so, my first post in a long time is just a list of books. but, if you like to read too, you can appreciate that.
i will try to think of something more interesting to write about that is blog-writable sometime soon. you may have to wait for an email update to hear about really interesting stuff though, because the sweet stuff that has been happening is work-related. but i do have some pictures of my apartment up on fb! (check out "2011 november)
maybe i will post some here eventually too.
Wow, that's a lot of books. Haha, I can only read one at a time. Megan Phillips gave me a monster hunting book and when I was reading that, I didn't want to read anything else.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a lot of books, and quite a wide variety. :) I'm impressed you can read that many at one time. My maximum seems to be 3. Hope this finds you doing well.
