I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was a bit lazy because when it’s this hot in the summer, I don’t feel like I have much energy for being out and about. I was able to finish two books so yay for that!
Oh and I did have a book crisis Friday night when I was sure I had The Lost Boy by Camilla Lackberg on my Kindle but realized I did not. This is the book for my July mystery book group discussion. So I thought I’ll see if the library has it and they did but I couldn’t place a hold for some reason. Luckily I got that to work the next day and now I’m just waiting to be notified of when my book is ready. Hopefully soon!
This weekend was one of smoothies at our household. I love smoothies for dinner and especially in the summer. We tried two new recipes one was a mango and strawberry smoothie. The recipe I linked is somewhat similar and it was yummy. Very sweet. And, today my husband combined two recipes from Raw Energy making a Mexican chocolate smoothie. Delicious!
Last but not least I know a lot of you have recommended A Man Called Ove by Frederik Backman and I haven’t read the book yet but we did watch the movie and I loved it. Oh but did it make me cry. I really want to read his other books now.
Anyway, that’s about it here in hot Texas. What’s going on with you? Did you read some new stories and/or watch a good movie this weekend?
I love smoothies! I hope you’ll get a copy of The Lost Boy soon. I didn’t know there’s a movie on A Man Called Ove; I loved that book and I’m curious how it’d play out on the silver screen.
I need to try some different recipes for my smoothies. I usually just make one with spinach, frozen banana, frozen mango and frozen pineapple. I’ve got my mom interested in drinking these now, but my husband is against spinach in any drink! 🙂
Hope you get some relief from the heat soon! I’m enjoying our 60+ temps, but would be even happier if we got into the 70s or even low 80s. Nonetheless, I’ve worn shorts every day since we moved here!
Oh, and even though you’ve now seen the movie, I still think you’d enjoy reading A Man Called Ove. The movie was pretty good, but the book was better.
And congrats on your blogiversary! I’m slowly catching up on my blog reading and just discovered your post. Time flies, doesn’t it? I always enjoy reading your posts, whether they’re about books, food, crafting or travel. Here’s to many more years of sharing what you love.
Not sure I will ever read the book but I loved the movie adaptation of A Man Called Ove. Glad you liked it, too. The smoothie looks quite yummy!
I love smoothies! A smoothie for dinner on a hot day sounds wonderful and a Mexican chocolate smoothie sounds like a sip of heaven!
