Sunday News #53
Feeling
I’m feeling a little bit tired. I stayed up Friday night and last night reading two very good books. I often don’t stay up reading because I love my sleep too much. When a book can get me to forget about my sleep, then it’s definitely going to get a 4- or 5-star rating.
Blogging
Here’s what I posted on the blog this week:
Reading
I finished reading BOOK LOVERS by Emily Henry and listening to THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES audiobook last night and I loved them both. I’ll post both reviews soon.
I’m going to start reading THIS SPELLS LOVE by Kate Robb today and I’m going to continue reading The Hunger Games series via audio.
Listening
I’ve been listening to a few songs Corey adores. If he’s not listening to his main playlist that consists of 60s and 70s rock, then he goes back and forth between listening to the three songs below. I think the first one is weird, but funny and I like the second and third. Let me know what you think of them.
Watching
We went to BEEKEEPER in the theater on Friday. It’s the new Jason Statham movie. You always know what you’re in for when you watch a Jason Statham movie and it definitely delivered. I liked it, but the story felt underdeveloped and rushed. I think his Transporter and Mechanic series are better.
We also watched the three Kingsman movies and the two Hitman’s Bodyguard movies at home. I love the Kingsman movies and I’m excited for the new one to come out later this year or early next year. I love the first Hitman’s Bodyguard movie the best. Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson are hilarious together. The second one isn’t as good, but it’s still fun.
Loving
I love the bookmarks I made for a few of my friends. We met in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and have been friends since. This week was two of their birthdays so I crocheted bookmarks for each of them.
Wanting
I want to go swimming. I miss Bear Lake. I know I can swim in the indoor pool at our local recreation center, but it’s not the same. Bear Lake is not only a gorgeous blue green, but it’s fresh water with no salt or chlorine and it’s cold. It’s nice to take a dip on a warm summer’s day.
Needing Craving
I’m craving my spicy oatmeal cookies because one of Corey’s colognes always reminds me of nutmeg and other spices. They’re cake-like cookies, fluffy and soft, and they taste like spice cake but better.
How was your week? Anything exciting happen?
I DNFed the Book Lovers audio, but I think I might enjoy it if I read the book. So we’ll see. I love the little bookmarks you made. Hope you have a good week!
Thanks, Lisa! 😀 I had a lot of fun making them. I’m sorry the BOOK LOVERS audio didn’t work for you. I hope you enjoy the physical book more.
I loved Book Lovers and I enjoyed This Spells Love too. I hope you like it! Enjoy your books this week!
Yay! 😀 I hope I enjoy THIS SPELLS LOVE too.
ah ah, to sleep or to read? A torturing question for book bloggers.
Those bookmarks are so very cute, bravo!
Thanks, Emma! 😀 I had a lot of fun making them.
Yes! Even though I love my sleep, I tend to get very distracted at bed time so I end up not going to bed until after midnight. Reading until later than that is very unusual for me but I will do it if the book I’m reading is amazing, lol.
I enjoyed Book Lovers too! Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson do sound like a fun pairing. I’ll have to check that out. Have a great week, Jenni!
Cool! 😀 I’m glad you did. Yes, Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson are a good pairing. They’re hilarious, lol. I hope you enjoy the movies if you do watch them.
This Spells Love looks like it’s right up my alley.
Those bookmarks are so cute, I’ve never thought of crocheting this.
I watched the latest Fast and Furious movie with my brother and enjoyed it but was a little lost because the last one I saw was the original when it was released.
Thanks, Alicia! 😀 I enjoyed making them. THIS SPELLS LOVE caught my attention immediately when I chose it for my Book of the Month book. I’m excited to read it this week.
I’m a super fan of the Fast & Furious franchise. I love it so much. I even got my BFF to watch them with me. I can see why you’d feel lost if you hadn’t seen one since the original. The storylines are very different now.
I’ve been wanting to read a book by Emily Henry. This sounds like a good one. Oh you asked my thoughts on season 5 of GOT on my blog. It was good. I tend to get a bit confused with all the different characters, but wow it’s a violent series, isn’t it? I’m almost done with season 5 now.
Have a great week!
BOOK LOVERS is my first Emily Henry book. I look forward to reading more by her.
There are a ton of characters in GoT. My husband has a hard time keeping them straight as well. He has face blindness so some of the characters that look a lot like each other confuse him. It is very violent. So Crazy.
Hooray for books good enough to keep you up past bedtime! 🙂 Cute bookmarks… and those cookies sound delicious!
Thanks, Tanya! 😀 I really enjoyed making them. I did finally make cookies yesterday and yes, I love them so much.
These bookmarks are amazing!
Thank you, Sophie! 😀 I really had fun making them.
I can’t even remember the last time a book kept me up until the wee hours. I miss that feeling.
I enjoyed Book Lovers.
Love your bookmarks!
Thanks, Karen! 😀 I had a lot of fun making them.
I totally understand. BOOK LOVERS and tBoSaS are the first ones I’ve stayed up reading for at least a year or more.
