Sunday Post #112

 

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.

I'm up in Napa/Sonoma Wine Country for a long weekend and the weather has been gorgeous. We've been wine tasting (outdoors only) and even when it was stormy it was beautiful! Here are some pics:

As you can see I didn't get much reading done, but Her Dark Lies was a captivating! 

Received/Purchased/Library Lend:

This is a library lend audio. Novella length I think it's just over two hours long. I'm so happy my library had it because it's not an inexpensive novella.

Watched:


I watched Mrs. McGinty is Dead from the 11th season. I think Poirot is a little more funny in the books, but David Suchet is the best Poirot, IMO.


If you'd like to visit Italy and you love food (me on both accounts!) this is wonderful! 




What about you? How was your week?

  1. Ooh wine tasting! And that Poirot series looks awesome. I'll have to look it up. I've been thinking of trying Acorn...

    The Tucci show looks good too. Italy!!

    I love those pics!

    1. Yes, one of my favorite things to do, lol. Acorn has a lot of police dramas and other good Brit stuff. Searching for Italy has been really good, too. Can't wait for the newest episode tonight. :)

  3. Rachel, I really hope you are enjoying your long-weekend in Napa/Sonoma Wine Country - It sounds and looks lovely! 😊 I have had a pretty average week of work and reading, where I finished the mythological-fantasy The Testament of Loki by Joanne Harris and I am now indulging in comforting re-reads and re-watches! Take care and happy reading in the coming week. 🙂

    1. Thanks, Jessica! I'm longing to have a normal/stay at home weekend soon. I've been out of town way too much lately and it doesn't seem like I'll be home for the next weekend either. You too! :)

  8. Ah fun trip! Glad you could enjoy some lovely days in the vineyard. Love Suchet's Poirot! I'll have to look up the Stanley Tucci program since I love Italy and their food.

    Have a good week, Rachel!

    1. Yes, but it's nice to be home! I miss my kitties and my own bed. He is the best, right? If you love Italy and their food you'll love the show. Gives me ideas on where I'd like to go when/if I ever get there. You too, Sophia!

  11. Such gorgeous photos! I love the cover of the Jill Shalvis novella. It's crazy when novellas are pricey. Love Stanley Tucci! :)
