Good morning! Today’s post will link up to The Sunday Salon and The Sunday Post for weekly updates.
Mailbox Monday is hosted at the home site: Mailbox Monday.
And let’s join Kathryn, our leader in It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?, at Book Date.

Welcome to another Weekly Updates post. My week was quiet, but I did read and review two books. I did some blogging…and continued viewing Sex and the City, finishing the series. Then I started on the Crime series that included the O J Simpson trial.
I had lunch out with my youngest son, who was visiting from up north.
Now I am enjoying another cup of coffee, prepared to show some details from the week.

I got behind on the Young Sheldon show, so binge watching sounds like a good idea.

It’s nice to get a variety of reading in. It encourages you to read even more I think 😊 I can be a bit up and down depending on the length of the book as I’m a slow reader.

My mom loves Mary Higgins Clark but I haven’t read a book by her yet. I picked one up at a used book sale a couple of weeks ago so I can try her out though.

How lovely to spend time with your youngest. I had a lovely week with all my kids home, my eldest son has returned to university now though.
Wishing you a wonderful reading week

Thanks, Shelleyrae, I do enjoy spending more time with the youngest, especially since I see him less than the others. We enjoyed visiting him a few weeks ago, but the road trip was a grueling eleven hours in bad weather!
It has been a while since all the kids were here.
