The weekend is here! Any plans this weekend? Anything fun or events that you all are going to?

Easter weekend so making some food and hopefully read a bit, I'm so sucked into the Gwynne fantasy series now I wanna continue.

I told you that series rocked! Lots of world depth and character depth that I just wanted to stay in that world! Sometimes I wish there were more books in the series! LOL Maybe a spin-off series would be cool! :)

So, weekend equals beer, pizza and reading until too late o'clock because I can. Gotta hide eggs for the child on Sunday, eat a bunch of chocolate and read some more!

I'm in bed reading. Strange story. I post a lot of freebies in a FB group, so many books go on my GR TBR from Amazon free purchases. A couple weeks back, an author reached out to me because his book was on my TBR, telling me he was pushing updates for the story through Kindle, and to hold off on reading it. Well, I got the okay to read it, and I'm all about indies and underdogs. Anyhoo, I'm pleasantly surprised by how good Ratstrike is. So I'm reading that

Reading in bed is so cozy!

Curious minds want to know who the author is? The book title sounds cool! :)

I wanted to thank everyone for joining the group and you all just make yourselves at home! :) Just jump on some threads and see what grabs your interest. :)

Happy Easter to you too Justin! Hiding eggs for the kid, eating a good bit of the chocolate (I mean, I bought it so it's mine, right?) and reading!

Happy Easter!

I've been reading all morning and then we have easter egg hunts later with the child. I'm in Utah and it's a little chilly. I'm needing some spring weather!

Sending you sun from South Carolina. It's pretty toasty outside today so the kid had to find eggs fast before the chocolate inside melted.

It's 50 here. Good for chocolate, bad for my soul. But at least it's sunny. It freakin' snowed on Wednesday. Gross!

Oh ew! Not a fan of snow, grew up in Indiana and I had enough. 50 degrees is not enough degrees.

Happy Easter! Celebrate the Resurrection with a zombie movie, show or book! ha ha ha.

Happy Easter, everyone! It is snowing here today in the great state of Minnesota....enough already...haha. I am going to be making shrimp alfredo and I made chocolate cheesecake for dessert. Later, I am going to snuggle up and start reading Brother by Ania Ahlborn

Speaking of zombies - I need to finish watching The Walking Dead. :)

Shrimp Alfredo sounds good. We have a food and drink thread on here if you would like share recipes. The chocolate cheesecake sounds wonderful. :) Ahlborn sounds like a good one. I haven't read Brother yet. :)

I read every issue & am 100% caught up on the shows. I think I have some webisodes to watch still.

The plan is to move to Florida in the next year or so. My brother is there and my immediate family and my parents are sick of winter. We'll soon be neighbors!

Yum!! I'll take the food and you can keep the snow.

Cool! You can sell all of your coats and boots and buy more books! See, I adulted!

See that's a solid plan. That is some real adulting.

Chuckling! :) It finally stopped. I hope it starts to warm up soon, I am so ready for warm weather and sunshine.

Hope Everyone had a great Easter. I had two plates of ham, au gratin potatoes and snow flake rolls!

Where in Florida?

This recipe kinda takes your ham and potatoes into one :D

Holiday Ham and Potato Casserole - Great Easter Dinner Idea - Food Wishes

@Marie - the Tampa area. My brother is in Seminole.

We had burgers and dogs for Easter. My aunt made a pasta salad and she was so worried everybody would hate it so we all ate it and acted like it was the best but it was seriously trash. The BBQ was good though.

Felina wrote: "@Marie - the Tampa area. My brother is in Seminole."

I know where that area is actually - it is in Pinellas county - it is about 40 minutes from where I live. Not really considered Tampa. I have been through that area on the way to Madeira Beach.

You will be close to all the beaches! Nice! You will never be cold again! Oh and there is no snow whatsoever! Sun and Sand! :)

:O I feel like Kevin Hart in that commercial, whhaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttt?!

Yeah, my brother is in Seminole but that is too expensive for us. We'll likely be in a Tampa suburb. We're humble folks. I'd just like no snow and to be able to see my brother more than twice a year. Also, Disney World cause I'm one of those embarrassing Disney adults.

That's quite evocative, I can just see it!

Cool! There are a lot of great places to live around the Tampa area.

Disney World is awesome! Been there quite a few times years and years ago. Tampa has its own theme park. We have Busch Gardens here in Tampa.

Here is a link for you:

Someday I'll go to Disneyworld & other Florida parks. I've been to Disneyland & Universal Studios a great many times. I had Disney annual passes at least 3 times before it got really expensive. I need to see the Star Wars & Marvel stuff!

I'd love to go back to Disney World. A co-worker of mine is there right now and from what he told me prior to leaving on the pricing of some things now, it's pretty crazy.

Yeah, it is not cheap. We went in April last year when they were still only doing half capacity for Covid. It was pretty great. Still expensive but I got this awesome deal on one of the resorts with the little sky ride that takes you too the different parks so you don’t have to deal with parking. We hit up a few Disney parks and did Universal then went down to visit my brother. I love theme parks. I’ve heard of Busch Gardens but haven’t been. Isn’t it a lot of big rollercoasters? My son is only 6 and a little short for his age so we haven’t checked it out yet just cause he might not be able to ride much but when he gets a little older or taller, whichever happens first, we’ll go there too.
