It was a short working week due to the Easter break, which was nice. The days off I mean. The other parts ... well let's just say I didn't win Lotto.
We came fourth at quiz on Wednesday night, which isn't ideal, but it keeps us humble. I GUESS.
Friday night Son of Mine stayed at a friend's place so I merged with my couch and watched The Marvels. Which I enjoyed, I thought it was a fun movie.
Saturday morning, friend and I went to the library, and I went to her place as usual on Saturday night.
Today I was feeling productive somehow, so Son of Mine and I did some baking. We made some chocolate chip cookies, and a lemon loaf.
I've done some stitching today as well, and that's about it, I think.
I finished Jingo by Terry Pratchett, and The Principle of Moments by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson.
Now I'm reading The House of Hidden Meanings - RuPaul's memoir, and a book called A Curse Dark as Gold by Elizabeth C. Bunce, which has been on my bookcase for YEARS.
Every so often I delude myself and try to alternate reading a library book with one I own. It usually goes ... badly, but it doesn't stop me from trying.
I've also started culling my shelves. I've done one so far. I took a bag into work, and anything that's left from that will be donated.
Anyway.
How about you? How's your week? What are you reading?
We have to do a major cull on our print books, as we have far too many that won't ever be opened again... Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat, so that's my plan as well. Thank you!
DeleteI need to try and read my own books but I get easily distracted, especially when the Council threaten to start closing libraries!
ReplyDeleteI haven't culled my books, just bought extra storage...
I would love to perfect the cookie, but with a 9 month old and a 5 year old this isn't likely to happen for a while 😂
Have a good week!

The cull has been on the cards for many years. I don't aim for perfect - as long as they're tasty, I'm happy.
DeleteThe baking sounds delicious! There’s not much better than home baked chocolate cookies. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty good. Thank you!
DeleteI thought The Marvels was a fun movie too. I am glad you liked it. You've put me in the mood for chocolate chip cookies! Yum! I have not read a Terry Pratchett book, can you believe it? I have been considering it though. My husband purchased a bundle through Kobo of several of his books so I could read them. Which meant I had to download the Kobo app so I can actually read them. Not that I mind. :-) I hope you have a wonderful week, Maree!
ReplyDeleteThey were very tasty! I hope you do dive in - Discworld is so much fun!
DeleteI remember reading A Curse Dark as Gold. I don't remember what it was about, but I do remember reading it. I have lots that have been unread on my shelves for years. Every once in a while I try to read one of those. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm discovering books I didn't know I had! Thank you :)
DeleteI didn't win the lotto this week either. Sigh. I've heard great things about RuPaul's memoir.
