THE WEEK IN REVIEW
When I swung by Chick-fil-A Monday morning their card reader wasn't working so I ended up with a free breakfast. Nice way to start the work week. :)
Since we didn't have a trip planned for our anniversary last week (highly unusual), we got serious about nailing down some dates and getting a getaway booked. Come early June I'll be enjoying some downtime. I'm already counting the days...
This video put a smile on my face. The interaction between Noah and Keanu is just priceless. 😊
This week's 80's throwback is Faith (1987) by George Michael. Enjoy!

It's rare that I purchase hardcover books, but I actually bought two this week. This special edition of It Ends With Us was too gorgeous to pass up. And Fourth Wing, with those painted edges... be still my heart! 😍
TOTALLY RANDOM
HOW WAS YOUR WEEK?
Vacations to look forward to are the best.
ReplyDeleteKeanu seems like such a class act.
Ooh Faith! Nice pick.
Greg - From the little I've read about him (Keanu) he seems like a genuine, down to earth guy.
DeleteVacations are the best! Glad you were able to get one planned so quickly. Keanu was always my favorite, so I am glad to see him being embraced for how sweet he is. I had seen that clip. They were both adorable. That happened to us (really my dad) too with the card reader. Free is a great price.
ReplyDeleteSam - I actually haven't seen Keanu in a lot but any time I see a story about him he's always come across like such a good guy.
DeleteCute video with Keanu. Hope you plan a great vacation. We want to go back to Tampa Bay but I hear it's sweltering hot right now.
ReplyDeleteHarvee - I guess sweltering is subjective. :) It's about 90 in Tampa all this week which is hot, but not sweltering (to a Floridian). Now come July and August when it's in the high 90's... that's sweltering. lol
DeleteYou know what, I never noticed how cheeky that video of Faith is, focusing on his junk and then bum LOL Now I hope you'll have a very nice getaway Tanya! And I onw the UK hardcover of It Ends with Us and hope to get Fourth Wing soon!
ReplyDeleteSophie - Cheeky is a good word for it. ;-) Hope we will both love Fourth Wing!
DeleteI love your videos this week! Noah & Keanu is so charming and I always liked Faith! Both made me smile. Have a terrific week.

DeleteI love the song Faith! Your new books look great. here's my SP: https://bonniereadsandwrites.com/2023/05/07/sunday-post-hold-your-horses/
ReplyDeleteThanks Bonnie - Faith is such an 80's classic. :)
DeleteI totally relate to that quote about not looking at me in a do not laugh moment. I always get the giggles at the wrong times. ;D And yay for free Chick-Fil-A! Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteLark - Right? That is so me. And my sister. If we look at each other it's all over. LOL
DeleteKeanu Reeves is the best person! I just love him. And yay for for free breakfast!
ReplyDeleteSamantha - Keanu seems like such a great guy!
DeleteYay, glad you were able to nail something down! It'll be here so soon!
ReplyDeleteAngela - Yep, and I'm counting the days! :)
DeleteAah yea for a getaway! Especially if it's to celebrate. Hope you will get some time for reading as well!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Mareli - The getaway will be a delayed anniversary celebration. My favorite milestone of the year. :)
DeleteI hope you have a safe and relaxing trip. It's fun to plan. You're reading some good books, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Thanks Anne - Hopefully the next couple weeks fly by. :)
DeleteThat's awesome that you guys always take a trip!
ReplyDeleteJennifer - It's been our tradition for years. Our anniversary is my favorite "holiday" all year. :)
DeleteYay for a getaway! I hope you have a wonderful time. Love that video of Keanu Reeves. I've thought he was adorable since his Bill and Ted days, but I just really love hearing that he's such a sweetheart too.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne - Do I get kicked out of the 80's Club if I admit I've never seen a Bill & Ted movie? lol
DeleteYay for free breakfast. I work right by a Chick-fil-a, and I always enjoy when they give out random little freebies. I'm also envious of you vacation plans. My husband and I last went on vacation in January, and we are both itching to get away again!
ReplyDeleteEthan - They are so good about that! Now and then it's like, oh, your order is free. All fast food places should do that. :) Sounds like it's time for another getaway for you and your husband!
DeleteFree breakfast is a great way to start the day!
ReplyDeleteI love Keanu, he's my forever crush.
Alicia - Right? Free breakfast is a great way to start! :)
DeleteI loved Fourth Wing, and the painted edges are gorgeous on your copy.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week
Shelleyrae - I'm so glad to hear you loved Fourth Wing!
DeleteI love Faith! Such a fun song. I bet you're really counting down days until your getaway. At least that free breakfast made your day. I need to read Fourth Wing.
ReplyDeleteDeanna - I am seeing nothing by raves for Fourth Wing. That has me even more excited to dive into it!
DeleteWhat a nice breakfast surprise! Can you believe I've never been to a Chick-fil-A? Half the fun of getting away is the planning! Where are you going, Tanya? I love special edition hardcovers and Fourth Wing looks beautiful! I've been seeing good things about that one around the blogosphere. That random is so me! I have inappropriate laughing/humor issues!
ReplyDeleteRachel - Never been to Chick-fil-a?! *gasp!* You must remedy this right away. LOL For our getaway, we're headed down to our favorite resort in Orlando. Just 2.5 hrs away. I envision lots of poolside lounging with a good book in hand. :)
DeleteI can totally relate to the meme this week. Yay for the trip and free breakfast! I need to plan a trip for my anniversary. I have been procrastinating because I'm not sure what I want to do.
ReplyDeleteAlison - I tend to treat our anniversary as a major holiday, hence the yearly travel in conjunction with that date. lol :)
DeleteYay for a free breakfast. Chik fil A chicken biscuits are my favorite. I love planning a trip and downtime is always wonderful. I have The Sweetheart List on my reading list for later in the month and am so looking forward to it. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteKatherine - Those Chick-fil-A chicken biscuits are so delish! There's a CFA less than a mile from my house so it's way too convenient to stop there often. :)
