Sunday Post 124

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. 

We meet again! I had two appointments early last week, then the rest of the week was pretty low-key. I received my new driver's license in the mail and cancelled the appointment I had scheduled at MVA. Very thankful that is done. I'm good for another seven years. I started a new puzzle, which I will share on my blog when it's done. You will see in my blog recap below that I'm now starting to review puzzles I complete. I don't anticipate this one taking me too long, but I won't have time to work on it again until around mid-week.


We had some snow this morning, which was nice, but unfortunately it wasn't much and it didn't stick around too long. I blinked and it had already melted when I opened my eyes. We're expecting a little more on Sunday, so we'll see how much that delivers. It isn't predicted to be much. Where is my snowstorm?? I want real snow!

IN THE BOOKS

RECENTLY FINISHED
πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„
I LOVED  Public Anchovy #1 (Deep Dish Mystery 3), by Mindy Quigley! If you enjoy cozies and you haven't read this series, I highly recommend it. This installment in particular was so good! It's one of the best cozies I have ever read. I will review it on my blog, but in the meantime, you can read some excerpts here.



IN PROGRESS
Week 4 in The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year, written by Margaret Renkl and illustrated by Billy Renkl, was about observing nature from indoors when you can't get outside. My condo faces only one direction towards a shopping center, but there is still lots of nature to be seen. There are a lot of trees, plus the vultures and crows can often be seen perched or flying overhead.
I'm about halfway through Murder with Lemon Tea Cakes (Daisy's Tea Garden 1), written by Karen Rose Smith and narrated by C. S. E. Cooney. I'm enjoying this enough that I will likely continue the series after this one is done. The main characters have depth and I'm interested in seeing how their lives progress.
UP NEXT
Moonlight Murder (Detective Aunty 2), by Uzma Jalaluddin is still up next. I'm planning to start it on Sunday. This is an ARC I received on NetGalley. It released in a few months.

ON THE SCREEN
  • A Melbourne Match - This was Hallmark's second new movie of the year. It's part of their Winter Escape theme. I'm probably the only one who thought it was just okay. The scenery was nice, but the plot didn't grab me. I think I'm just really missing the non-Christmas winter-themed movies they used to air in January.
  • Winter in Vail - I had seen this 2020 movie before and really enjoyed it, so I watched it again. It's very cozy and perfect for the season.
  • Golden Girls - I really want to finish this season soon. I have about 10 more episodes to watch. I watched a couple more of them this past week. It's on Hulu, as well on The Hallmark Channel.
  • That '70s Show - I don't exactly need another show to watch, but here we are! This is my first go 'round with this show. It's pretty funny. I can see why it lasted as long as it did. I've watched the first few episodes from season 1 so far. The show airs on the Laff television network, which I get on frndly tv.

Have a great week!
