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.

Friday was my birthday, so I wrote about visiting a very nice restaurant with my husband in my Saturday Afternoon Chat post yesterday if you want to catch up with all that there. I’ll share some photos below of our experience.

A reminder that I — and now my new co-host Erin from Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs — host a monthly bookish link party. It’s called A Good Book and a Cup of Tea but I’ve changed the link name at the top of the page to “Bookish Link Party” so it makes more sense. It’s a link-up for any post related to reading or books and you can post throughout the month.

Another reminder that Erin and I will be hosting a Comfy, Cozy movie-watching marathon again this year, and we already have our list of movies. This week we are watching Benny and Joon with Mary Stuart Masterson, Johnny Depp, Aiden Quinn, and Julianne Moore.

Erin made this cool graphic for it:

Also, Erin and I host a monthly Crafternoon meet up where we get together on Zoom with other bloggers/crafters and do a craft while we chat about life and books and all kinds of other things. We do our best not to focus on religion or politics so we don’t depress ourselves.

If you are interested in the crafternoon, you can find more information here.

I just finished An Antique Hunter’s Guide to Murder by C.L. Miller, which as a buddy read with Erin from Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs. We are both sharing a review of it tomorrow.

You can read the review tomorrow to know what I thought of it.

Right now, I am still reading Gin and Daggers, a Murder, She Wrote book by Donald Bain. I will most likely have it done tonight or tomorrow.

I am also reading The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis.

My slow read is still Come, Tell Me How You Live by Agatha Christie Mallowen, a non-fiction book by Agatha that is about her and her husband traveling to Syria for an archaeological dig. It’s good so far but a bit wordy and slow in some places so I’m not as interested to read it as I am my murder mysteries.

Up next I will be reading Nancy Drew: The Clue of the Broken Locket.

Tuesday I’ll be sharing my list of hopeful reads for autumn. I know for a fact I won’t get through all of them, but it will be fun trying anyhow.

Little Miss and I are reading The Good Master by Kate Seredy together.

The Husband is reading Gray Day by Walter Mosley.

This past week I watched Murder, She Wrote (of course. I am making my way through the show since I didn’t watch them when I was younger.), Poirot, Just A Few Acres Farm, Dick VanDyke, and Supernatural.

It was my first time watching Supernatural and I liked it, sort of. I’m not big on scary or horror-type stuff and though this is tamer than actual horror films, it still unsettled me. I watched it with my son and told him I might do it again but I’m not sure. I’ll have to watch a lot of All Creatures Great and Small to get it out of my system. Ha!

I actually am working on Gladwynn Grant Goes Back to School, but very slowly. It looks like I won’t have it out until winter.

Last week on the blog I shared:

• Saturday Afternoon Chat: Birthday celebration, Supernatural, and changing leaves!
• A recap of the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries episode: The Mystery of the Solid Gold Kicker
• Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot September 19
• Top Ten Literary/Bookish Candles I’d Make
• Book review/recommendation: Dave Barry Isn’t Taking This Sitting Down

I’m going to start listening to Come Rain, or Come Shine  by Jan Karon this upcoming week (because I didn’t last week!) as I get ready for Jan’s new book to come out in October!

I’ve also been listening to the True Drew Podcast, which is a podcast about all things Nancy Drew. You can find it on Apple Podcasts.

|| Apple Taste Testing by The Farm Wife Reads ||

|| A Cat Called Room 8 and the Young Ones by Bettie G’s RA Seasons ||
