my books. my life.

I meant to post last Sunday. And then I thought it was scheduled for Wednesday. And now (Saturday) I am realizing that it never actually posted. So, here you go. My October Recap. Just a little late.

Reader

In October, I read:

• The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling) | audio
• The Preservationist by Justin Kramon | print
• Astray by Emma Donoghue | audio
• Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell | print
• The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black | audio

I also reviewed Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock.

Dancer

I was forced to take a little break due to a shoulder injury (muscle memory is a killer when you’re trying to keep an arm still). But I’m back now and my shoulder is definitely starting to get better with physcial therapy.

Runner

So, with the shoulder injury, I was pretty much forced to run if I wanted to exercise. I’ve been going somewhat regularly and ran a 5k on Sunday (but that was November so I can’t talk about it until next month). The weather is nice and running has been a good way to enjoy it.

Photographer

Still taking pictures. Still learning. Still lusting after new lenses, etc. I posted a bunch of photos this month: Discovery Park; Autumn in Michigan; My Little Pumpkin; City Walk; Delicious Crayons.

Mom

Evan is 17 months old. He’s just starting to talk and sign and it is amazing to be able to communicate with him better. He’s also getting up early and really starting to cry when he doesn’t get his way. But I love him anyway.
