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

My birthday was last week and I had a nice couple of days. One day, my actual birthday, I just relaxed and on Friday we had a family day.  We went to lunch, visited a used bookstore, a garden center, and a small playground and creek.

Yesterday I enjoyed another relaxing day and today I think I’ll be spending a day with my parents.

This upcoming week should be easy going but we will see. I never know what a week will bring, but at least I don’t have any appointments scheduled at this point.

At the bookstore Little Miss helped me pick out some new cozy mysteries. I won’t list them all here but here are some photos of them.

I have a “autumn TBR” but I’m moving things around because one of those books, Move Your Blooming Corpse by D.E. Ireland looked so good and I enjoyed the beginning so I’m moving that up in my list.

We had warmer than normal weather last week but last night we had a thunderstorm and some rain to bring in some colder weather for the rest of this week. I think I am finally getting our autumn weather.

Our trees are changing colors quite quickly and I can’t wait until they are all the way changed and I can drive around and take some photos.

I also watched a couple of YouTube videos about books. I honestly read more this week than I watched things.
