What I've been Reading and Watching


I do lots of things besides work and knit! I read when I can and I also enjoy some good tv. I'm a sucker for both. So just a quick post to share what I've been reading and watching...

I much prefer an actual book compared to an audio book. But my sister Liz recommended I listen to Tom Lake because it's narrated by Meryl Streep. I'm so glad I listened. I really enjoyed the book. The back story and the present day story were both interesting (that isn't always the case with books that go back and forth). The family of three daughters on a farm during the pandemic also resonated with me. I recommend the book. A very good character driven story - my favorite.


I am currently listening to The House of Eve. I've been listening while I walk the dog and do housework. It's the only way I can get reading done lately. The narrators are very good and that is a big help! I'm really enjoying the story. The author's previous novel, Yellow Wife was a book that I will never forget.


I also listened to Unraveling . It is our next patreon book club choice. 
I enjoyed it. It gave a lot of information that shows how much work goes into farming, yarn, spinning, knitting, etc all to make a sweater! 




I absolutely LOVED Theater Camp on Hulu. A comedy based on a fictional theater camp in the Adirondacks. Watch it! It's so fun! And the kids are so talented!


Virgin River, what can I say? It's like a modern day soap opera. Better than Hallmark but totally cheesy. I just finished Season 5. It's fine...I don't love it but kept watching. I just can't help myself!


"Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?" you're singing it right? If you know you know.
Only Murders In the Building gets better and better. The three of them are magic. And Meryl Streep was a great addition. I wish Paul Rudd was in it more. Does he age?


Have you been watching or reading anything good? I'm always looking for something!
