Sunday Bookends: Summer movies, school starting, and more mysteries to read

/ Lisa R. Howeler




It’s time for our Sunday morning chat. On Sundays, I ramble about what’s been going on, what the rest of the family and I have been reading and watching, and what I’ve been writing. Some weeks I share what I am listening to.

This week I’m joining up with Kimba at Caffeinated Reviewer, Deb at Readerbuzz, and Kathyrn at The Book Date.

What’s Been Occurring

 School starts for The Boy this week. It will start the following week for Little Miss.

I rambled about what’s been going on in my blog post from yesterday.

What I/we’ve been Reading

I am still reading Clueless At The Coffee Station by Bee Littlefield (really enjoying it) and Trouble Shooter by Louis L’Amour.

Renee by Sandra Ardoin




A Simple Deduction by Kristi Holl (An Amish Inn Mystery)

World Traveler by Anthony Bourdain

Ever Faithful by Karen Barnett

The Author’s Guide To Murder by Lauren Willig, Beatriz Williams, and Karen White

Gardner’s Plot by Deborah Benoit

The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashi

What We watched/are Watching

The Husband and I watched a Magnum P.I./Murder She Wrote crossover yesterday. I expected more from it, but then I learned there is a second part so we will be watching that tomorrow after he gets off work.

I started a Hayley Mills movie – Summer Magic — that I planned to replace one of the movies in my Summer Movie Marathon series since Having A Wonderful Time isn’t streaming anywhere and I don’t really want to order a DVD of it. I’m really not liking the movie very much so I don’t know if I will stick it out or not or watch something else for the marathon.

This morning I watched Just A Few Acres Farm after we watched the sermon from Elevation Church together. This is a Sunday tradition.

The sermon was excellent this week.

Just A Few Acres was interesting as he worked on fixing up an old truck with his son.

Last week he was spray painting a tractor and I know I’m old now because that was simply fascinating to me. Fascinating and very relaxing.


What I’m Writing

This week on the blog I shared:

My book Cassie came out last week on Amazon. You can learn more about it here:

It’s part of a series but can be read as a stand alone.

I made quite a bit of progress on Gladwynn Grant Shakes the Family Tree which I hope to have out by early November.

What I’m Listening To

I listened a little more to The Cross Country Quilters by Jennifer Chaverini and Mansfield Park by Jane Austen.

  3. Summer fun in those photos!

    I love the Karen Barnett series but I have only read two. I need to read the one you listed. I also want to read the Clueless book!

    It looks like you have a lot of great reads. I hope you like The Kamogawa Food Detectives.

  6. Did you tell us what motivated you to read Louis L’Amour, and I just missed seeing it? I’m curious about that.

    Congratulations on having your latest book out. I wonder what you thought about Ever Faithful. It’s a book I’d like to read.

    • You know, I never did say why I decided to try his books. My brother used to read a lot of L’Amour when he was in high school and then another blogger/writer I follow said she was reading his books. I’ve always liked westerns and…well…I just thought I’d try something different. It is not my normal read in the least but it is interesting. Just something new to try.
