DAK Living- Dave and Karen exploring the world!

January Monthly Media 2022

Writing this post from the somewhat sunny shores of the Atlantic Ocean on Jekyll Island.   I took some time off work to get out of the Michigan winters.  It’s so relaxing here and I can’t wait to get some serious reading done!

Instead of bringing a ton of books with me, I will rely on reading with my Samsung Galaxy 10.4″ Tablet S6 Lite which I picked up at Costco before the trip.  By using the Library app called Libby or Overdrive, I am able to read pretty much anything once I check it out.  

I enjoyed Seven Days in June by Tia Williams and The Maid by Nita Prose.  I devoured How to Find Love in a Bookshop by Veronica Henry.  I ended up buying Feels like Home – a beautiful interior design book by the wonderfully talented Lauren Liess.  I found it wondering around a little shop on St. Simons Island.

Lauren gives great advise on mixing pieces you might already have with new pieces you might want to bring into your design.  She uses a mix of old and new and shows you how beautiful rooms can look. Very inspiring!

I love the use of open shelving in this kitchen. 🙂

Another book I really enjoyed was Air Fry Every Day by Ben Mims. Knowing the hotel room had a small kitchenette and did not have an oven, I felt an air fryer could be useful.  I picked one up at Costco before we left. The book Air Fryer Everyday by was an essential tool for the months away.  I arranged with the library to keep the book for an extended time and returned it when I got home. Libraries are usually willing to help patrons when they plan ahead and communicate their needs.  

Movies and DVD’s this month:

This movie was a delight. I loved the acting and singing and plot. We were so inspired that we bought tickets to see it on stage this May. 🙂
Casey Affleck is very talented! I enjoyed his acting in Manchester by the Sea and equally enjoyed him in this very suspenseful movie. He might be the more talented of the brothers. 🙂

All of these materials are available at your public library!
