What I’m Up To:

I had a quiet week and got a lot of reading done. We’ve had more rain this week, which is very unusual. We’ve had 5 times the amount of rain as we usually get during a monsoon season (June 15 – Sept 30). So, for this last week, we’ve had sunny mornings and then afternoon thunderstorms which make for great reading weather!

Last week I read:

Next week I hope to get to:

What I’m watching:

I’ve been binge-watching the Australian series, Offspring, on Netflix for the past few weeks. “The story of the impossible loves of 30-something obstetrician Nina Proudman and her fabulously messy family.”

I found the series to be funny, heartwarming, uplifting, romantic, with a lot of family drama. I really enjoyed all seven seasons of Offspring.

  1. I can’t believe you’ll be reading Christmas books this week but then again, I guess I can. Where does the time go? I look forward to hearing more about those lovely books ❤️ So glad your week was good. Hope this week goes just as well or better!

  2. I am glad you are taking advantage of the summer reading weather. I love the cover of Beneath a Starless Sky. I hope you enjoy your upcoming reads! I hope you have a great week, Wendy!

  3. You are doing much better at reading all those books out in the next couple weeks. I like Serena Bell so I might enjoy that one. But I can’t add to my review TBR right now at all. I wish we were getting a little more rain, but at least we are getting a little when earlier in the month it wasn’t happening. I am just hanging inside until the fall cool down.

    • Thank you Anne. It’s been a reading marathon week for me last week. The Serena Bell book was pretty good. A bit steamy, but not too bad, and the story was very good. I hope you get some rain and some cooler weather soon!

  4. I see that Offspring is on Netflix and that one of the stars of it is currently in Nine Perfect Strangers, which I’m watching, so I might check it out!

  5. We got a lot of rain where I live this week, too. Which was awesome because we’re in the middle of an ‘exceptional drought’ this summer. Glad you got so much reading done. I have a copy of Serena Bell’s Make Me Wilder, but I haven’t read it yet. Did you like Walk on the Wilder Side?

    • Thank you Lark, I did like Walk on the Wilder Side. It’s a bit steamier than I expected, but the story is really good. I hope you enjoy Make Me Wilder.

  6. That is a LOT of reading!! That is awesome! I am hoping to get a chance to read Melody Carlson’s book. I think the series “Offspring” sounds great, but haven’t made time for TV in quite a while. Have a great week!

    • Thank you Cindy. I didn’t do much else all week except to read! Retirement allows me to do that. Christmas in the Alps by Melody Carson was pretty good, I think you’ll enjoy it if you get the chance.

  7. I love rainy weather for reading! Lucky you. Wow, you got a lot of reading done! I’m looking forward to The Brightest Star in Paris as I loved The Widow of Rose House! I just requested so we’ll see what happens. Strange that the covers are so different in theme being that they’re related, right? I like the cover of The Widow of Rose House more.

    • Thank you, Rachel. I did just finish the Brightest Star in Paris and I really enjoyed it! It was so much more fun than I expected. I have not read The Widow of Rose House, however those characters, Alva and Sam do make an appearance in The Brightest Star in Paris. So, now I have to go back and read the Widow of Rose House!
