Summer has arrived and that means some sewing, some reading, and some Eva time. This is a block for the Peace and Healing BOW I have been working on. Love this block.
Eva is really into making smoothies these days. And they are a delightful treat on a warm afternoon. This one was strawberries, bananas, orange sherbet and some juice. It was delicious. I keep trying to get her to try blueberries and peaches, but so far she is resisting.
And of course, it wouldn't be summer without some light reading. The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen is a perfect summer book. You think you know what is happening, but you couldn't be more wrong. Matthew and Marissa are having some marital issues and seek help from Avery, a therapist who has lost her license due to her unorthodox methods. I was hooked from page one. I am enjoying this fast, light, brain candy read.
I have been buying books like a crazy person lately. There are so many new books that have come out lately that are perfect summer fare. In fact, did you know that yesterday, June 7, was the day that more books were published in 2022 than on any other date? And I think I bought six of them!
I hope to get a May book review out this week. Those review posts are a heck of a lot of work, so if I can drag myself away from my sewing machine, I will produce something for you!
I always appreciate your book reviews. I make a list of what appeals to me and then head to my library. Thank you for the time it takes to do this for your readers!

Yes, I do appreciate the reviews also.
Love that complex block! I'm doing the Moda Blockheads 4 and just spent 3 days working on 2 unexpectedly complex blocks. Tough, but it felt good to get them done!

Yes, thank you for your book reviews! I find books that I might otherwise never have heard about. Enjoy those smoothies!

Blueberries & peaches would add some nice flavor to those smoothies! You know that Eva will eventually discover that! Your book reviews are very professionally written & your readers definitely benefit by reading them! Thanks for taking the time to put them together!

I appreciate your book reviews. They have led me to some good reads. Thank you for doing that when you have the time. Great looking block there. Eva sure is growing up. She is beautiful and lucky to spend time with you!

I love your book reviews. I get most of my TBRs from you and Modern Mrs Darcy. So thank you for your work.
