What I’ve been up to:
Fall is here! At least it’s here in Northern Arizona. We’ve had cool rainy days, and the leaves in the trees are just starting to turn yellow and gold. I’m enjoying the cool breezes and having the windows open instead of air conditioning.
I had a quiet week, read a lot, and got some chores done around the house.
Last week I read:
As I said above, I got a lot of reading done this week. All were very good! My favorite was Mad Honey.
Next week I hope to get to:
What I Watched:
I’ve never been a fan of movie theaters, even before COVID. I prefer the comfort of my home when I watch movies. I like the control of being able to stop and pause the movie when I need a break, and my food at home is healthier and cheaper than theater food. So, I had to wait until Where The Crawdads Sing was streaming before I would watch it.
Like most movie adaptations, the book was much better but, I still enjoyed the movie very much. My daughter also read the book, and she enjoyed the film as well and agreed that the book was better.

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!
We’ve got the fall vibes happening here in PA as well!
Oh good! It’s such a fun time of year.
I swear you’ve got me excited for Christmas with all the Christmas books you’ve been sharing.
Thank you!
I’m so happy to have Fall here now! The leaves are changing here and even though we’re in the middle of a mini heat wave (high 80s) it’s still cool at night. We should be in the 70s next week with a chance of rain.
I’ll be downloading Station Eternity. I hope you liked it! I love Mimi Mathews so I’m looking forward to her newest as well.
I’ve just finished Station Eternity and I liked it very much.
Sounds like you had a productive and relaxing week! Fall is beginning to show itself temperature wise for me, but it’s not fully fall just yet; I’m looking forward to though, because I’m ready to snuggle up in my hoodie all day.
I’m also not a fan of movie theaters and prefer the comfort of my home for all the reasons you listed! Plus too many people for my taste (especially so with COVID).
Thank you, Sophia!
Yay for a quiet week with lots of reading! I’ve never been much of a movie theater fan either and much prefer watching movies at home. Have a wonderful week!
I hope you have a wonderful week too!
I’m glad you had a great week! Reading, fall weather, a fun movie, what else is there? LOL.
Even though I haven’t finished the book yet, Corey and I did watch Crawdads last night. I’ve had a hard time getting back into the book and I was hoping the movie would entice me. It did what I hoped. I’m excited to read the book again. I really loved the movie, so I’m glad to hear that the book is more awesome. 😀
It does have a bit of a slow start. Once you get into the courtroom it goes a lot faster.
I hope you enjoy Kennedy’s book! I did.
Oh, that’s good to know that you enjoyed it! Now I’m really excited to get to it.
Color me jealous of your cool, rainy weather! It’s 92 here today. *sobs* Looks like some fun holiday reads happened last week. I agree that books are almost always better, but it’s nice to hear that Where the Crawdads Sing move was a good adaptation.
Thank you, Tanya. I hope you get some cooler weather soon!
Here the leaves are also slowly turning, but this week we’re having unseasonably warm weather. I’m not complaining. Enjoy the week and your reading.
I hope you enjoy your week and reading too
I’ve heard fans of Where the Crawdad Sings haven’t been thrilled with the movie. I read it for book club, but it wasn’t for me, although I did enjoy the legal part of it. Have a great week, Wendy!
Thank you, Teri!
I wondered how Where the Crawdad Sing is? Sounds like it’s not too bad. Glad you had a nice quiet week full,of wonderful reads!
Thank you, Tessa.
That looks like a nice pile of fun books! I recently saw Where the Crawdads Sing too and quite enjoyed it. Sadly, I didn’t manage to get the book read first. Hopefully I’ll still do that!
I hope you enjoy the book too!
Glad you had a nice and quiet week!
Thank you!
Fall feels like it’s here too with the cooler temps. Although thr leaves haven’t really started to turn yet. It’ll happen quiclky when it does though.
I’m looking forward to Station Eternity- I really liked her Six Wakes. 🙂
I love quiet week and I need them as there is lot to read. I can’t wait to read Belle of Belgrave and station eternity.
Fall is definitely in the air here in Southern Ontario as well. We dropped 20 degrees in one day. I also want to watch Where the Crawdads Sing. I have heard good things about the movie, so need to start watching for it on streaming networks. I love seeing all the Christmas books everyone is starting to read. Have a wonderful week, Wendy.
I prefer watching movies at home, too. It’s nice to be able to pause it when needed and have whatever sort of snacks or other types of food you want.
I didn’t know there’s a film version of Where the Crawdads Sing. Interesting!
Enjoy those beautiful autumn leaves. Less than 5% of the leaves here in Toronto have begun to change. We’re still quite green.
The trailer for Crawdads is gripping, but I think I’ll take your lead and read the book first.
I haven’t seen the movie, but a colleague has leant me the Where The Crawdads Sing book… I really should get to it!
I’ve never read the book, but really enjoyed the Crawdad movie. I’ve always loved theaters though. I went as soon as they opened back up during Covid. I liked how for a while they wouldn’t sell the seat surrounding any ticket purchase. I still like having an open seat on the side of me to put my purse. lol Have a great week!

I’m hoping to get to the Belle of Belgrave very soon.
I still haven’t read Where the Crawdads Sing even though it’s been in the tbr for so long! I’m glad you enjoyed the movie! Happy reading this week. 🙂
I prefer to watch at home too and loved the audiobook. Glad you enjoyed the movie!
Yay for fall and a great reading week. I’ll look forward to your thoughts on Station Eternity because I thought it was unique and I enjoyed it.
Wow, you had a great reading week! That’s wonderful! I miss the days when I got that much reading done…maybe once winter sets in I will have more time 🙂
You had an awesome week of reading Wendy. Have a wonderful week and happy reading.📚🤗🍎🌵💜
I’m the same with movies. I didn’t even know Where the Crawdads Sing was made into a movie, so I’ll have to check it out. Looks like Christmas reading season has begun! Here’s my SPhttps://bonniereadsandwrites.com/2022/09/25/sundaypost-precious-memories/
I need to watch Where the Crawdads Sing – I’m not sure if it’s available here yet. I enjoyed Holiday Romance and I have Before I Do preordered from Audible. I hope that you enjoy all these books Wendy and have a lovely week ahead.
Thank you, Jodie. I enjoyed the movie, but wouldn’t have gone to a theater or paid a lot for it! 🙂
I hope you have a great week!
You too, Kristi!
Once Upon a December is a unique read and I enjoyed Belle of Belgrave. Happy reading!
I just finished Belle of Belgrave and just loved it.
I need to wrote my review soon!
That is a lot of reading this week 😊 I can feel Autumn here in the UK now & I like it, some warmth with the sun but a bit cooler 😊 Have a great week 💕
Have a great week too, Jenny!
One of these days I’ll watch the Crawdad movie though I think I might be disappointed in the film as the book was so good.
It was entertaining. My husband had not read the book, and he enjoyed the movie. But, It’s not as good as the book.
