I've watched a scary movie almost every night since the first. Now I just need a few spooky reads. The weather has finally gotten cooler. And I can't wait to bake.

This Week  The last few weeks have been HOT.  Luckily for me, that meant minimal cooking. I'm ready for fall temps. I want to bake, drink hot chocolate, and wear cozy sweaters. I'm enjoying my library card/Libby app. It's helped me read a few more audiobooks. I got to read the last book in a series that wasn't available on KU yet.

My baby brother registered on Tuesday for his senior year. While he did that, I renewed my library card and spent some time reading in the library. I even downloaded the Libby app, so I can check out e-books or audiobooks. I've already borrowed a title from my long TBR. We also applied for our passports. We're not planning on traveling anytime soon.  Currently Reading Currently Watching Currently Listening What are you currently reading, watching, and listening to? Have a Great Week! xoxo Alicia  

  Wow!  It's the halfway point of the year, and time to check in on the Audiobook Challenge, hosted by    Caffeinated Reviewer  and  That’s What I’m Talking About .  So far, I've read 7 audiobooks and I'm listening to the eighth.  I chose Binge Listener as my goal for the year. I feel behind because I thought I'd get along a little further during June. I have the rest of the year to meet my goal. The link above is to my Goodreads, if you want to be friends. I'm off to read!

This Week My mom has been in town for the last two months. Sadly, she is heading back to her house later today. My other brother has also been in town and we got to celebrate his birthday with him. Mom will be back in August. A cute cat I saw on Insta. This month has been wild. I had to get a newish phone because my old one fell into a bucket of water. Thank goodness for the phone insurance. I went to an uncle's funeral. He was the last of my grandfather's brothers. Being in the L.A. area means it's been stressful with all the kidnappings happening around here. I hate that this is happening to innocent people. I was dropped from two ...

This Week I can't believe the last time I did a Sunday Post was in March! I've been dog sitting since the first week of May. I do this yearly for my grandmother. Lulu is sweet and pretty easy. She's fourteen and has plenty of puppy moments between naps. I'm still working in purging stuff around the house. The 100 Day Project is done but I'm still working my way through the challenge and I started the ICAD challenge. I have two audiobooks started for the June Audiobook Challenge. So I'm gonna go get back to it. Currently Reading Currently Watching Currently Listening What Are You Currently Reading, Watching, and Listening ...

This Week I did not mean to take this long between posting a Sunday Post. Last week, the temperatures here were in the 80s, and they are dropping down to the mid-50s this week. I'm happy it'll be cooler again. I've slowly started to purge some things.  I started a box for clothing. I'm filling the recycle bin.  I had to visit the DMV twice. I needed to upgrade to the RealID. I started the 100 Day Project.

Reading took a backseat as we dealt with evacuating and getting back home.  I've been back in my house for a week now but we've had no gas. So no heat, hot water or cooking. It's been a little hectic but I'm lucky. My Aunt, Uncle and cousins lost their home in the fire. Altadena might not be my hometown but it is my neighbor and it's overwhelming to see it destroyed.

  This is a snapshot of my Goodreads stats. I exceeded my reading goal. Which I love. I think I'll keep 200 as my goal for 2025. I still have quite a few NetGalley ARCs that I need to finish, so I need to work on that next year. I chose Binge Listener as my Goal for 2024, which was 20-30 books. I only managed to read 11 audiobooks last year. I'm not sure if I should keep the same goal or lower it. Happy Reading

I tried savoring them as much as possible, especially with my Mom and brother in town. We went out to dinner on Friday for my 46th birthday. We had Vietnamese and it was delicious. These last few days of the month feel like they are flying by. I don't feel ready to ring in the New Year. My plan is to snuggle up on the couch and read.

This Week I caught a cold early in the week, so I was dealing with fever, body aches, and congestion. It meant a lot of sleeping and a few days of not cooking, which I was grateful for. Now, I'm just dealing with a lingering cough. I'm usually sick later in the month maybe this means I'll be able to go out for my birthday. And how is the month half way over?
