Off The Blog

Guess WHAT?!? The answer to all my sleep issues has been found out. It turns out I have a horrible case of Sleep Apnea, and I would quit breathing and wake up. I rarely enter the deep sleep that a person needs to feel fully rested and have all of their brainpower. I don’t have that machine thing yet as I am waiting on insurance to approve it. The almighty insurance people don’t care about my quality of sleep as it is going on two weeks now, but alas I feel a million times better just knowing that it is a fixable situation.

Hello, my #booksagram people! It has been a hot minute since I have posted on here. Now I am back! It is a long story why I went MIA, but that is a story for another post.

Going to try the book version⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Strange the dreamer The Gods and Monsters is on my all-time favorite series and right now I will even read the phone book is Lani Taylor wrote it⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Things you save in a Fire – Saw this on a blog somewhere also. I am sure it sounded like a good idea when I put it on hold.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nickel Boys- I was excited to read this until I saw that the abuse and the story were based on a REAL story, and I hope I can handle it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Last Book Party – This looked like a good book on the Library shelf⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The world according to Star Wars- I am a HUGE Sci-Fi nerd, so I grabbed it as soon as I saw it⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All Systems Red- Who can resit MUDERBOT?!

I spent most of my time last week asleep. I guess. My brain was so tired that it decided to sleep even if I did wake up a lot to start breathing again. I am anticipating have a massive block of readers sleep soon but this then I will take what I can get.

BUTTTTTT

I finished The Bookish Life of Nina Hill on ebook and Love and other Wild Things on audio reviews are coming soon, but I will say this now, I loved both!

What I plan to  read this week

I had a huge library haul (biggest one all year) at 11 books! I know I used to have massive library hauls before, but that was before my knees started copping out on me. I felt good last week, so I went to the library, and this is what I got:

What I plan to read this week

I really want to read about Murderbot I have the book out from the library so I will read that next. I have started listening to the Three Woman on audio on Scribd and I can tell it is gonna be one of those books that leave me enthralled. As for others, I am not sure yet. I have been big on “mood reading” the last couple of months so I shall see!

Appalachian Reckoning– I knew that the powers that be in da hillz would not let Hillbilly Elegy just pass and I was right! I was born and raised in South Eastern Ky and that is where I am at now. I did spend 20 years in a city and I feel as if I can see the whole picture or maybe I too am biased I really don’t know yet.

Apps that I did not know that I needed until I tried them

I am part of a mastermind and one blogger that I much admire told us about the whole Building a Second Brain course. I would LOOOVE to take it, but I am also saving up for some important stuff, so I have to limit my budget at the moment. So I put it on a course wishlist form I created in Airtable. Anyway, so  I have been pouring over the free material on that site and found out about the site of Readwise. It takes all your kindle or other ebook highlights, and you can do a million different things with that data including exporting all to Evernote! I am not sure at what all it does myself as I just found out about it last week and I am still on my free trial. But if it turns to that, I can figure out hoot do all the stuff it is supposed to then you can bet tour last dollar I will be upgrading!

What Made Me Happy Last Week

Getting way better with sleeping. I can even feel my creativity coming back!

Finishing two books!
