Weekly Reads Round Up: Favorite Read of the Week

Tears of the Giraffe (No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, #2) by Alexander McCall Smith – I’m so glad I’ve discovered this backlist series. It is exactly what I need in my ears during this busy days with very little time to sit down and read. The mysteries are straight forward yet engrossing and there’s a slice of life feel to the writing that I can easily escape in to. There’s also a sense of common goodness and love between people that I find comforting.
What I’m Reading & Listening to Now:


Listening: Drake Hall (The Secrets of Ormdale #2) by Christina Baehr
Week in Review:
I blinked and this week went by! Our daughter had tech week for the school play and then homecoming last night. I had a long list of adulting tasks so felt like I hardly sat down to read or work on cross stitch.
Something I’m Looking Forward To:
Today we will select our pumpkins which I always love. Tomorrow we celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary…by attending parent teacher conferences at the high school, ha! Middle school parent teacher conferences are Tuesday and the school play begins through the weekend. We don’t have school Friday so that is a lovely pause in the midst of busy busy!
