April roundup of books and movies

Well...April went by fast. I've read, planted more seeds, enjoyed some tv time in the evenings and have started walking more. I like writing letters and watching the rabbits in the backyard in the mornings ..that's my exciting life.

Here are two of the larger rabbits who graze as seen from the screen porch.


 
Here's the April breakdown.........


Watched........ 📺





Just started Ted Lasso again.  It's been a while.




This month we watched a variety of genres.  We finished Shrinking (love that show), season 3 of Colony,  season 3 of Blue Lights (a police drama set in Belfast) and started Ted Lasso again as we heard a 4th season was coming out.

Still waiting on For All Mankind to drop all the episodes.

I had a good month of reading.  Reviews may be found by clicking on the title links.




Nonfiction 

Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton



Fiction

Buckeye by Patrick Ryan (a buddy read with Susan)







Contemplating

Every once in a while I get restless about the blog format or how often to post.  Do I make a schedule?  Should I post once a week (ideally that would be good for me) or just stick to Goodreads and post there exclusively? 

I think I will post randomly this month and see where that takes me as I have not been joining up with much of the blog hops lately.  Just wool gathering here.


Well....that's it for now.  End of April, over and out!

Last day of February
...the monthly update on reading and watching

Well this month went by fast. I had some good reading, good walking, time fiddling with my plants which did not freeze to death this month....and yesterday was my granddaughter's 12th birthday.  That time flew!  I can still remember Doug and I leaving work to drive to Ft. Stewart in Georgia for her birth. She is as tall as I am now. 

 Here's the February breakdown.........


Watched........ 📺




This month we watched a variety of genres.  We finished season 2 of Fallout (SciFi based on a game our son was pumped about) season 2 of Patriot starring Terry O'Quinn and Michael Dorman (quirky) and just started a second season of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Very much looking forward to Shrinking and For All Mankind.

I had a good month of reading.  Some books I loved and others were just meh...but I read quite a bit. Reviews may be found by clicking on the title links.




Midwinter Break by Bernard MacLaverty





Loving / My new pen! I already had the Scriveiner ballpoint and just received this silver chrome Crown and Regent rollerball. It's lovely for journaling and letter writing.




That's it for now.  End of February, over and out!
