The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated reviewer book blog, and is a post to recap my bookish and non-bookish things from the last week.
So, I'm up in Cambria, California, a beach town on the Pacific Coast of California. My husband and I visit here often; whenever we can find a deal. We're enjoying the sunshine even if the temps are a bit cold. Can't complain with middle 60s being the high. We went on a five mile hike above Ragged Point. Elevation gain of 1800+ feet in the 2.5 miles up and my thighs were quite sore, but we had a great time! Plus, no guilt for the wine and goodies consumed on the trip, right? Lol! Here's some pics. Tide pool, and lazy fire reading.

Watched:
The hubby and I watched a few more episodes, but I think we're going to move on. I don't know what it is about this show, but it just feels off for us. Too gritty, too depressing, I'm not sure, but we just don't like the feeling after watching an episode. Moving on.
You always go on the best weekend excursions. Middle 60s sounds wonderful right now. It's not that bad there, but I feel like we hardly had any time with those milder temps. It was hot, then it was cold, and I like the middle best. Whoo hoo for Jenn Bennett's new book. I have high hopes for that one
ReplyDeleteMore fireside reading... looks heavenly. *sigh* It'll be about 70 here today but then up into the 80's for most of the coming week. Winter? What winter? Chasing Lucky looks so cute. I've only read one by Jenn Bennett so far but I definitely want to read more.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an awesome hike! It's difficult to find strenuous hikes where I am but I'm planning a trip to the foothills sooner or later!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week and enjoy your current reads! :)
Sounds like an awesome getaway!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful retreat!
ReplyDeleteOzark was to dark for me too, the real world is depressing enough right now, I want something lighter where the good guys win.
Wishing you a great reading week
How cool. I love the picture. Have a great time there.
ReplyDeleteOooh you seem to have had a great time there Rachel! And I am curious about Amanda Quick's book! Have fun reading it!
ReplyDeleteOh lovely! I also enjoyed Whiteout and I just finished listening to Alone in the Wild last night and it was awesome.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week with some good books!

Your getaway spot looks great. I love exploring tidepools.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting book four of the Kelley Armstrong. Loved Whiteout! I got Close Up, too.
Have a great week, Rachel!
Wow, just wow, I'd love to go there
ReplyDeleteI love tide pools, and reading by the fire isn't bad either! Sounds like a nice area. I've got Alone in the Wild to read next and can't WAIT. Plus Whiteout is sounding awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mini vacation Rachel! Beautiful pics! A hike sounds nice, and it's a great way to balance out the wine and goodies for sure! That picture of your Kindle, wine, and the warm fire has me envious :). Have a great time!

Your weekend getaway sounds wonderful. I am loving your book haul and have read or will be reading many of them.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a nice vacation. I’ve been planning to watch Ozark, but the darkness of it has me keep putting it off. Great boom haul!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely getaway! I've heard mixed things about Ozark but haven't watched it yet myself. I did start watching You this week though and I'm enjoying it so far.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reads!
What a wonderful trip. I could spend all my time with the tidal pools. They are fascinating:)
ReplyDeleteYou always have the best getaways!! I'm so jealous!! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice little getaway. And reading by the fire sounds sooo good right now.
