In My Reading Life
I read three books last week! Two of them were
children’s books, but still, that hardly ever happens. I read A Wrinkle in Time and A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L’Engle.
Then I read Black Like Me by John
Howard Griffin. Right now I’m rereading To
Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
In The Rest of My Life
Five things that made me happy last week:
- It was my birthday on Friday. Though, I’m not sure if this made me happy. I’m getting depressingly close to turning 30, and I’m still failing hardcore at adulthood.
- I ate chocolate cake. Lots and lots of chocolate cake.
- My mom attempted to make baked churros for my birthday. It didn’t work because churros need to be fried, but I appreciate the effort.
- My parents are buying me a new camera for my birthday. My old one died. Probably because I hiked through a sandstorm with it a few months ago.
- I got a lot of reading done and caught up on my Goodreads challenge.
I hope you had a great
week! See you around the blogosphere!
I'm going to check out your review of Illuminae now! I'm not sure how I missed it! I've really been wanting to reread A Wrinkle In Time too. I haven't read it since elementary school! And happy late birthday! I feel you on pushing 30! XD
ReplyDeleteHere's my Weekly Recap!
Thanks! I loved Illuminae but did not love A Wrinkle in Time.

Happy belated birthday... I know what you mean about adulting. I'm in my late 40s (still single) and though I've been living alone (and still alive and kicking) since my mid 20s I mostly have no idea WTF I'm doing!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It’s good to know that I’m not the only one failing at adulting. :)

Happy birthday! Nothing like chocolate therapy right? Hummmm baked churros??? Sacrilege! :) looking forward to see the new pics you'll post taken with the new camera :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I’m excited for the new camera too. I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet because I’ve been busy with other stuff.

Any week with chocolate cake and birthdays is a good week! Happy birthday! I am always proud when I am able to read more books in a week than I usually do. Good for you! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Chocolate cake is one of the best things in the world. :)
