What I'm Into, What We're Reading, Years Past on the Blog ~ April 2016 Edition

Welcome May and another What I'm Into style wrap up where we

link our faves, our current obsessions and

 what was happening on the blog this month in past years....

Lots of fun, thanks to Leigh of What I'm Into ~!

Books: Let's see....... I'm nearing the end of The Lakeshore Chronicles series 

Wow, I'm loving Susan Wiggs. After I devour all of this series, I'll be 

haunting her site for new titles!

In preparation for our trip west ( again!) this summer, I'm tapping many of 

Fodors books to be sure we "see" allllllllll the amazing states west of the mighty

Mississippi has to offer.

What else.....

My oldest is rereading To Kill a Mockingbird  as part of his literary studies 

Ernest Cline's Ready Player One for how own edification:

If you're enticed by a story  combining mystery, tech,

gaming strategy and  lots of "Easter eggs," then Ernest Cline is

for you...or your kids.

I picked up a copy of Cline's newest, Armada, as a 

summer-mountain-beach read for my son.

You know, for our annual trek to the lake.

Love that his nose is always in a book.

My youngest, book 1 

The Ranger's Apprentice

  

as well as  sooooo many snippets of 

books for his history, science, English studies.

He's truly enjoying  journaling in his Bible, which we gave him as a memento 

for his work in our parish's  Good Friday living Stations of the Cross.

If you haven't yet looked into Bible journaling, you might like to

head over to my friend, Emily's new Facebook group for a great community

of gals venturing into this "new" way of exploring and living our Faith.

TV: We're over a dozen years behind the eight ball with this. But we are finally finally finally

watching Lost ...is it considering just watching or is it a way of life.......? 

Oh my goodness.....I can't even begin to tell you how we're hooked....... We're Losties through and through.

 4 8 15 16 23 42. 

Can't tell who we love more and why. We're in the middle of season 4 and ....... gotta slow it down or the series  will be over!!!! So many beloved characters from Once Upon a Time too! And characters we love to hate.  If you're a Lost-lover, you know. If you're not.....wow. Go and check it out! By the way, we don't subscribe to cable or Netflix. It's a frugal way of life thing. So library DVDs or amazon is the way we roll.

Just stumbled onto THIS~~
