Sunday Bookends: Books with no plot, Lark Rise to Candleford, and praise music
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 I/we’ve been Reading
Currently Reading:
The Cat Who Went Into The Closet by Lilian Jackson Braun
Hell is Empty by Craig Johnson
Do The New You by Steven Furtick
Recently Finished:
Sisterchicks Do the Hula by Robin Jones Gunn
This book wasn’t horrible but there wasn’t really an actual plot and that annoyed me. I kept waiting for something to happen – like a mystery or a trial they had to overcome or .. well, anything really. Like a plot maybe. Once I decided and accepted that was never going to happen it was much easier to skim ahead and just see what happened at the end and moved on to the next book.
Up Next or Soon:
Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly
Bury Your Dead by Louise Penny
Bats Fly At Dusk by Erle Stanley Gardner
This week Little Miss and I finished The Cabin Faced West by Jean Fritz. I hope to finish The Borrowers with her this week but she’s been reading Fortunatly the Milk by Neil Gaiman to me.
What We watched/are Watching
This past week I watched Miss Austen Regrets and wrote about it on the blog. I really enjoyed it. The rest of the week I watched Lark Rise to Candleford and Miss Scarlet and the Duke.
What I’m Writing
I’m plugging away on Cassie and hope to have it finished at the end of this month so I can start the third book in the Gladwynn Grant series.
Last week on the blog I shared:
Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot February 1 Jane Austen January: Miss Austen Regrets Faithfully Thinking: When it feels unnatural to not worry and ruminate but you stop doing it anyhowWhat I’m Listening To
This week I listened to this song on repeat:
And loved this version of it:
