No Tricks, Just Treats

Happy Fall, Ya’ll!

We’re already at the end of the second ‘ber month! The end of summer and the beginning of Fall have flown by, and I feel like this month vanished before I could set any real goals.

Slowing down is never a bad thing, so that’s what I tried to do this month. One thing I am especially proud of this year is thrifting about 80% of all of the Halloween costumes for myself and three kiddos (and trust me, there were a silly amount of costumes we had to come up with). Any other Goodwill-fanatics out there?

Now for your October updates:

It has been a slooooooow month for writing. I’m attempting to kick things back up in November, starting with a line writing course with the infamous (to me and many other aspiring writers) Cece Lyra.

I will also be piecing together a new resource for holiday shopping this year: a book guide for books to gift children on my blog. Children’s book authors, head this way to learn more and fill out the interest form!

I knocked out three books this month and started two more — I started 100 Years of Lenni and Margot and then paused to use my Spotify listening hours with The Silent Patient. A sin in the reading world, I know).

All of my reads were at least four stars this month (the benefits of having a bookstagrammer as a sister who recommends solid reads): The Invincible Summer of Juniper Jones, Where the Forest Meets the Stars, and Before We Were Yours.

I’ve left ratings and reviews for all over on my GoodReads!

• Always wondering about the mushroom coffee I’m sipping in my IG posts? You can grab yours here.

• Reviews go a long way for authors — if you’ve read The ABCs of Homesteading for Kids, please consider leaving a review on Amazon or Goodreads!

See you all next month!
