January was a busy reading month for me. Because of that, I could complete all my reading challenges for the month!! Woot!!
It was also a busy month, personally, for me. The highlights of this month are:
- Miss B left her dual high school and college credits program.
- Snickers going to the emergency vet with a bloody eye. She came home with a torn tear duct and a torn lower lid.
- BK going back to traveling each week
- And my not-so-great, horrible week last week.
BK and I have been watching Game of Thrones (we’re on season 7), and we started watching The Last of Us.
I have been experimenting with new cooking recipes. I made a Greek Lemon Chicken Orzo soup with Miss R last week.
As always, let me know if you have read any of these books and (if you did) what you thought of them.
