I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Tips for Tuesday - Books: Darling Girls & What Would Wednesday Do?, & TV Series: Wednesday

We may have been given complimentary copies and/or access for review purposes to any books, products, and/or any other visual or audio media mentioned below. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own.

Books: Darling Girls & What Would Wednesday Do?


Today we are recommending Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth. Jessica, Norah, and Alicia were considered lucky to have been removed from their tragic homes and placed in the loving foster care of Miss Fairchild. However, behind closed doors,  things were not nearly as idyllic as they appeared to the outside world. Even as adults, they find themselves drawn back into the past they thought they'd left behind when a body is discovered under their former foster home. 

This is a riveting unputdownable book. It has both an exciting plot and interesting characters. Plus, it is full of great family vibes and unpredictable plot twists. It is definitely worth reading!


Today we are recommending What Would Wednesday Do? by Iphegenia Jones. This is a wickedly entertaining book of advice given by the character of Wednesday Addams. The book makes numerous references to the characters of Wednesday and her Addams Family relations as portrayed in all their incarnations from the original television series through the current Netflix series including all three movies and the Broadway Show. It is a great book for Wednesday fans, fans of the Addams family in general, or anyone who enjoys macabre humor. 

Today we are recommending the TV series, Wednesday. After being expelled from her local school, Wednesday Addams is banished to the boarding school, Nevermore her parents' Alma Mater. There she is tasked with solving a murder mystery and restoring her father's good name. 

Jenna Ortega is the perfect personification of the morbidly taciturn heroine. Other familiar characters make limited appearances in the series but don't make as much of an impression, except for Thing. However, the series has an interesting plot full of surprising twists. It also introduces a gaggle of other fascinating unearthly creatures. Although it is still unsuitable for young children,  it skillfully balances horror and humor. 

Season 1 of Wednesday is available for purchase on DVD and Blu-ray now as well as for purchase or rental digitally.

And that's our view. Tune in tomorrow for Where-To-Go Wednesday.
