The second week of my holiday absolutely sped by, despite my most ardent wishes it would slow down. Time never listens to me. 

I spent my second week binge-watching The Haunting of Hill House, stitching, reading and eating. The older I get, the more willing I am to embrace my inner hobbit. 

Son of Mine is always happy when I get time off, because it means he gets picked up from school - otherwise he walks home. There's a seconds bakery near the school and we always stop there at least once when I pick him up. They make these amazing citrus truffles around Christmas time, and then just sell them until the stock runs out. I managed to snag some, so I was happy with that. 

We won at quiz again on Wednesday night, which is always nice.

I worked yesterday for some overtime, and it was okay, but it meant I didn't go to my friend's for our usual Saturday night, I was just too tired. So I came home, watched Drag Race and did some stitching.

I read The Haunting of Hill House and thought it was all right - the series was better, which is rare. I haven't read any of Shirley Jackson's short stories, but I have read We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and that is GREAT. It's creepy and atmospheric, and what I wanted Hill House (the book) to be. 

I also finished Wyrd Sisters, and The Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking.

I'm still reading Foundryside, which I'm enjoying a lot, and Bookshops and Bonedust, by Travis Baldree, which is the prequel to Legends & Lattes. It's very enjoyable as well.

How about you? How's your week? What are you reading?
