I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We celebrated my husband’s birthday on Saturday by going out to a new restaurant for some delicious pizza and topped that off with a tiny pie. So delicious. We also started watching a new crime show, Trapped, which is set in Iceland. We are only two episodes in but there is a lot of stuff going on and the characters are also dealing with a major snow storm. I have to say watching a snowstorm is kind of nice as we are still in the 90s here in Austin.
Today we spent a bit of time at the bookstore and I found out that Bella Grace magazine has a new special edition out, Field Guide to Everyday Magic. This is really cute and if you are thinking of journaling but don’t know where to start or it’s been a while and you need some prompts, pick this up. Each page poses a question and gives you some inspiration on what to write about. Plus there are some lovely photos throughout. I didn’t buy this but I may go back and get it. Not that I need more journals but I just may not be able to resist.
In book news I finished Murder in the Bowery by Victoria Thompson which is one series I’ve managed to keep up with. Loved the characters even if the mystery was a bit simplistic. I’ve just started The Laptev Virus by Christy Esmahan for my mystery book group discussion and this is not a typical mystery for us. It’s about a megavirus that somehow is going to be unleashed and scientists racing against time to find a vaccine. This is definitely not my usual read either but the first few chapters have certainly grabbed my attention.
So what about you, did you start any new books this weekend?
Sounds like an awesome weekend! I went to a used books sale, so I bought home quite a few new titles. Field Guide to Everyday Magic sounds awesome — I’ve been trying to journal a bit more, but it’s hard to get into the habit sometimes.
Sounds like a lovely weekend! Happy birthday to your husband!
Sounds like you both enjoyed your husband’s birthday! The Laptev Virus sounds interesting–and a little scary. I’ve read that bacteria in the polar ice caps will be released as the ice melts. Oh, the dangers of climate change!
Sounds like a wonderful weekend!
The Laptev Virus sounds intriguing. Though it isn’t the type of book I usually read, still I thought it’s interesting and I look forward to your thoughts on it. 🙂
