I'm reading....
Last week I mentioned that I was reading the first book in the Granite Springs series by Maggie Christensen. I finished that book and moved straight onto the second book, The Life She Chooses. There's every chance I will read the third book straight after this too!
I have been going into the office once or twice a week. Whilst I could catch the train, I don't think I am ready for that just yet, so I have been driving in. And the unintended bonus of that is that I have been making some progress on my current audiobook, The Sun Sister by Lucina Riley. I am glad to be listening to this as the next, and final, book in this series. Hopefully it will be out this year.
I'm watching...
I know that I am late to the party, but we started watching The Queen's Gambit last Friday night. We watched 5 episodes in a row. I think we will end up watching the rest of it this week.
We also watched the opening episode of A Discovery of Witches last week. It feels like we have been waiting a while for the second series, so I am glad it is back.
We also have a soft spot for any series of Coast, so we are excited to be waching the new series of Coast Australia.
Life
Over the weekend we went to a new to us place, and visited the Australia Garden which is part of our Royal Botanic Gardens. The weather wasn't great, but we enjoyed our visit and definitely will go back. It has already provided some inspiration as to what we might do in our front garden when we get around to landscaping it!
We really need to go back down there and spend several hours. There's so much that we didn't get to see other than from the tour bus that we took.
Is that the BBC's Coast and Coast Australia? If so I'm a *big* fan of both. Sadly the series seems to be no more but is repeated often.
ReplyDeleteYes Cath! This is a new series of Coast Australia. Have you watched Coast New Zealand?
DeleteGorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteNow I simply must watch The Queen's Gambit. It is in my queue and I keep eyeing it. Thanks for sharing.
I am curious about the Maggie Christensen books.
Here are my WEEKLY UPDATES
We are really enjoying it Laurel-Rain!
DeleteWe loved The Queen's Gambit! It was so entertaining, I'd watch it a second time.
ReplyDeleteThose gardens look lovely.
Always a good sign when you would rewatch a show Les!
DeleteI love it when a book leads to the next in the series and that book is already published. Too often I read the first book and then have to wait for the next to be published. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThis particular series has 7 books already published so I can read straight through if I want to Kathy
DeleteI love it when I am so taken with a series I want to read one book after another! I am glad to hear you are enjoying Maggie Christensen's books. I am glad you have been able to listen to your audiobook on your commute! That is a plus! I bet a walk through the Australia Garden was beautiful. I wish we had a botanical garden closer to us. Thank you for sharing your lovely photos! I hope you have a great week, Marg.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to visiting the garden again.
DeleteIf I ever make it to Australia, I am definitely going to visit these botanical gardens. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely place Melinda
DeleteStunning photos. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mystica!
DeleteThe Gardens sound great. I absolutely love that second picture!
ReplyDeleteThe second picture is representative of the red centre of Australia!
DeleteBeautiful pictures! I may be the only one who hasn't watched The Queen's Gambit yet, but eventually I will. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed it Yvonne!
