Stay healthy! Be safe!
Thanks for stopping by :-)
Looks like you have had a busy week! This week the two new Christian non-fiction books I ordered arrived, which was nice and I will be reading them in the coming months for my church's book club.
ReplyDeleteI hope the coming week is a good one for you, take care and happy reading! 🙂
I love Clueless! I like the cover on The Lightest Object in the Universe, and that's cool about the online author events. Enjoy your reading this week and stay well.
ReplyDeleteChocolate chip pancakes sounds delicious. I'm curious about Sigh, Gone. Happy reading!

The box sounds fun! Our local movie theatre has been selling popcorn and Choc tops on Friday nights even though they can’t open for films.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week
Those pancakes sound yum. And I've heard about The Henna Artist on Reese Witherspoons page. Sounds like a good read.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and happy reading.
My daughter would love those pancakes. I have an aversion to chocolate in breakfast foods. I hope you have a great week and stay well!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post
I haven't looked at the NY Times book section in ages! And I love the mask bear! :)
ReplyDeleteA night with movies and treats is the best! Thanks for sharing, and enjoy your books. I like the look of The Last Train to London.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog, and stay safe.
We've been doing lots of movies and snacking when we can and I can't say I haven't hated hanging with my family, laughing and crying together. You had some fun virtual events. I need to look up those types of things.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! Tressa @ Wishful Endings
Love that movie pack that Balboa Theater came up with. Neat bundle of virtual events, too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Nom! Sunday BF made pancakes with white choco chips. Different but yummmmmmmmy
