Friday Extras: Reading, Watching, Loving

Happy Friday! Here's a little glimpse at what I'm currently reading, watching, and loving:

Reading:

Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell: I had this as an audiobook and I listened to it while packing/unpacking. A great book. 

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon: This 90s bestseller is an engrossing romance involving time-travel and history on the Scottish Highlands. I got the Kindle e-book and added the immersion reading for a really low price (the whole package was cheaper than the audio book alone), so I could switch back and forth between listening (while unpacking and doing housework) and reading. Now, I need to read the whole series, but I have a big stack of other books I want to read for the summer. Dilemma.

The life-changing magic of tidying up by Marie Kondo: perfect for "Project COPE" and my post-move purging and organizing.

At The Still Point: A Literary Guide to Prayer in Ordinary Time: Literary types will LOVE this prayer and devotional guide that collects beautiful excerpts from classic literature to work in theme with the Scriptures and prayers for each week. It's wonderful.

As I mentioned, I have a big stack of books waiting to be read this summer, and one of them is a new series by Gail Carriger, who I mentioned before, here. This series is a sequel to the previous one that I devoured,and Prudence is the first book in the series that I can't wait to start.

Watching:

Community on Hulu

Pretty Little Liars Season 5 (I'm a whole season behind because I just watch when it comes out on Netflix, so no spoilers!)

The Walking Dead -- Adam and I just started this series after having it on our Netflix queue for at least 3 years. 

Loving:

Reading on our patio

Taking walks on our apartment's nature trail (I missed you, baby ducks!)

This amazing new Ben and Jerry's flavor:

Long, flowy skirts that flutter in the breeze
Flavored sparkling water
The sound of my dryer getting my clothes nice and dry
The bluejays that like to hang out near our new place
Black-out curtains
Peach yogurt with pistachios and chocolate chips (trust me on this!)
The new mini-frappuccino size at Starbucks
