So this week. That was a thing that happened. Thing are moving at their usual level of insanity around here, especially as we move towards Easter. I'm pretty sure it's still February most days only to discover that it's halfway through March. Yikes!
After a crazy and hectic week, it was nice to find a little relaxing time with chocolate chip pancakes and reading time with the kids on Saturday and visiting with my mom on Sunday.

What are you reading this week?
I've been wanting to read "Almost Famous Women" since I first heard of it. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Melinda. I'm really excited about it. What a great idea Bergman had!
DeleteIf you find this letter and Pigs in Heaven caught my eye. Intriguing.
ReplyDeleteBarbara Kingsolver is one of those authors whose backlist I have been meaning to tackle for years. I decided to finally jump in!
DeleteOh, I loved PIgs in Heaven! Have you read The Bean Trees?
ReplyDeleteDeb
No I haven't! I didn't realize until now that Pigs in Heaven was a sequel. Oops!
DeleteSounds like you had a wonderful weekend! It's been years since I read Pigs in Heaven, but I remember liking it very much. And Smitten Kitchen has some great recipes.
ReplyDeleteGood to know! I have had Pigs in Heaven waiting on my tbr shelf for forever.
DeleteMmmm, chocolate chip pancakes...sounds so good right now. I love being able to have a lovely weekend after a week that is just hectic!
ReplyDeleteThey were pretty delicious! Leftovers also made for a nice brunch after church on Sunday. :)
DeleteThose pancakes sound delicious :) I like the sound of If You Find this Letter. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI liked it a lot and I'm still thinking about it after I'm finished, which is a good sign for me!
DeleteThis winter has been crazy for me! The world is spinning too fast. :) Anyway, this morning is the first time I've been able to sit down for a while. I'm running, running. I'm going to read some of your posts that I've missed.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you finally got a break! I hope this week is a bit quieter for you. :)
DeleteI have Almost Famous Women TBR. You've got a lot of reading and reviewing going on here. Come see what I've been up to.

It's getting a lot of buzz, isn't it? I'm excited to find out if it lives up to it. :)
DeleteI've heard great things about Almost Famous Women!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great idea! I'm looking forward to learning about some new historical women.
DeleteI know what you mean. Is it really only three weeks until Easter already?? I'm curious to hear what you think of Almost Famous Women. Every time I read a review of it, I think I should add it to my TBR list, but it hasn't made it there yet. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteYikes, right?!? I can't believe that time is moving so quickly. I just need someone to find a few extra days so that I can catch up with everything!
DeleteI can't believe how quickly the months are flying, I never believed my dad when he said as you get older time moves faster ... I do now lol. I'm drooling a little over the Smitten Kitchen Cookbook. Have a great week and happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely one of those beautiful books that you want to leave on a coffee table and just leaf through. I'm rather sad I will have to return it to the library!
DeleteEven though you've had a hectic week you read more books this week than I have all month so far. Haha! When life is all over the show, busy, busy, busy, I find reading is something I always let slide - trying to rectify that though.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by If You Find This Letter... Looking forward to your thoughts on that one.

I fear the reading is a temporary thing. BG likes to play by herself but she doesn't like me to leave her sight, so I'm doing a lot of sitting on the couch and reading while she plays or looks at books. We will see how long it lasts!
