I'm back! An update and the books I've been reading...

I don't know if anyone at all is reading this, but I want to apologize for not posting in a timely fashion. Been a crazy year full of ups and downs which I won't go into, but I'm moving in between grief and joy simultaneously, as I've lost a lot this past year and gained so much too.

My big news is...
I'm engaged! We met sometime after I split with my ex of four years, and we've been engaged since June. We're shooting for 2020, as we want to wait till he's done his schooling, but I'm excited nonetheless. Even though he works full time now, on weekends we go on adventures to various thrift stores, bookshops...flea markets are my favorite. I will post pictures here, but you can also see them through my Google+ account.
To the right is a picture of my fiancee, Cody.

I have been reading a lot, especially childrens books through open library, (and some fic and non fic too) including The Adventures of Miss Petitfour (a new favorite), Two In A Tent (a 1970s childrens picture book about nature) The Trouble with MagicThe Plant Sitter, The Noisy Clock ShopAmeliar Anne and The Green Umbrella, as well as a non-fiction book full of pictures and information about one of my favorite actresses, Alice Faye. I did attempt to read Mrs. Miniver but unfortunately for me it started off charming and got remarkably dull. 

I will be updating more, I promise. I'm kind of stuck deciding what to read next, even though I've got more than 600 books on my TBR list! I'm thinking of re-reading a favorite or picking up another book I own from an author I enjoyed.

Cody is away all of this week *sad face* but it means I have more free time to read too, so I think I'll go out on my deck today...

New review will be coming soon, if I can get out of this slump..
