I want a reading journal. I use StoryGraph, but I'm itching to be able to write things down. I don't know if I want to make one myself or buy one that's premade.

30th Book of the Year
Artificial Condition
Book two in the Murderbot Diaries
3⭐
It was OK. I much prefered the first book in the series. ART is a deux ex machina. Murderbot's employers are so naive. What was up with the comfortbot? Why was so much shoved into this short book?

If your birthday is ON or AROUND Christmas, and you only get one gift for both when people could afford both, they suck.
My favorite girl's birthday is ON Christmas, and in the morning it's Christmas and in the afternoon it's her birthday. She gets a cake and presents wrapped in appropriate paper.

How are we keeping track of who borrows our books? I loaned a book to a friend, COMPLETELY forgot about it, and freaked out when I went to show my kid.
Also, another friend has a book and I forgot about that as well.

My youngest FINALLY found a book they're interested in. The problem is that it's the first Harry Potter novel.
I don't want them to read it, but considering this is literally the only thing other than Elephant & Piggie they're interested in I might have to roll with it.

This is the 3rd in the Nothing is Promised series. What I love is how family is one of the themes of the book. Yes, it deals with a climate crises, and I love the science behind it, but I love the people more.

Atomic Habits by James Clear
I normally don't read self help books, but I must say I needed to listen to this. It explained why I self sabatoge. Not because I want to, but because I don't have a good system in place to start.

I just remembered I planned on doing tea reviews for my tea advent calendar. Here are the reviews for the first two days.
Christmas Time: black tea w/ flavorings.
No flavorings. All black tea. Solid tea.
English breakfast: you know what this is.
Of course it's good.
Would I buy either? Yes.

I love a good ol' Earl Gray. It's classic.

First ever Brandon Sanderson novel and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd love to see more of these characters, but from what I saw announced I doubt I will. Man is a machine.

I love that I have living room kids. Even my youngest who LOVES being alone in their room spends hours in the living room.
I'm trying to be the best parent I can be, and it's stuff like this that proves it's working.
