Hi everyone!
Through Monday, I am linking with the following:
On the above blogs you will be able to see links to the posts from others who are participating in those blog hops, and if you're a blogger, you can join too.
A friend and I participated in a speed puzzling competition today at my local library. We didn't come in first, second, or third place, but Team Pixie Puzzlers (that was us) did NOT come in last place! The team who finished first had three people and they finished in about 15 minutes. We are not the same. Lol.
We had two hours to complete a standard 300-piece puzzle. We finished in 57:22. We have been practicing with 500-piece puzzles, so when we realized the one today would only be 300 pieces, we were pretty happy. It was so much fun and we're already planning to participate in the next one in February. That one will most likely be 500 pieces and we'll have three hours to complete it. This was my first time competing in speed puzzling. While I do prefer to take my time with puzzles, we enjoyed this new experience.
IN THE BOOKS
As many of you know, I usually have multiple books going at once. I don't read all of them every week, so from now on, I will only list the ones I made progress with the previous week.
RECENTLY FINISHED
I finished listening to You Can't Candle the Truth (Glenmyre Whim Mystery 1), written by Sarah E. Burr and narrated by Melissa Green. I loved it just as much as I did the first time I listened to it. The virtual book club, hosted by Sarah herself, was so much fun. Click here to read the review I wrote two years ago.
IN PROGRESS
UP NEXT
ON THE SCREEN
- The Toys that Built America - I'm about halfway through season 3. So much of what was invented and became popular was done by people who weren't even inventors as their full time jobs. They just came up with the ideas and took off with them. Then large companies bought their ideas and products. I love how this show highlights the original inventors who often get overlooked or forgotten.
- My Summer Prince - This was the last summer movie I watched this year. It's a Hallmark movie from 2016. I thought it was one of the better royal movies. I'd probably watch it again sometime.
- Love at Look Lodge (also called Falling for Look Lodge) - I think this was the only truly fall-themed Hallmark movie I hadn't seen. It's from 2020. The best thing about it was the scenery. It was clearly filmed in the fall. I also loved the indoor fall decor. It wasn't too overdone like it is in some movies. The plot was okay, but the execution was a snoozefest. It aired just months after the pandemic started, but it was filmed the previous fall. Hallmark was probably looking to acquire movies in order to fill the schedule since filming didn't happen for a while that year.
- Murder, She Wrote - I have two more episodes left to watch in season 4, so I'll probably finish it next week. This hasn't been my favorite season, but I'm still enjoying it.
