Sunday Bookends: Reading, swimming, and some rain


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

Can you even believe it is the last day of June? Because I absolutely cannot. June has gone by so fast my head is spinning!

I rambled about my week last week in yesterday’s post where I wrote about swimming and summer and the rain we had all day Saturday

What I/we’ve been Reading

The Women of Wynton’s by Donna Mumma

The Sentence is Death: A Hawthorne & Horowitz Mystery by Anthony Horowitz

The Real James Herriot: A Memoir of My Father by Jim Wight (I have to be honest that this one is a bit boring to me right now so I am not reading it every day)

Return to Gone Away Lake by Elizabeth Enright (a read aloud with Little Miss)

Lord Edgware Dies: A Hercule Poirot Mystery by Agatha Christie

Tracking Tilly by Janice Thompson

The Clue of the Whistling Bagpipes: A Nancy Drew Mystery by Carolyn Keene

The Husband is reading Making It So: A Memoir by Patrick Stewart (he found it on Libby)

The Boy is listening to Soul Hunter by Aaron Dembski-Bowden

What We watched/are Watching

I am making my way through the old Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys show from the 1970s. Why? Yeah…I have no idea but they aren’t as bad as I thought they’d be. I’m even getting to hear some good tunes from Shaun Cassidy. *wink*

Lovejoy. This old show from the 1990s is scratching an itch and I have no idea why. I guess I’m craving old stuff these days.

What I’m Writing

Still working on Gladwynn Grant Shakes the Family Tree and I hope to have it released in the fall. Right now the first two books are on sale on Amazon for $1.99 (ebooks).

What I’m Listening To

I am a little shocked to find myself enjoying the latest New Kids on the Block song.
