#24 -- read 24 books in a year

I FINALLY finished Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness last night. It took so long! I didn't love it, and it felt like she was setting it up for the sequel. There was never any climax. It's really unfortunate..

Oh well! On to the next!

13 down -- 11 to go! eek!

This is what I've been up to...

#24 -- read 24 books in 1 year

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton

12 down - 12 to go! Half way there!!

#24 -- Read 24 books in 1 year

The Giver by Lois Lowry

11 down - 13 to go!

#24 -- Read 24 books in 1 year

Last night, I finished This Is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper. It was a great story of family and struggle.

10 down - 14 to go!

#60 -- Learn to Sew

I have always wanted to learn how to sew, and to use a sewing machine. A good friend of mine was gracious enough to let me borrow his (and I've kind of adopted it as my own).

I still need A LOT of practice.

but not too shabby if I do say so myself.

#28 -- Witness a Solar Eclipse

Last night, at 5:24 P.M., California witnessed its first solar eclipse since 1994. I didn't have a pinhole box, but was able to snap a few shots with my iPhone! Stunning!!
