Hey all!
So sorry this has taken me so long to post! My husband and I had the distinct pleasure of spending 2 weeks in Europe in November, and then when we got home I found that the rest of the month had passed me up and I had failed to post anything!
So we are fixing that now!
November was spent in limbo for a while. With leaving for Europe on the 3rd, I didn't know what I was going to make as my 'daily do' while on vacation, so I just waited. When we arrived in Amsterdam we walked 17,000+ steps our first full day there. As a result, my husband and I were so sore that I spent a good 30 minutes stretching! (I was able to convince him to do about 2 minutes worth, but it was better than nothing!). That lead me to believe that that was how I would spend my month - stretching! It obviously made sense! We were walking the whole time we were in Europe, so why not?
And then we got on our river cruise and our room was a tiny little cruise ship room. I could touch my toes and stretch my calves, but that was about it. Time for plan B...but what was it?
Then I remembered I downloaded the book Discovery of Witches. Someone had recommended it, saying it was like a hybrid of Harry Potter and Twilight, and very long. So, I started reading. Overall, I would give the series about an 7.5-8/10: not amazing, but interesting enough for me to want to finish. Plus, she writes her trilogy in a way where the book's ending is like the dropping of the curtain at a theater show at intermission...it's a pause, but it's not done!!
So, 560+ pages into book one and I found myself done, but not satisfied. What to do? Read book 2! I continued in this fashion and suddenly I had finished the whole trilogy in 18 days!
Apparently, November was all about reading for enjoyment. Now, December will be about Reading for Self-Improvement.
PS - any book recommendations are welcome!
