| My sister and I all dolled up for church on Easter Sunday. |
Reading wise, I am quite sad as I finished listening to The Hobbit and was excited to listen to The Fellowship of the Ring next but it was checked out from my state library's audiobook app!!!!! I have a hold on it though but since it's so long it may be a while before it gets returned! It almost makes me want to just grab the book and start reading it but I really wanted to try the experience of listening to them this year so I'm going to hold off though my heart longs for some Tolkien! ;) My siblings and I did start watching The Fellowship of the Ring Easter Sunday evening, which was supposed to alleviate my longing but it actually just made it worse!!!!! Ahhhhh!

I visited Kansas (and several other states) on a road trip as a child, but it was in the summer...and beautiful. What can you expect from a road trip, though? Thanks for sharing...and I'm eager to finally get to my copy of The Age of Innocence...it has been resting on Pippa, my Kindle, for a while. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteHere are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Thank you! I love Kansas but it's definitely the most beautiful in the spring and summer.
DeleteAh, The Hobbit audiobook! That sounds like an amazing way to re-read. I might have to steal that idea :). Happy reading week!
ReplyDeleteJessica @ HDB
Thank you! It was! :)
DeleteMichigan has the same kind of weather. It is great to listen to a beloved book. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's nice to know Kansas isn't the only state that suffers. ;)
DeleteThat does indeed sound like Michigan weather! Six inches of snow on Maundy Thursday - 70 and sunny on Easter. The Hobbit would be great on audiobook. I'll have to try that. Hope the Fellowship becomes available for you soon! :)
ReplyDeleteWell at least we didn't get six inches! More two thankfully! :)
DeleteI remember binge-reading a lot of Charles Dickens' novels when I was in the university - I don't think I've read Pickwick Papers yet; found Madame Bovary on sale as well, and looking forward to re-reading it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy Madame Bovary. It's definitely worth the read.
DeleteOh! Kansas! I knew it was familiar! The Wizard of Oz! :D
ReplyDeleteLol.... yes we are known for that.
DeleteOh dear, I haven't visited your blog in a while! It sounds like you have had some crazy weather in Kansas. It seems that this month has been unpredictable everywhere, but perhaps not to that extreme. ;)
ReplyDeleteI shall look forward to a review on The Pickwick Papers! Cranford has had me wondering if it's as amusing as Captain Brown thought it was. :D
It's odd (as Dickens can be) but amusing as well. :) Thanks for stopping by again!
DeleteLooks like a lot of good reads for you.
ReplyDeleteI hope your week was good.
