I have to work, so I'll read as much as I can and work on crochet projects.

I'll definitely finish Giant Days vol. 5 by John Allison and possibly The Wall by Marlen Haushofer.

Um...I don't know if I have one. I don't watch enough movies to even know.

Oh no, I was going to read Told by Starlight in Chad. What was wrong with it, if you don't mind me asking?

I was listening to Whitney Houston and some Red Hot Chili Peppers before coming into work.

LCPL wrote: "Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Wish Had More Pages In Them"

I'm usually complaining a book is too long so this list is going to be short.

The only one I wanted more of was Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin. I really didn't want it to end and it's already a short read.

I don't think I have anything new.

Go to bed at a decent time. My sleep schedule is garbage right now.
