Weekly Reader

While I thoroughly enjoyed my Memorial Day weekend (and my smelly pups got groomed, see pics 2 & 3 above), the week following it has been quite the whirlwind. Fitting 5 days of work into 4 is exhausting! Check out what I’m into this week and what you may have missed below.

Movies/shows

I’ve been watching far too much RuPaul’s Drag Race season 4, which is streaming at Logo TV’s website. That show – you get to watch fabulous, confident people design and craft themed outfits. It’s awesome.
Nerd alert, the husband and I spent Memorial Day seeing the new Star Trek movie. And since Khan makes an appearance, the husband then made me watch the first episode he appeared in in 1967. And then we watched Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. As you do.

Reads

I didn’t get nearly the amount of reading done I thought I would last weekend. Of course. I’m still working on The Aviator’s Wife & Tell the Wolves I’m Home. I haven’t gotten to start The Magicians, and it looks like I’ll have to return it. My book group is reading J.K. Rowling’s The Casual Vacancy in June, so since that hold just came in at my library, I’ll have to switch over to reading that one asap. The Magicians will have to wait.
