Catching up

Well, hello all. It has been quite some time since I posted, much longer than I had hoped. I've had a few things going on.

I renovated my kitchen. Out with the old, in with the new. I got rid of the old cupboards, counter and floor. I've put in a new ceramic tile floor and all new cupboards. This turned out to be a lot harder than I expected. I had a huge amount of issues with the floor. The tiles didn't want to stick, so I had redo them. We had some breakage issues as well when moving the fridge, but all in all, things seemed to have settled down alright. All that remains is removing the remaining bits of wallpaper and to paint the walls. I am beyond excited for the final results. I'll post pics when I am finished.

A friend of mine is doing a sort of challenge. 52 books in 52 weeks. I will aim to read 52 books this year. Here is the list so far this year:

1) Too close to Home by Linwood Barclay
2) The Help by Kathryn Stockett
3) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
4) Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
5) Mocking Jay by Suzanne Collins

I am currently reading The Vow and The Descendants. I am still reading the Game of Thrones set as well. I'll keep updating the list.

I've started a book club. It's called Book Ends Book Club. The group exists on facebook, and we meet once a month in a Tinychat chat room  Feel free to join. Book Ends Book Club

I've also begun writing another story. We'll see where it leads.
