LCPL wrote: "Happy Friday! Hope you had a great week! What does everyone plan on reading this weekend?"

I'm planning on finishing I Was a Teenage Slasher by SGJ. I'm actually having such a good time with it. I don't want to speak too soon, but I'm sensing a five-star rating.

It's taking me longer in Circe because I'm annotating, but I do want to get further in that too.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What movie(s) do you enjoy watching during the fall season?"

I don't really watch movies based on the season/holiday. I do tend to watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles around the last part of the year. I also plan to re-watch Beetlejuice before the new one comes out in theaters!

LCPL wrote: "This or That: Dark academia books or dark romance books?"

Yeah, I don't read either, but it would definitely be dark academia if I did.

LCPL wrote: "Happy Wednesday! What have you recently finished reading? What are you currently reading? What do you plan on reading next?"

Unfortunately, no update.

I went clothes shopping and actually found a few pieces I really liked.

I also got a cool desk chair that was on sale.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What is one of your favorite meals and/or treats to make? (Since fall is quickly approaching, these can be fall recipes for inspo.)"

I love to bake. I'd say cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip cookies, or banana bread are my favorite treats.

I found some vegetarian apple & sage sausages that I like to fry up and eat with peppers, onions, sriracha, and kewpie mayo. As a side I'll usually make mac n cheese. That's been a new favorite meal to make.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Do you have any fun, exciting plans this weekend? Cozy, bookish plans?"

I don't have any plans.

Probably a bit of I Was a Teenage Slasher and Circe.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What are some of your favorite ways to practice self-care?"

Getting enough sleep.
Sitting outside when the weather is nice enough.
Creating things (crocheting, drawing, painting, etc)

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What's Up Wednesday - What are you currently reading, watching, listening to, playing, loving, etc.?"

Currently reading: Circe by Madeline Miller, Giant Days vol 7 by John Allison, and I Was a Teenage Slasher by SGJ.

Watching: I've been watching a lot of streamers play a game called Still Wakes the Deep. The voice acting in the game is so good.

Listening: I've been listening to a lot of Soundgarden / Audioslave and some Bill Withers.

Playing: I've been obsessed with Cluedo after learning it's on Steam.

Loving: I'm still loving crocheting. I've also been sitting outside in the evenings and reading. I know it's supposed to get hot again, but the 70 degree weather has been amazing.
I also have a tennis ball shooter that I use to play with my dog, and she loves it so much so I've been enjoying watching her have fun with that.

No update this week.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What are you looking forward to most this upcoming fall season?"

Cooler weather. Cozier vibes.

LCPL wrote: "Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend. What do you currently have checked out from the library?"

Mina's Matchbox by Yoko Ogawa
The Private Lives of Trees by Alejandro Zambra
Coexistence by Billy-Ray Belcourt

My main focus will be Circe, but I also want to get in a few pages from I Was a Teenage Slasher.

I just want to catch up on reading.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What bookish world do you wish actually existed?"

I don't think there is a bookish world I'd want to live in. It's either too real or too scary.

LCPL wrote: "This or That: Hogwarts or Middle Earth? Which world would you rather live in?"

Middle Earth. I love the LOTR series.
