It was a good reading week and I loved being able to listen to audio books for so many hours in the car. It made it easier to be in the car that long, and it made the time pass quickly. I
finished 6 books this week (one review will post tomorrow), two were audio books. I also unloaded 5 books from my physical
bookshelves, one I finished and didn't love, and the other four I have no
interest in reading. Here is a very small sampling of the quilt blocks I am collecting. The first one is the state block, which I bought. The other two are the size you get at each store, with a different saying on them, and I am loving them!

I have added too many ebooks to my NetGalley stack and will never catch up, so I try to limit any new books.I am still watching Netflix, with K dramas inbetween reading new books coming in. Tons to read. I should get out and about more too.
ReplyDeleteHarvee, I have a 99% ratio with Net Galley and once I read Jaime's book, I will be back up to 100%. I stress having that many hanging over me for review, I did for a year and now I am WAY more selective.
DeleteGoing to quilt shops in Amish country sounds like a delight. How wonderful it is that you are able to listen to audiobooks while you travel to your next destination. I envy you your adventure.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb, I am enjoying seeing my new state in this way!
DeleteHappy Quilt Shop Hopping! It sounds like a very fun day. :D
ReplyDeleteLark, it was!
DeleteGoing quilt shopping in Amish country sounds like a great time! Your husband is a gem to accompany you too!
ReplyDeleteJodie, he enjoyed himself :)
DeleteHurrah for a good reading week! Audiobooks are perfect for long journeys, I need to pick a new one for me and my wife's next trip. :D
ReplyDeleteNicky, I agree, audiobooks are perfect for long journeys!
DeleteI hope you had a fun weekend. The Quilt Hopping sounds like fun. So, does the lunch. Enjoy your books and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvonne!
DeleteI tried audiobooks many years ago and didn't like them. Then in '14 I tried them again and something clicked and now I love them. My mom was a quilter too.
ReplyDeleteVicki, I love that I can read and do something else :)
DeleteWow!!! You've hit up a lot of quilt shops on your hop! That's great!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jinjer!
DeleteYay! :D I'm so glad you got to go to so many quilt shops! I think it would be so fun to go to Amish Country. I bet the food and quilt shops are awesome. I hope you have fun! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteJenni, I have always been fascinated with the Amish, so I really enjoy going.
DeleteThe quilt blocks look great and I love the sayings too! Specters in the Glass House has really caught my attention, that's a gorgeous cover!
ReplyDeleteHaze, I LOVE Jaime Jo Wright's books, she is an auto-read author for me!
DeleteI love visiting Amish country, and always grab some ShoeFly Pie :)
ReplyDeleteKimberly, I have never had it!
DeleteSounds like a fun time. I never got much into quilting, but used to cross stitch. I might again one day. Hope you enjoy your week and your books.

Thanks Cheryl.
DeleteAhh! Lucky on Jaime's one - I never get approved for Bethany on Netgalley!
ReplyDeleteSarita, it's from Jaime herself, just on Net Galley, otherwise I might not have gotten it either, LOL!
DeleteYou've been really busy! We recently visited my brother-in-law and his wife for the first time since they moved to Pennsylvania (She's from PA but they met while she was living in FL). They're near an Amish community. My sister-in-law's family was shocked that my husband and I had never even heard of shoofly pie, which I guess is an Amish recipe? Her dad bakes his own but didn't have time before we left so he bought us one from the grocery store. It was still fantastic! I'm not even a huge fan of molasses and I loved it. If you haven't tried it yet, I recommend it! Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteJen, no, I haven't tried shoofly pie, but it sounds like I should :) Have a great week!
