What I’ve been up to:
It’s my Birthday today, and we’re staying home to celebrate. We’ll go out to dinner during the week when it’s less crowded. I won’t say my age, but I just became eligible for Social Security benefits, so a few extra $$ a month is a great birthday present for me!
We went camping during the week again. I’ve been working on my campfire cooking! We always take a propane grill with us, and the camper has a stove in it. But, I’ve started experimenting with using a dutch over the campfire coals, and so far, it’s been great. I made chicken and dumplings, chili and cornbread, and peach dump cake. All were delicious!
Last week I read:
When I camp, I don’t read as much as when I’m at home. These were all very good, with the best going to Anxious People! I didn’t realize this, but Adult Assembly Required is a sequel to The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. It can easily be read as a stand-alone, but it was fun to catch up with Nina and see what she’s up to now!
Next week I hope to get to:

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!
Your campfire cooking sounds delish! I have Book Lovers on hold at the library but I’m #94 on the wait list so I imagine it will be a while. LOL
Happy birthday! I hope you enjoyed your celebration week! 🎉🎉🎉 I think we are the same age. 😊
Reading a Backman is on the top of my reading musts for next year. I can’t believe I’ve gone this long without reading one. 😯
While in college, when I went camping with my friends, I learned to campfire cook. It’s great fun. Thanks for sharing your photos. Do you think you will continue to cook that way in camp, from now on? 🏕
I hope you’ve been having a great week. 🌞
I’m a bit late, but happy birthday! Looks like you had a great time camping. I also love my Dutch oven. We’re going camping in August, and I can’t wait.
I hope you had a fantastic birthday! We have to do some Dutch oven cooking in a few weeks for a picnic for the father in law’s bday. This chili cornbread thing looks easy! I might have to try that!
Happy birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day. I have The Bookish Life of Nina Hill on my TBR and have a copy from Audible. I’m glad to know that there’s a sequel so that I can revisit the characters! Have a wonderful week!
Thank you, Katherine! It’s a fun series, and Nina Hill is a very unusual character.
Sounds like a fun birthday. Belated best wishes, Wendy! Dutch oven cooking while camping is fun. My sister in law found several good recipes on Pinterest for us to try.
I’m hoping to read the Emma Project and I’ve got Adult Assembly Required for soon.
Have a good week, Wendy!
I enjoyed The Emma Project and Adult Assembly Required very much, and I hope you do too!
Happy belated birthday! Yesterday was my oldest daughter’s birthday, and we had a quiet dinner at home with the family and her girlfriend.
Your pictures from your time camping make it look like such fun. Sadly, that is never our experience when we go. But that never stops us from trying.
Thank you, Pam! I’ve been camping all my life, and agree that it’s not always perfect.
Happy birthday! And ooh chili and cornbread sounds so good! Especially cooked over coals 🙂
Thank you, Greg! It was delicious!
Happy birthday dear!!
Thank you, Kate!
Happy belated birthday! That looks like a fun camping trip. I’m so happy you loved Anxious People. That book surprised me in the best ways.
Thank you, Deanna! Anxious People was a wonderful book
Happy Birthday to you! Yes, I’m eager for my SS benefits as well – a year and a half more. It sounds like you are quite the accomplished chef! Wow! The photos looks fabulous – especially the one showing your campfire and camper. How peaceful.
I loved Anxious People! I’ve been slowly backreading Fredrick Backman, which is a rare occurrence for me. His writing is wonderfully authentic!
Happy reading this week!
Thank you, Patricia! I’m not much of a chef, but I do enjoy finding new things to eat. I will have to go back and read Fredrick Backman’s backlist too. Anxious People was amazing.
Happy Birthday, Wendy – hope you had a wonderful day!
Thank you, Teri!
Happy, happy birthday, Wendy! 😀 I hope you’ve had a wonderful day celebrating! 😀 Sorry I’m a little late to the party.
Thank you, Jenni!
Happy birthday! I didn’t know you could get social security at 21. 🙂
I read Buried in a Good Book last week, and I enjoyed it. Hope you do, too.
LOL, Thank you Mark!! It’s a special case that I got it so early!
Happy Birthday Wendy! Anxious People was one of my favourites of 2020 and you know how much I loved Book Lovers so I hope that you enjoy it too! I hope you have a wonderful birthday week!
Thank you, Jodie! Book Lovers is great so far, and I just loved Anxious People.
Happy Birthday Wendy🎈🎈🎂🎂🎈🎈 Your camping trip looks great fun and I must say, I love the sound of peach dump cake. Glad you enjoyed your reads last week. Wishing you a great week of reading ahead
Thank you so much, Mallika! The peach dump cake was delicious. 🙂

Happy Birthday! I hope you enjoy all your camping!
Thank you, Carrie!
Happy birthday!! Have a great week!
Thank you, Cindy!
Happy birthday! And yummy looking food! How come you don’t read as much camping? I’d think that would mean more time to sit and enjoy a book.

It’s because we’re so busy, making food, hiking, and sightseeing. At home, I am less busy as I’m retired.
Happy birthday! Hope it is a great one! Your campfire food looks delicious!
Thank you, Amanda! It was very good!
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day 🙂

Happy Birthday. I hope you are having a lovely day. The camp cooking photos are brilliant.
I already have Adult Assembly required on my TBR but knowing it’s a sequel makes me want to read it even more.
Thank you so much, Janette!
Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had a wonderful week!
Thank you, Bonnie!
