What I’ve been up to:
I had another quiet week and read a LOT! I’m trying to get caught up and a bit ahead of my reviews as I’ll be on vacation later next month.
We all got our second COVID boosters and no side effects at all.
I’ve been finishing up our summer plans to drive up to Canada and visit a couple of their National Parks, Banff National Park, and Jasper National Park both in Alberta, Canada. We plan to leave late next month and spend 45 days traveling up and back with our little trailer.
Last week I read:
I had a great week of reading. I haven’t read this much in one week in a long time. All these were excellent! My favorites were Out of the Clear Blue Sky by Kristan Higgins, and See you Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon.
Next week I hope to get to:
What I watched:
I finally watched News of the World! I’ve wanted to watch it for a while now, but never got to it. I enjoyed it very much!!

Have you read any of these books? What are you hoping to read this next week? What have you been up to last week? Comment below!
Yay for a quiet week! I’m glad to hear you didn’t have many issues with your 2nd booster. I had way less side effects with my first booster than I did with my 2nd vaccine so I’m hoping mine will go easily as well. I hope you are having a wonderful week!
Looks like a good bunch of books for the upcoming road trip. Enjoy and happy travels.
A road trip to Banff and Lake Louise sounds like a great way to spend the summer! Both places are on my bucket list. Enjoy your reading! Good luck with getting posts prepped and scheduled ahead of time.
Banff and Jasper are absolutely gorgeous. You can’t go wrong there. It’s in my backyard, and I never get tired of visiting those places.
Thank you! You’re so fortunate to live so close!
We visited Banff right before the pandemic shut everything down, and the views were gorgeous. We also visited Lake Louise and it was just as stunning. Happy Reading this week, Wendy!
Thank you, Teri! I’m really looking forward to going!
Wow Wendy you had an amazing week! Your upcoming trip sounds amazing – I loved visiting this area. I hope you have a wonderful week!
Thank you, Jodie!
Congratulations on having no side effects for your second Covid boosters! I’ve had three covid shots and had some temporary side effects with all of them. But the booster was a better experience for sure, and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to be vaccinated. 🙂
May you have a wonderful time in Canada. I’ve never been to Alberta, but I’ve heard it’s a beautiful place.
Thank you, Lydia! I agree some discomfort is worth my heath!
I’m looking forward to Out of the Clear Blue Sky and See You Yesterday so I’m happy to hear they were both hits. I’ll also be reading Strangers in Paradise. I’ve been enjoying that series. Your vacation sounds amazing! I’ve loved the places in Canada I’ve visited. So pretty. I hope you share some photos on the blog.
They both were so good!! I hope you enjoy them too.
I have visited both Banff and Jasper a couple of times and loved it. They are so beautiful. You had a great reading week, Wendy. I am trying to read One Night With You, but it is not grabbing me at all. I was declined for the Kristan Higgins books, so will wait until it is released, but I will read it. Have a great week.
One Night With You was good, but it sure was a bit slow in the middle. But, the Kristan Higgins book was very good. I can’t wait to go to Banff and Jasper!! I was in Banff many, many years ago, but only for a quick visit, so I’m excited to see it again and spend some time there.
I wish I could get a second covid booster. I keep hearing of more and more friends who are getting covid. It’s spreading again.
I agree, so many of my friends are getting COVID. Plus we need the booster to go to into Canada too.
Going to national parks in Canada sounds like a great summer vacation. I can’t wait to see the pictures in afterward. Hope you have another great week.
Thank you, Tessa!
You are smart to get ahead while you can. Traveling is wonderful, but it does change your routine. I hope you enjoy your trip. It sounds like fun.
Thank you, Linda! I’ve been waiting for a few years to take this trip.
I want to travel to Canada for 45 days with a little trailer. How fun!!!
I hope it’s fun! Thank you, Jinger!
Yay for reading and Covid boosters. We did a 21 day or so trip from Minneapolis to Winnipeg, to Saskatoon to Alberta to Kamloops to Vancouver to Seattle to Portland to Salt Lake City to somewhere Nebraska to home. We stayed mostly in hostels and had a great time. We did stay on the college campus in Alberta which worked well too. You’re going to a beautiful area – have a great trip! I want to read that Kristan Higgins book but can’t seem to fit it in.

Wow, what a wonderful trip!! I love Canada, but haven’t been up there in many years.
I haven’t read any of the books you mentioned but the covers are certainly enticing.
Glad to hear you didn’t get any side effects from your 2nd Jab. Plus, that planned trip up to the Canadian National parks sounds fantastic, Wendy.
Thank you, Kim!
Your trip sounds awesome! And yay for no side effects from the boosters…
News of the World looks good! I went over to take a look and I liked Paul Greengrass’ work on the Bourne movies so maybe I should try this.
News of the World was a bit slow at the start, but the story is so good, and it really picked up after a bit. I hope you enjoy it.
Yay for an excellent reading week! They all look good. Have a great week!
You too, Cindy!
My husband and I want to go to Banff this summer too. It all depends on how quickly our place sells, though. We’re in a little bit of Limbo. I hope you have a fun planning and going once you do go. I look forward to reading all your reviews from all the books you’re reading. I need to catch up on reading blog posts from this past week, though. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Thank you, Jenni! I’ve moved very often during my lifetime and I’m very familiar with the feeling of Limbo. I hope your place sells soon!
Some good looking books and your travels sound good!
Hope you have had a good weekend.

Thank you, Emily!
I need to get my hands on See You Yesterday, I’ve loved Solomon’s other YA books. Your summer trip sounds so awesome! I need to just do that myself one summer, drive around to all the national monuments I’ve never seen but always have wanted to. have a great week!

I’ve been wanting to take a long trip like this since I retired two years ago, but COVID hit, so now I’m finally able to go!
The trip to Canada sound amazing! So glad you had a great reading week! Hope that your next week is great too.
Thank you, Bonnie. I hope you have a great week too!
Glad you had no side effects to your booster! I’ve yet to get my second booster but I know it will suck because every other Covid jab I feel like death for a day or so lol
I hope it’s not too bad for you this time.
Have a wonderful week Wendy!🤗📚🌻☕💜
You too, Susan!
A really great reading week, hope you have a great week this week too 💕
Thank you very much, Jenny!
I’m impressed by how much you read last week. Out of the Clear Blue Sky sounds wonderful. I look forward to reading your review.
Thank you, Whitney. Out of the Clear Blue Sky was really good.
Goodness! You did read a lot. Hope this comimg week is filled with enjoyable reads 📚📚
Thank you, Cathy. This was an especially good week for me for reading. I don’t normally read this much.
