Turning The Page On September

Happy October and welcome to my first monthly recap! I thought it would be fun to look back each month at some highlights, both book-related and personal. Here goes!

Books Read:
This might be the first month in a decade that I have only read one book in an entire month! As you can see here in my post about my disastrous summer of reading, I started several other books but didn't finish them. (image from Goodreads)


Book I'm Most Excited to Read in October:
There are lots of books coming out in October that I'm dying to read. But the finale of Veronica Roth's dystopian Divergent series is the one I really can't wait to get my hands on. (image from Goodreads)


Knitting Projects Completed:

Favorite Memory:

It's a tie... the top right picture is the morning our new toy was delivered, a '67 Camaro! The other three pictures are from the Wool Gathering fiber festival we went to at Young's Jersey Dairy in Yellow Springs, Ohio. I got some lovely yarn and fun handcrafted buttons, and it was so fun to see (and feel) so many different breeds of sheep -- plus alpacas!

Most Looking Forward to in October:
Oh, where to start? October is my favorite month -- fall, pumpkins, my birthday, Halloween, the beginnings of Christmas shopping... But I will say that I'm very excited to order my new camera, so be warned that my posts my be excessively picture-laden the next few weeks!
