Life of a Renaissance Gal
Watching… Evil. I wasn’t planning to watch this show until I read an article with critic’s lists of the best of the new season and this show was on several lists. They all said that it wasn’t a show they wanted to watch before bed so I took that warning with the first episode which…
Watching… Mixed-ish. I’m not a regular Black-ish watcher but I have been enjoying this spin-off. I love that it’s set at the same time I was growing up and that it has a different spin than most comedies. Even if you don’t watch Black-ish, I recommend giving this one a try. Bonus, you get to…
Watching… Luther. I was so excited when I learned they were bringing Luther back for a surprise season. Unfortunately, it did not turn out as well as I’d hoped. I think it may have been better left alone. But it also possible that it’s been so long since I saw the first four seasons, that…
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…
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… Where the Crawdads Sing. It took me a little while to get into this book but when I did, I couldn’t put it down. It’s the story of Kya, a girl (around 6 years old at the time the story commences) whose entire family, one by one, abandons her, leaving her to fend for…
How was your weekend? I was really sleepy this weekend and took lots of naps. I think I’m still adjusting to the time change. Reading… Marilla of Green Gables. When I was growing up, Lucy Maude Montgomery was my favorite author. I still remember going to the bookstore and discovering they had a new L.M….
