A Month in Summary - November 2024

Little Whale Cove
Depoe Bay, Oregon
November 2024


Whoa! How can it be December?! November flew by, didn't it? We got home from Northern California on the 5th, the same day that my husband's book came out, (which was the only good thing about that day), celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary the following day, had two successful events for Rod's new book, and enjoyed Thanksgiving with family and friends. I'm ready for a nap!

I'm surprised with such a full calendar, I was able to finish six books, but it helps that I was close to the finish with two of those. I participated (unofficially) in the Nonfiction November reading challenge, which is always a good way to focus on some of the books on my shelves. My favorites were three memoirs, each by a new-to-me author. If you enjoy memoirs, be sure to take a look at my reviews for those in the top row of the collage.


Books Read (click on the title for my review):





The Wild Trees by Richard Preston (3.5/5)

Movies & TV Series:


Collision - An older PBS series starring Douglas Henshall from Shetland. Quite good.


Shrinking (Season 2) - Love this series, in spite of a few silly episodes.


White Collar - Meh. The first two episodes were fun, but the we lost interest and quit after the fifth episode.


The Long Shadow - Based on a true story, this was too long and quite dark.


The Morning Show (Season 2) - I started watching the first season a couple of weeks ago and am addicted to this show. I prefer to watch one episode of a show every day or so, but this one had me binging with three to four in a single day.

Celebrating 36 years!

I'm still posting the occasional blog entry about our trip to Canada in 2023, and hope to finish up so I can begin sharing photos from our trips to Vancouver Island and the Tetons.
