Happy New Year

 


Here's to a new year and new goals and experiences! I'm setting some goals (how original?!) concerning books, my health-both mental and body, and financial. This new blog is going to be a place for me to dump my thoughts about things that make me happy. You will see book reviews, movie and tv show reviews, music stuff, and just anything that I'm focused on in general. 


Bookish Goals: 

I plan on reading 50 books this year. There will be a list on the sidebar of what I've read.

I plan on reviewing at least one book a week. 

Body/Health Goals:

I want to lose 20lbs minimum. I'd love more but 20 seems more reasonable.

I want to hit 10k steps a day. 

I want to do one 30 minute workout a day. 

Drink more water and less caffeine.

Stick to my weight watcher's (not endorsed) points a day. 

Financial Goals:

Be more frugal. 

Save at least 1k by the end of the year. (More would be lovely but things be costing a lot now!)

Find some side hustles that don't involve MLM's or selling things.


I think that these are all reasonable and do-able goals. 

So what are you goals for 2024? Are you putting some out there into the universe or just winging it?

The Secret History by Donna Tart (Spoilers)

Image
 So I have had this book on my shelf for years, I honestly do not remember how or when I acquired it but it's been just sitting there collecting dust. I've recently discovered (very late) Booktube and this was on a few of the lists. I figured why not?  I spent the first hundred or so pages kind of like...okay so this is a book about rich douchebags being douchey..what's so secret about that? That's when the IT hits the SHAN. Things had percolated so well that it kind of  made me do a Shatner. So it went from zero to a bijillionity in like 50 pages and I was not sure I was ready for it! I honesty didn't know what to think. This book too me for a ride. I didn't like any of the characters at their core. Even Richard, our main man, had me shaking my head. Like bro, I know you are wanting to be considered part of the group but once you find out that part of that group has murdered someone in their own yard in the middle of some douchey rich bro's bacchanal ritual...

2024 Sci fi Readathon-I'm In!!!

Image
  So it's June! A new month. A new chance to get caught up with my reading goals. I'm joining along with the SciFi Summer Readathon (click the button to join along too!) this month. I am giving up on sticking to a proper schedule but I will be making updates as the month goes along.  It IS a scifi readathon, so it's encouraged to read in this genre or fantasy if you prefer. I may try to sneak in a Fantasy read as scifi isn't exactly my schtick...though I will see about finding one that might tickly my fancy.  My very tentative #TBR stack is as follows: It by Stephen King (to finish) Misery by Stephen King Pet Sematary by Stephen King  Blook at the Roots by  LaDarrion Williams   Doctor Sleep by Stephen King (finish) Red Rising by Pierce Brown  I am wanting to finish up the books I started in previous months and on top of that get 5 books read this month. I have quit a bit of school work to catch up on and I want to chip away at my savings goal by...
