Oof. I’ve been struggling a bit with blogging lately, mainly due to life distractions (nothing bad- just a lot of living going on.) But I know the perfect cure for a blogging slump- NABLOPOMO!!!
NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) starts on November 1st, and the goal is to publish a blog post for each day of the month. San will be our fearless leader as always, and she explains it all here.
I’m really excited. I’ve participated in NaBloPoMo every year since 2021, making this my SIXTH YEAR. I’ve met most of my best blogging friends through NaBloPoMo, and I see on San’s list that there are people signed up for 2026 that I don’t know yet- new friends!
Meanwhile… here are a few scenes from my week.
I finished it! I REALLY liked this book. This was the first thing I’ve read by this author, which I know is crazy. The Lola Quartet has been on my TBR for a long time- should I read that one next?
I went to Trader Joe’s! And they had the cat advent calendars- I was excited to get one, because sometimes they sell out before I can buy one. I guess the key is to go in October. They also still had the fall leaf chips, which will go on my “fall back” charcuterie board Sunday.
I went to a used bookstore (Engie- cover your eyes…)
I know, this place is a mess! But I also love it, and had a lot of fun prowling around. I was looking for some very specific books on my TBR that I can’t find at the library, but had no success. I ended up buying an Agatha Christie though, which will be a reread for me.
That’s it- see you on November 1st!
Which ESJM book should I read next?
Do you like used bookstores?
