I'm totally loving Olivia Rodrigo's album "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love". It's awesome!
I also got a fun new game to play. It's called Trailblazer: Hiking the John Muir Trail. It has lots of pieces and parts and takes about 2 hours to play, but I like it. Up to 4 people can play at one time, and there's also a solo version. I'm eager to play it again.

For me, the end of August/beginning of September means canning season, and I've been busy bottling peaches and pears and making zucchini relish and blackberry jam. We had early blossoms followed by hard frosts this past spring here in Utah, so I couldn't get any Gala apples to do applesauce this time around. Hopefully next year. Canning always cuts into my reading time, but nothing beats eating yummy bottled fruit from off your own shelf all winter long.
And while I read several really good books last month, I also ended up DNFing six. Which is unusual for me. I don't know if I was stressed, running extra tired, or just too impatient to deal with slower plots, aggravating or unlikeable characters, or stories that felt like they were going nowhere like The Correspondent. But I just couldn't make myself finish any of those six books. I'm hoping for better books this month. And more reading patience.
Happy Reading!
'Trailblazer' sounds interesting. I'm presently obsessed with a game called 'The Long Dark' which is a walking survival game based in Canada. Essentially you're on your own in a frozen landscape with no monsters, no zombies or aliens or killer robots and the object is simply to explore an empty world and survive.... It's VERY peaceful & restful even with the odd blizzard or wolf. SO different from what I usually play!
