Sunday News #52
Feeling
I’m feeling excited. I signed up for a 15-week writing workshop that starts on Tuesday. I hope it’s a good one and I like the teacher and projects.
Blogging
Here’s what I posted on the blog this week:
Reading
I actually finished reading REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES by Shelby Van Pelt on Monday instead of Sunday. I started BOOK LOVERS by Emily Henry yesterday.
I’ve had a lot of time to listen to THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES audiobook this week and I’ve made quite a bit of progress on it.
Listening
I’ve been listening to “I Want to Know What Love Is” this week, not by choice. Don’t get me wrong. I really like the song. It’s just been playing in my head on a non-stop loop. I can’t seem to shake it no matter what I do.
Watching
Corey and I started watching Hulu’s new DEATH AND OTHER DETAILS with Mandy Patinkin and Violett Beane. So far, we really like it. I can’t wait for a new episode tomorrow night.
I started watching the new season of Kids Baking Championship on Discovery+. It’s one of my yearly favorites. As of now, I don’t have a favorite kid.
Loving
I love my book club. We had a really great discussion surrounding REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES. I’ll be posting a spoiler-free recap of our discussion tomorrow.
Wanting
I want some Ghirardelli peppermint bark it’s seasonal and no longer available. #firstworldproblems
Needing
I need to go grocery shopping this week. It’s been a while and we’re running low on food. I don’t know why Corey and I wait so long between shopping runs, lol.
How was your week? Anything exciting happen?
I enjoyed Book Lovers. Hope you do, too. I hate it when I get a song stuck in my head! I also hate grocery shopping, but lucky for me my husband likes it and so he goes! Score! I want to watch Death and Other Details, but I’ll probably wait until all the episodes are out. Glad to hear you’re liking it!
Thanks, Rachel! 😀 So far, I like it. It sounds like it will be fun. I hope you enjoy Death and Other Details when you do watch. I hope it keeps on being good, lol.
That’s so exciting about the writing workshop. I can’t wait to hear more once you get into it. And yes – you do need to go grocery shopping! 😊
Thanks, Tessa! 😀 I’m really excited about and hope to find my writing voice.
Good luck with the writing workshop! I hope it’s a great experience. 😀
My weekly roundup.
Thanks, Nicky! 😀
Lol…well at least it’s a good song that’s stuck in your head. 🙂 Enjoy the workshop!
Right?! My ear worm could’ve definitely been worse. 😀
I still want to read “Remarkably Bright Creatures” and would love to see that show, except that I don’t have Hulu. It’s so frustrating when so much that I want to watch would mean adding another streaming service. Ugh.
I know what you mean about the streaming services. I wish, like with cable, there was one major service we could join and have access to everything we wanted. I’d pay the same or even a little more than what we paid for cable. I bet they’d have a lot more subscribers too because people wouldn’t have to pick and choose which services they like the best.
Good luck with the writing workshop. I’m excited for you.
I need to grocery shop next weekend and I’m not looking forward to it.
Thanks, Alicia! 😀 Grocery shopping is the worst, lol.
I want to read Remarkably Bright Creatures but I am afraid lol. I feel like it could make me cry!
Have a great week!
It probably will make you cry, but it’s a good cry. If you do read it, I hope you love it as much or more than I did. 😀
Oooh a writing workshop sounds so exciting! Good luck!
Thanks, Sophie! 😀 I’m really excited. I hope I can find my writing voice.
The writing workshop sounds great. Hope you find it helpful and worthwhile. Getting attached to seasonal products is a lesson in heartbreak. lol I love the Canada Dry cranberry ginger ale and can only find it around the holidays. I miss it already!
Thanks, Tanya! 😀 If I can find my writing voice and learn to let go of my rigidity in writing, I’ll consider it a success.
I know some many people who love the Canada Dry cranberry ginger ale. They think it’s better than the original. I don’t know why they just don’t make it available year around.
I really enjoyed Book Lovers! Hope you do too!
Awesome! 😀 So far I am. Hopefully nothing happens to change my mind.
Hope you’re loving Book Lovers, it’s one of my faves 🙂 Have a great week!
I am really like it so far. I’m about a quarter of the way through. Hopefully, nothing with happen to change my mind. 😀
I hope you let us know how the writing things goes and what they have you do. Sounds so fun. Hopefully I’ll get going on the writing again this year. It’s such a struggle. Also, I have to read Happy Place first before Book Lovers because it finally became available on my kindle!
I will. I talked to the teacher and she’s okay with me starting next week since I was sick this week. 😀 You’ll have to let us know how HAPPY PLACE is. 😀
I hope you enjoy your writing class! It sounds like a fun idea. How you are finding BOOK LOVERS so far? I have that one on my TBR pile. Who could resist that title? II hope you are able to shake the earworm. I get songs stuck in my head like that too. And sometimes it takes another earworm song to get it out. LOL I hope you have a great week!
Thank you so much! 😀 I wasn’t able to go to the writing class this week because I’ve been sick. I’ll go next week, though.
So far, I really like BOOK LOVERS. I like the sexual tension and banter between the two main characters. 😀
