Hi Katie!
Cloud Cuckoo Land was really good but I also have to wait until I’m in the right mood to read a certain book. I agree with what you said about modern fiction being too much. Most of the books that I read are because my mom has recommended them. I also read a lot of children’s books because for one thing, they’re not too heavy and for another, I like to see what my kids are reading. I read the Hunger Games series recently which was interesting and then the series that starts with
Divergent which I thought was pretty good. I love Liane Moriarty though I didn’t think her most recent one was nearly as good as
Nine Perfect Strangers which I love so much I’ve read twice and will probably read again in a few years. The problem with that one (9PS) was the first time I read it (on the Kindle app) I decided I’d finish it that night though I wasn’t willing to see how much was left. I avoided looking at a clock but I stayed up waaay too late. It wasn’t light yet but who knows what time it was. So it’s best for me to read books that are good, but not so good that I’m tempted to stay up all night.
Stephanie, thanks for stopping by! Whatever it takes to get some “exercise” in, right?
Thank YOU for being a dependable poster! I am so inspired by your goals. Sometimes the very act of me setting a goal causes me to immediately sabotage myself. By setting small/vague goals it’s like tricking my subconscious (or whatever) into doing what I want.
This week though I have truly no food goals besides my (1) and (2) which today were both a
(and I exercised: first day of 2-1) because I’m alone with my kids for a week and sometimes I just need (want) a spoonful of brown sugar right out of the bag in the freezer. I love them and we have a great time but I’ve learned from experience that it’s not a good time to also, say, do a Mary’s Mini or something. Yet it always seems like a good idea at the time since my husband is not home and so we don’t have to have as dinnerish of an evening meal. Anyways, we’re going to my parents for the 4th of July so I’ll just have to really tighten up after that before our weeklong trip to New England towards the end of the month.
