Happy last Friday of summer!! What are you reading?
How do you like it so far? Is it for any of the challenges?
What are you looking forward to most or least this fall?
Friday, December 28 2012. The day I had emergency appendix surgery in Mexico and quit smoking. Proof that everything has a good side!! DH and I are happily child-free!! No due date or toddler tickers here!!

Re: Happy last Friday of summer!! What are you reading?
I'm still chugging my way along through A Reliable Wife. It's ok so far -- not sure what to think of it. It's for book club on Wednesday, so I need to really get moving if I want to finish. It's #23/30 for the year.
I'm looking forward to cozy sweaters and eating warm soups this fall. I'm not looking forward to knowing that winter is right around the corner.

I will finish listening to Succubus Blues today.
I am looking forward to moving!!! Oh and decorating my 25+ pumpkins that we grew this year.
I'm going to start a re-listen of Outlander today. I miss it and I want to drive back in. #52
When I finish these two, I will have hit my goal for the year! \:D/
ETA: I'm most looking forward to Wes's first birthday. I will be celebrating with a giant bottle of wine thankful that we all survived. The first months were rough, so it's really time to celebrate!

Wes: 10/8/2012
I am about halfway through listening to The Dream Thieves, which is intriguing. I am still about 3 pages into Enchanted - I haven't read anything this week, which is really unusual for me.
I love fall foods - soups, stews, chilis, etc. I like to have something simmering on the stove while I work around the house or read.
I started listening to Room this morning on my drive into work. I tried reading it earlier this year and gave up because I couldn't get into it.
I will finally be starting And the Mountains Echoed this weekend \:D/ , it finally became available from the library. These will be #62 and 63 for the year.
ETA: This fall I'm looking forward to our 1 year anniversary, apple picking, decorating our house for fall, planting our spring bulbs, and Thanksgiving.
I love pumpkin patches and apple cider donuts and hayrides most about fall!
Started a Harry Potter re-read just because. About 25% in to The Sorcerer's Stone.
#s74 and 75 for the year. I'm going to see if I can push a make 100 this year.
ETA: I love EVERYTHING about fall. I'm least looking forward to it going by so quickly because our calender is so jam-packed.

I'm reading 1984 and I'm just not so sure about it right now - #38 and listening to Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls and I only have about 30 mins. left in the book so I'll finish soon here - #39.
I'm looking forward to everything pumpkin and apple this Fall plus decorating for Halloween. I'm not looking forward to the possibility of snow before December..
my read shelf:
What I'm not looking forward to: cold temperatures that I'm not used to anymore. I'll be missing SoCal big time.
What I AM looking forward to: my trip to Europe!

2014 Reading Goal: 85
I can't believe it's taken me this long. I even had the ARC of Rode Under Fire from ALA, but I'm just now getting to CNV.

Fall is my favorite season, our anniversary is in a few weeks, and the temperature drops below 90. I'm most dreading not having Pumpkin Spice lattes from Starbucks. They're my favorite, but I have to limit my caffeine.
