romance they had as teens. I…
Did you have a nice weekend? I think mine was the perfect combination of relaxation and productivity. I updated some blog posts and am working on some things to hopefully get going on blogging more often than I have been. I also did some work on a pattern I’ve been working on and plan to…
Watching… Dead to Me. I binge watched this over the weekend and I loved it! It’s a dark dramedy with lots of twists and turns. It ends with a pretty big cliffhanger so I hope that there’s a season two. I don’t want to give too much away. I’m not even sure what to compare…
Reading… The Silent Sister. I’ve been flying through this book. I read Diane Chamberlain’s Necessary Lies several years ago and loved it. I’m not sure why it took me so long to read another one of her books. Like Necessary Lies, this one revolves around a mystery, but it’s different than most mysteries. While there…
Reading… Transcription. I am slowly whittling my way through the backlog of library books on my Kindle. Hopefully I can make it through them in the next couple of weeks so I take it off airplane mode. I had trouble getting into Kate Atkinson’s Life After Life, but I’m really enjoying this book of espionage…
