You can find my full review on Goodreads: the review.
If we were having coffee, I would share that I’m reading Moon Called. The author is Patrica Briggs. This is my first time reading anything by her, and I’m enjoying the book so much that I plan to read book two.
If we were having coffee, I started a new puzzle this week. I don’t have a picture yet, hopefully by next week. It’s a donut puzzle by Eurographics.
If we were having coffee, I would share that for Valentine’s Day my son’s and I had burgers and fries from Five-Guys. We watched a funny movie and ate popcorn. It was an enjoyable night.


That’s it for excitement this week. Here is the coffee bean grinder. How was your week?

That sounds like a very enjoyable Valentine’s day! I started a new puzzle this week too but mine is of a mountain/lake.

An outside scenery puzzle sounds lovely. I have been looking at one that is a campfire with mountains in the back. I haven’t added it to my collection yet, but I might.
Happy Saturday, Joanne.

Sounds like a nice Valentines Day 🙂 I don’t eat much red meat any more, but I made a couple of filet mignon and brought out some very good wine for V. Day.
I hope you are enjoying your weekend and have a wonderful week ahead!

I’m not much of a meat eater either. I love veggie burgers, but since the boys picked I participated. A meat burger once in a while isn’t too bad.

I understand 100% – on Thursday I actually had a meat burger at lunch, but it doesn’t happen often.

Burgers and French Fries sound like a lovely Valentine’s Day meal 🙂 You’re the second blogger to mention The Lost Bookshop in my feed tonight so it’s officially on my TBR now. Thank you.
Hope you’re enjoying a lovely weekend!

Oh yes, that’s the problem with following other book lovers, my TBR is growing exponentially. It could be worse, surely 😉
