September Monthly Updates
Fall has FALLEN!
Too soon? I don't think so, I am definitely a fan of the cooler temperatures, football being back (although, come on Irish - get your act in gear) and SKI SEASON being around the corner! In Colorado we've already had a few snow storms up in the mountains and I am so excited to get into it. In the mean time, I have a busy fall coming up with weddings, family events and the last minute stuff that already comes up.
What else have I been up to?
-
Finally took that exam I've been studying for all summer! Huzzah!
-
Re-watching the "Ocean's 11" series. Having finished the much awaited "Empire of Storms" by Sarah J. Maas had me thinking about how complex plot lines manage to come together.
-
Reading the archive of webcomic "Scandinavia and the World", which is a funny commentary on the state of the world, history and shenanigans from a Scandinavian viewpoint. Each character represents a country, but be fore-warned, it can be a little risque at times.
Book Haul:
-
I am excited to get into the new collections by J.K. Rowling although I've heard some mixed feedback on them so far: "Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies", "Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics and Pesky Poltergeists", "Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide"
-
"Thin Ice" by Mark Bowen - a book on ice cores taken from some of the highest peaks in the world
-
"Crooked Kingdom", the sequel to "Six of Crows" is not out quite yet, but I am SO excited!
Giveaways!
I haven't done a proper giveaway in a while - what would you most like to get? Books, bookish swag or a giftcard?
What are the books you've been digging into?
Happy Reading!
