A Reading Life...hosted by Michelle at The True Book Addict, and also inspired by Lisa at Lit and Life--Life: It Goes On...is a meme where we get to talk about other stuff we're doing in our lives along with reading!

Listening To: The radio? Not much. I just need to finish some books and a few podcasts and I'll be on to listening to another book!

Books finished last week:

Sky Jumpers by Peggy Eddleman, The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson, What You Don't Know About Religion But Probably Should by Ryan T. Cragun, Going Bovine by Libba Bray, Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay

I didn't actually finish all of these last week but it's been a few weeks since my last Reading Life post!

Books Reviewed:

Sky Jumpers and The Historian

Reading:
  • Once Upon a Time: New Fairy Tales by Paula Guran
  • Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
  • Halloween: The Magic, Mystery, and the Macabre by Paula Guran

Coming Up:

Finishing off a few scary stories before the end of October!

Soups and pumpkin bread and muffins! I made a fabulous Tex-Mex chicken and rice soup this weekend. I have plans to make some ghost cookies and try out a new chicken orzo soup.

We will also be carving and decorating some pumpkins this week and weekend!

Grateful For:

That my devoted hubby is home and that we had a fabulous time in Boise last weekend!

Looking forward to:

Warm and comfy foods and treats and an epic Halloween party this weekend!

Pictures: We had a fabulous time in Boise. Beautiful there. I had no idea there were so many fun things to do!





Took a walk to the Anne Frank Memorial and tribute to human rights. Beautiful.


Beautiful Autumn in Boise!

  1. Pumpkin bread, yes please! :D That sounds so yummy!

    I've never read Stepford Wives but I'd really like to.

    Have a great week!

  3. I can't wait to see pics from your Halloween party! Jason and I are going to one and we are lame. I need some inspiration for what to wear!

    1. I have some pics of Gabe and Archie but none of me. Always behind the camera, I guess. My costumes aren't that clever, so I know you'll come up with some great stuff! Good luck.

  4. Welcome back! I'm glad you had a great time in Boise. Great pics!

    You finished The Historian. =O/ That face is because I haven't and even though it's a reread for me, I'm determined to finish it. I love it...I want to experience it again. I've still got two scary reads for review I have to squeeze in this month. Not sure if I'll be able to do it.

    Ooooh, a Halloween party! Will you share pics of your costumes next week? I hope so. Wish I had one to go to. The last one I went to was 12 years ago. I was only a few weeks away from having my older son and I dressed up as Medusa. It was an awesome costume!
