Watching… Yesterday. My book club opted to watch this movie instead of reading a book. It’s a fun movie – light-hearted with lots of good music. It’s not anything deep, but if you like the Beatles, you would likely enjoy it. Reading… Untamed. For a while it seemed like this book was everywhere I looked….

Reading… The Grace of Dogs. After hearing the author on a podcast, I was excited to check out this book. It explores our relationships with dogs. Do they really love us or just love that we feed them? Do they understand us when we talk to them? If dog books are a trigger for you,…

Reading… Of Mess & Moxie by Jen Hatmaker. I follow Jen Hatmaker on Facebook and almost always laugh at loud at her posts. I listened to the audiobook of this one. I think I would have enjoyed it better if I had read it myself. It’s kind of disjointed – which probably works well as…

I’m sorry that I wasn’t around much last week. I’m afraid this week probably won’t be much better. I’ve been in a prepping-for-Thanksgiving frenzy. Reading… I am Watching You & Young Jane Young. I managed to make it through two books again last week! I guess it’s easy to read lots of books if they…

Reading… Velva Jean Learns to Fly. This is the second book in the Velva Jean series. While I think the story could use a little more editing, I absolutely love the message. This book is set during WWII. Velva Jean decides she wants to learn to fly to help the war effort as part of…

Reading… Someone Else’s Love Story. I think I heard about this book on the “What Should I Read Next?” podcast. The story begins with a convenience store robbery. The robber holds the customers, including a single mother and her son hostage. It’s not the best book I’ve ever read but the story was unpredictable. So…

Reading… So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed. I think I heard about this on a podcast. It seems I hear about books, reserve them with the library, and then am surprised when they pop up on my virtual reading shelf. This has been a fascinating read about the shaming culture that has been building on the…

Watching… The Intern. I don’t watch a lot of movies; I tend to be more of a TV fan. I got a free trial of HBO over the weekend. I wanted to make full use of it, so I surveyed everything I could stream and was excited to see this movie. I’d always wanted to…

Reading… The Good Goodbye. I just began reading this so I don’t really have an opinion yet or even anything to share about it. It’s supposed to be a good thriller – something I’m always interested in. Watching… Me Before You. I was thrilled when I heard that one of my favorite books was going…

How was your weekend? Mine was pretty lazy with a few good stretches of productivity. Watching… Boyhood. With all the Oscar buzz over the weekend, I decided to give one of the most talked about movies a go. I think the novelty of the movie being filmed over a twelve year period is pretty much…
