Oops!

So it's been a minute or two… hey! How's it going?

Here's what's new in my life!

  • I moved to Amherst in June and will be living here in an apartment with my best bud Sam until August, when I will be moving back to Mount Holyoke. 
  • I am working as a nanny 4 days a week and doing occasional sitting too many days a week after work.
  • Life is sweet!
Hmm… I thought things were more interesting but that seems to be the end of my list. Because I'm nannying I've been reading a lot of awesome children's lit and reliving some memories (shout out to you Ms. Nelson Is Missing!) But it's a little hard to just pause Native Son to refill a sippy cup or make sure a certain spunky two year old isn't flushing puzzle pieces down the toilet again and just pick it back up. 

So! I've decided to try to get back into my summer reading by being organized and making lists as I always do. (Plus, rest time is the perfect time to read something heavier than Dr. Seuss -- although dude's pretty heavy, let's be real). I've read two great books since June that I will review here, but before I do that, here is my actual comprehensive, and teensy, TO READ list (hopefully to be completed before school starts up again):

To Read: 
- Patricia Lockwood's 'Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals' (Really excited about this one! Just ordered it via Amazon)
- Keith Ridgway's Never Love A Gambler (Also just ordered, super stoked!)
- Courtney Maum's I Am Having So Much Fun Here Without You 

I also have some exciting stuff I will be talking about in some future posts when some stuff is more concrete.

Thanks for stopping by!
