Hey, my bookish friends!! How are you all doing? I am doing much better than I have been, and even graduated from PT, earlier than anticipated, praise God! Last weekend, my husband I visited Shipshewana, Indiana. We enjoyed our time in Amish country, despite the stresses that creeped in. We were supposed to be moving our daughter from one place to another in Columbus this weekend, but the housing fell through, and then a roommate backed out. She is hoping to find a place so she can move next weekend. So, this weekend is completely free. I had bought my husband Ticket to Ride: Legends of the West for our anniversary, and we started playing that yesterday with our son, and plan to continue to play through it today (Saturday), as it continues to build upon your previous plays. It is a lot of fun. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! And audiobooks. The Stacking the Shelves meme is hosted at Reading Reality.

Library Treasures:
Target Acquired is the second in the Lake City Heroes series. I have read the first one, and have books 3 & 4, so I grabbed it so I can finish the series (and read two more books on my shelf!). The Chosen is our book club pick for June. It is not something that I want to read, but I will give it a fair shot.
Bought:
My ladies Bible Study is finishing up our study in Acts and next up is Romans.
Book Mail: None

I only finished four books this week. I am currently caught up on my reviews. I have never put a video in one of my posts, but I do hope it works right. If not, someone please tell me so I can remove it, LOL! This was a common occurrence in Shipshewana and we loved it. We would sit on our tiny porch and watch the horse and buggies stroll by.

Congratulations on graduating early from PT! I hope your daughter is able to get her housing figured out soon. Enjoy the fun with your son and husband.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb, we are praying it is all sorted out as well. We have enjoyed the game, immensely!
DeleteYaaay, glad the PT helped and you were even able to stop early with it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicky!
Deletehey friend, grateful to hear that PT has been helpful! and yes, we love each visit we take to Amish country in Lancaster, PA.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I have not been to the Amish country in Lancaster, PA, yet. I have enjoyed the communities in Ohio (Middleburg, Berlin, Holmes County), but this was our first trip to Shipshewana.
DeleteOMG, Chaim Potok is so so good, I devoured all his novels. Why do you think you won't like it?
ReplyDeleteEmma, I don't read much YA or teen fiction anymore, and with it being YA historical fiction, it's just not my thing. However, I will give it a fair shot, and hopefully it will surprise me. These days, I really need humor in my historical fiction, and it doesn't *seem* like it will have it, it seems more serious. But, again, I could be wrong.
DeleteThe video posted well and it was amazing to see this. I’m sorry about your daughter’s housing. I hope it gets worked out soon. Have a great week Cindy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jodie!
DeleteCongrats on graduating early from PT! You compensated for my delayed graduation from PT. Lol. I hope your daughter finds housing soon. Have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Meezan, you too!
DeleteIt's been a while since I read The Chosen! I think I might have read it during COVID while the libraries were closed, since it was sitting on a shelf at my house (which is to say, it wasn't my first pick either lol).
ReplyDeleteI love the buggies!
LOL, I can see that, Karis! Have a good week.
DeleteYour trip sounds like despite the hiccups that it was very peaceful. And congrats on graduating PT!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin, it was.
DeleteGreat news about being finished with PT. I’ve not been to Amish country. Must be interesting with horse traffic and car traffic on the road together. Sorry your daughter’s new housing fell through.
ReplyDeleteOlivia, I am super fascinated by the Amish way of life, a slower pace (not enough to give up my modern conveniences though, LOL!).
DeleteSorry to hear that your daughter is having accommodation problems - it's always hard when relocating a distance away, because I'm guessing she doesn't know many people there. The pics and video of the Amish country looks fascinating - though it must be a bit nerve-shredding having horse-drawn vehicles on the same road as cars. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteFor the most part, they are on the side of the road, but it does force you to slow down.
DeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara.
DeleteI'm glad you are feeling better and graduated from PT! Good news! Your visit to the Amish Country sounds wonderful. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvonne!
DeleteGlad you are feeling better and having a good week! Enjoy your new books :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shellie!
DeleteCongrats on finishing PT early! Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bree, you as well!
DeleteSo glad to hear you are doing better!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lark, I feel like a new person, LOL!
DeleteSo happy to hear about PT!! That must be such a relief. As for the housing situation for your daughter, I know exactly how that feels. It's a scramble to figure things out when lans fall through, but I know it will work out! Here's to lots of good books in June!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Sarah!
DeleteWe have some Amish here, but more Mennonite so seeing the horse and buggy isn't as common. Hope your daughter can figure out her living situation soon.
ReplyDeleteThe game sounds fun.
I hope to read Chaim Potok's books myself at some point. It's on my shelf at least.
Thanks Lisa. We have an Amish community here in Ohio as well, but they are more spread out, whereas in Shipshewana, they are more centralized, so we literally saw them everywhere.
DeleteCongrats on finishing PT early and I hope your daughter found another place to move into!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jinjer!
