Happy December Reader Friends! Cue the usual "I can't believe it's already December" speech...but seriously. How is it already December? I'm good with it though. I have one more week of teaching before winter break and honestly, as I sit here having a mini reflection...it's actually been a pretty good year. I'm going to save the sappy wrap-up for later though and instead jump in with some highlights.

What I'm Reading:

I love reading mysteries when it's cold and gloomy out! I'm currently reading Katie Oliver's Cyanide and Sensibility, the third in her "Jane Austen Tea Society Mystery Series." I'll be back on Wednesday with a review for this one, as well as the first two books! Additionally, I'm finally getting to Agatha Christie's short story collection Midwinter Murder. I love reading a short story a day and taking my time! So far, I've read one story and it was slightly creepy with an ending I did not expect! I adore Christie and she gets me every time.

What I'm Watching:

As usual, I really haven't been watching anything new. I have been in a post-Bake Off depression (the show brings me ALL THE JOY) and have been spending so much time playing Dreamlight Valley that I haven't watched much. However! My boyfriend and I are slowly making our way through a Marvel movie rewatch in timeline order. We just finished Ant-Man and I'm ready-but-not-ready to watch Captain America: Civil War. We're also slowly rewatching Doctor Who and I made him start watching Buffy!

What I'm Listening To:

My Christmas music playlist--I add a little to this one every year! I've also been listening to my 2023 Spotify Wrapped playlist and of course, Taylor.

What I'm Working On:

I've finally had a couple of mini-creative breakthroughs this past week. My brain is feeling more amenable to review writing, and I wrote over 1000 words in my book after ignoring it for over a month.

Shameless plug here--I created two bookish spreadsheets that I have decided to sell! You can find these here and on the "Support Me" page of this blog! 🙂 I've discovered a love for building spreadsheets (lol) and it was fun learning how to build these two!
