I'm reading
This week I finished reading A Recipe for Christmas by Jo Thomas. This isn't the first festive story I have read and it definitely won't be the last. As soon as I read the first line I knew this was a book I was going to enjoy and I was right. It's set in Switzerland and it's all about chocolate. Delicious. And the opening line:How many Lindor chocolates can you fit into your mouth at the same time? Three isn't as easy as you may think.
Next up I started reading The Bookshop at the Cornish Cove by Kim Nash which is the fourth book in the Cornish Cove series. We all know that books about books are always fab, and so far I have been happily engrossed in this one.
On the audiobook front I finished listening to The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods which was good, without being great. I was very excited to then start What I Ate in One Year by Stanley Tucci.
I'm watching
Well, the America's Cup is run and won for this year. Congratulations to team New Zealand. I must confess, this is the first time I have really paid much attention to the America's Cup but my husband loves all things sailing so I suspect it might not be the last time
The new series of Dessert Masters started last week. This show comes from the makers of Masterchef and features professional pastry chefs making extraordinary creations. Everything looks absolutely amazing.

We also started watching Shrinking. We are only two episodes in but I think we will probably keep watching.

There's been big changes in my world this week. I'll talk more about this in due course. Just need to do some processing about what it all means.

We did go and see the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra playing the music of John Williams on the weekend. Lots of fun.
After a year of doing Duolingo I also started French lessons this week. I intend to just do a term and then see how I feel but I did like it last week, so tres bon so far!

Looks like you've been busy. Your books sound fun. I might have to try to Lindor chocolates out for myself to see. :) Praying life changes work out the way you hope.
