What I’ve been up to?
This post is for the past 2 weeks as I didn’t do a Sunday Post last week.
Our trip to Montana to take our son to his new home and job was very successful and exhausting! We took 2 full days of driving to get there, stayed one day, and then took 3 days to drive back home. We were very fortunate with the weather and didn’t hit any storms! The roads were clear and dry except for a couple of mountain passes that were just a bit dicey.
I’m so glad we got to see his new home and explore the tiny town he’ll be living in. We also got to make sure his home was set up with almost everything he’ll need.
Thanksgiving was quiet at my house. My son is a big eater, so without him, I didn’t need to cook as much food! I got caught up on some reading, and just had a quiet day.
Last two weeks I read:
This is for the past 2 weeks. I didn’t read much on the trip, but made up for it later in the week.
All these books were very good!!
Next week I hope to get to:
What I Watched:
Yellowstone season 5. It appears as if the new season is just as violent and enthralling as the past seasons! The characters are just some of the best on TV (If you can handle all the violence and language!) And I’m loving it!

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!
I’m glad to hear your son is settled in. It looks like a lovely town. 🤗 That was some drive though! 😯
I like quiet holiday meals, but I’m sure you missed your son. Hugs. 😕
That town and the open plains are very scenic!
Good luck to your son. Lovely pictures.
A good load of books there.
I love road trip pictures. Hope your son is happy in his new home. Looks like you have a good list of books there. Hope you enjoy them.
Glad you got your son settled at his new home. I hope it proves to be a good move for him. I imagine Thanksgiving was a quiet one. I hear great things about Yellowstone but I have never seen in.
The latest book by Lia Louis is on my TBR, but these days I’m all about Christmas books 🙂
The Golden Oldies Book Club sounds good. I feel like I am living it. One of my book clubs has been going for over 27 years. I am one of the youngest members at age 65. Soon we will age out of a club.
It is both sad and happy launching our children, isn’t it?
Looks like you had a quiet week. I have half of these books on TBR. I hope to read them in December.
I hope you enjoy them, Yesha!
I’m glad your Montana trip went well, I love that pic of the long road. Glad you had a nice quiet Thanksgiving. I need to watch Yellowstone.
Enjoy your books this week, The Sisters of Sea View caught my eye.
Thank you!
I want to read that Julie Klassen one!
It was very good, I hope you get a chance to read it soon.
I have tried twice to watch Yellowstone and just haven’t been able to get into it. I bingewatched Chesapeake Shores over the last month. You read some great books over the last couple of weeks, Wendy. I’m glad you enjoyed your Thanksgiving, even if it was a quiet one.
I’m not sure why I like Yellowstone, I don’t like violent shows, but for some reason, I like it. I love Chesapeake Shores, I need to watch it again!
We started watching the first season of Yellowstone this week and I can’t watch it. It’s WAY too intense for me!
It’s very intense. I don’t know why I love it so much as I don’t normally like violence in TV. And Yellowstone has so much VIOLENCE.
Glad you had a good vacation and were able to catch up on your reading after!
Thank you, Joanna!
Glad you got your son settled and had save travels, Wendy. We’re also watching Yellowstone and loving it! One of the only things I can get hubby to watch. We’re also enjoying the new Stallone series.
Yes, we’re also watching Tusla King, I’m not sure what to make of it yet, but so far so good.
I hope your son settles in quickly.
The Golden Oldies Book Club looks like a fun read.
Wishing you a great reading week
Thank you, Shelleyrae!
Glad to hear you had a safe trip because I would imagine the roads out there at this time of year would be dicey! The only reason I had turkey this year is because I went to a friend’s big gathering. My hubby and I would’ve just had dinner as usual otherwise. A quiet dinner is always welcome! 🙂
Yellowstone looks good! I’ve only watched a few episodes but I do want to do a binge sometime.
I just love the series, and binging is the best way to watch it!
That is a very small town. I hope it’s everything he wants! Quiet holidays are nice. Glad you enjoyed your Thanksgiving ❤️
Yes, it’s very small, and isolated. But, he seems to think that as long as he has good internet, he’ll be fine.
I’m with him there!
I’m glad you had a good trip!
Thank you, Lydia
It must be nice living in a small town. Glad you have a nice Thanksgiving.
Thank you, Ann!
Golden Oldies Book Club is probably perfect for me since I am a golden oldie! 🙂 So glad your trip was successful and the weather cooperated – that’s a LONG trip. I’ve seen The Ingenue around the last few weeks – hope you like it!
Terrie @ Bookshelf Journeys
I”m a golden oldie too! I did enjoy The Ingenue, it was very good!
Glad you had a good trip and got your son settled. I want to read several of these…have a good week!
Thank you, Cindy
I’m glad you had a safe trip and have returned. 5 days of driving had to be pretty tiring. Time for resting and reading now! It’s good to see our kids in their new homes. Now you can picture him and what he is doing.
Yes, that’s so true, Linda. I’m glad to know he’s in a place that is warm and cozy.
Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving and got your son settled! Sounds like a neat trip.
I might need to try Yellowstone.
It was fun! Thank you, Greg!
Whew! Glad the weather cooperated for your trip and that you got your son settled!
Pets of Park Avenue looks cute! Look at that little doggie!
It’s such a cute book. I love books with dogs in them.
I’m currently reading The Sisters of Sea View! Glad you had a good trip and a peaceful Thanksgiving!
Thank you, Jolene.
Love the big sky country of Montana! I still need to read the first Stefanie London book with the dachshund on the cover! Sounds like a good couple weeks. Hope this one is good too!

The Stephanie London books are really cute. I think you’d love the first one especially because the dachshund is very cute in the book.
Your son’s new town looks about the size of the town in Iowa where I grew up, or a bit smaller. It’s great you could go and see it plus help him get setup. Thanks for sharing the photos. I have the Spice Master which I’m looking forward to reading.
Anne – Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Wow, you did grow up in a small town. I hope you enjoy The Spice Master, I loved the Paris setting.
Glad you had a good trip and let’s hope your son settles in nicely.
I’ve read The Duke and I, but a few on your list today catches my eye. The Golden Oldies Book Club and The Pets of Park Avenue will make it on my list just from the titles and covers.
I hope you will have a good week ahead and happy reading!
They. were both great! I hope you have a great week!
I hope your son enjoys his new town.
Thank you! I hope so too!
I’m sure your son appreciated the visit and help with his new place.
I think he did! Thank you, Harvee!
I’m glad you had a good Thanksgiving, and I hope your son loves his new home. Have a great week!
Thank you, AJ!
What a great reading week you had! I can’t wait to start The Key to My Heart and I’ll be reading The Wedding Ranch this week. Have a wonderful week ahead Wendy!
I hope you enjoy both of them. I did. The Key to My Heart was very good, as I expected.
Have a wonderful week Wendy. Montana is just gorgeous and I hope your son settles there with no problems! Happy reading!🤗📚💜
Thank you, Susan!
Glad you got your son settled in OK. The sheer space and distance between places in the US always astonishes me.
Have a great reading week
Up there in Montana, it’s astonishing how far everything is to get to.
Glad you got your son settled in & had a quiet but nice thanksgiving. Great lots of books you have been reading, hope you have a great week 💕
Thank you, Jenny!
I’ll be reading The Golden Oldies Book Club very soon. Looking forward to it.
I hope you enjoy it too!
