The Sunday Post - Wk 20 - Staycation...


The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer
and is a chance to share news, both new and old!

Hey there, bloggers!

This past week has been our stay-at-home-vacation time so we took our minds off of our missed adventures by staying busy with lots of extra Spring cleaning before it's too hot to open the windows and doors. We set up our little family pool for my mini to swim and we're already tan after just a few days, even with our beach tent set up over half of it. Summer is going to be brutal here!
I'm almost finished my big book/shelf moving project! I only have a little more organizing to do and have to work out how to fit all of my overflow genres onto one last shelf. The lighting in the new space is not the greatest but I'm trying to make it work and have even been posting a lot on bookstagram when I can find a minute!
In the garden, we're harvesting lots of cucumbers, beans, and banana peppers already. A few strawberries and cherry tomatoes. The rest are still ripening. Our summer squash and bell peppers are growing nicely and should be ready to pick soon. The corn is shooting up now, the sweet potatoes are starting to spread, and the pumpkins are finally growing new leaves! We've also added a few new blueberry bushes to our garden!

Recent Reviews:


I'm behind on reviews this week but I did get my reviews of From Tree to Sea by Shelly Moore Thomas and Monstress: Awakening by Marjorie M. Liu posted!

What I'm Watching:I've cycled through the first few episodes of a few shows this week, including Normal People on Hulu. I haven't read the book but I think I'm okay with that.

What I'm Listening to:
Deadmau5 - There Might Be Coffee + Aural Psynapse 
(This is a piano mashup of the two songs. Very beautiful. Not the 'house/techno' version.)

I've been listening to my 2019 playlist this weekend. Probably not the best idea, as it brings up a lot of hard feelings but sometimes good ones too. I can't believe this year is almost half over.

I hope you all have a great week!

  1. Oh nice! Glad the book moving project is getting along. I dread the day I will have to do that...but at the same time I look forward to that end result! Lol.

    Hope you enjoy your reads for the week ahead!

    1. I started Dead to Me on Netflix but it's just okay. Nothing is really grabbing my attention these days. :( Hopefully you have more luck! Have a great week!

  3. I'm so ready to get in the pool. It's been some weird weather though - not really warm enough to swim, and now it's supposed to rain a lot this week. I need to start S2 of Dead to Me on Netflix sometime soon - Loved the first season.

    1. It has started raining here and now I'm afraid I'm going to be stuck inside for a couple of months! Our weather changes a lot though.
      I started Dead to Me recently. Maybe I'll continue that one. Have a great week!

  4. Sounds like you have a fabulous garden!
    I wasn’t interested in reading Normal People but I decided to give the show a try and I liked it.

    Wishing you a great reading week

    1. Thank you! The garden has been a great outlet for me lately!
      Same with Normal People. I'm not very far in it yet though.
      Have a great week!
