Library

   

I only picked up two physical books this week: The Girl on the Train  by Paula Hawkins and Lumberjanes, Vol. 1.  I've started the first, but I'm only 28 pages in (hopefully that will change with the 24 hour readathon today) and loving it. I can't wait to read more.

When I need a break, I will definitely pick up the graphic novel. From what I've seen so far, the artwork is stunning. 

Netgalley

   

I literally know nothing about Olivay,  which is intentional. I want to go into this one blind. 

I only know slightly more about the second. It's a middle grade nonfiction. Going in blind is my favorite. Do you ever do that?

Life Update

 I did it! I did my first (and maybe only) half marathon. I walked the majority of it, almost cried three times, hated myself at mile 10, hit the notorious wall, and then felt amazing (except not physically).

I'm almost positive my legs are in the process of revolting aka falling off. I only have three blisters and minor sunburn on my arms and chest. It's honestly an answered prayer that it there wasn't a constant downpour. I did it entirely by myself, but I was not without support. A group from our church did it. Look how happy we are before we started. 


It didn't last long. I am the one on the far right repping the Atlanta Braves, even though they aren't my favorite baseball team. 

While I am almost positive my legs are going to fall off at some point, I am so happy I did it (and before I was even 18 too!).

Also, in less exciting news, I finished all ten seasons of Grey's Anatomy on Netflix (no spoilers for season 11 in the comments please!), and I started watching Lost (for the second time). I kind of regret it, but then again I don't.


How have your weeks been? Did you get any books?

Tell me down in the comments!

Happy Reading!
