Welcome to the thirty-first book review of fifty-three. As you know, I used to provide freelance book reviews to several review companies. It was a great experience that introduced me to new authors and their wonderful books. Each week this year, I’m opening my Weekend Coffee shares with a link to a review I’ve provided. Reviews are three stars or higher. The genres range from picture books to fiction and nonfiction titles.

If we were having coffee, I would share that my family went to Nova Scotia for the week, so I’ve been running the home front solo. Well, my boxers, Riggs and Maddi, are home. I’ve focused on reading, writing, puzzling, and watching Shark Week.
If we were having coffee, I would share some of my Shark Week pictures from the last few years of enjoying Discovery Channel’s shark event.

How lovely! I can see how a usually busy house can be enjoyed when it is quiet as a change. Quiet from time to time is precious. Your shark deliciousness are amazing! Did you make all that?

Yes, I made those treats. None from this year, though, since I’m home alone.
Happy Sunday, Maria.

Blue icing isn’t ideal for eating; it makes the mouth and lips turn colour. Haha.

Oh my goodness. I love the shark week theme! My sister is obsessed with shark week. I wish I lived closer, it would be so much fun to do something like this with her.

I enjoy Shark Week. My family isn’t as big a fan, but when I add the treats in they’re happy.
Thanks for stopping in and leaving a link, Kristin.

Thank you, Becki. Yes, it has been a chill week. I miss them though, and I’m ready for them to come home.
I hope you and your daughter enjoy your change of pace. Happy Monday.

You really do Shark Week up fine!
I think Princess Bride is a great movie, and the book (of course!) is even better.
