What Day Is It Weekend Recap
Sup Monday and what's up with y'all? The time for weekend shenaniganry is through and time to bid adieu to March. I can't believe we're just over a quarter through the year, though it's been quite productive. I got a sweet sale on some spray paint to repaint the skinny and bigger patio tables. I'd already painted the skinny one with flat high heat paint but discovered a pretty bad split on the leg. I haven't the power, time or money to search for a new one so I got the bondo out and filled in the hole to keep it from getting worse and once it was cured spray painted it in satin Canyon Black and it looks so much better. I spray painted all of the hooks and planter holders I took down as well and that took care of a can. We also got the mammoth planters moved out to the patio. Definitely an eye opener how tight it's going to be out there. I miscalculated on the smaller one and we'll need to uninstall and move the folding table we mad...
I prefer my kindle, just because I read so many books a month that the unlimited on amazon makes it more economical for me. A series I got sucked into is The Girl Who Dared to Think. It's a fast moving series and the author doesn't make us relive the last book in the first chapter, they just start right up where the last left off. It's a rare treat for me when that happens, especially when you are binge reading a series.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely a paperback kind of girl. This was reinforced when I dropped my tablet in the bathtub once while reading. I was lucky rice dried it out and it survived, but I don't want to take another chance. I'm not a fast reader and I have a stack of books waiting for me at all times. They are usually hand-me-downs from my mother or purchases from charity book sales.
ReplyDeleteI like a wide variety of books. I just finished the historical fiction "New York" by Edward Rutherford and have just picked up the light fiction of "A Wedding in December" by Anita Shreve (author of the Pilot's Wife, which I also read and enjoyed). And I'm probably the last person on Earth who hasn't read it, but next up is "The Girl on the Train"
We are now pretty much all audio. Books, podcasts. Car, walking, around house. We have huge library at Audible and really use it.
ReplyDeleteI have a Kindle but I prefer a book! I just finished a book I absolutely loved called Young Jane Young by Gabrielle Zevin.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a paperback book kind of gal. I have started reading books on my Kindle from three favorite authors of mine whose series I zip through quickly (Laura Kaye, Kaylea Cross, and Pamela Clare). Two older books that I really like are both from Jan Silvious...Please Don't Say You Need Me and Foolproofing Your Life (probably one of the best books I've ever read).
ReplyDeleteMy main interests are military romance and old west romances, both of which I learn so much about a different way of life. Linda Lael Miller is phenomenal for writing books from back in the old west...and she's funny too, which is a must for me.
