Life was so busy I didn’t even do a September recap so I’m combining them!

Aside from the usual working and everyday activities, I finally went somewhere! I rode along with my friend Jenn and her stepdaughter as they had to get her back to California. So we made a road trip out of it and I went to a whole bunch of places I’ve never been: Denver, Arches National Park, Zion National Park, Big Sur, San Francisco, and more!

October was also the first month that Michael and I went on an actual trip together aside from just a couple of staycations. We went to Ohio to the Mohicans – secluded treehouses! – and went to the Ohio State Reformatory which I’ll be blogging about on Oddities and Curiosities.

What I’ve Been Reading…

I made a lofty goal to read 100 books in 2020. And, I’m happy to say, I’ve finished 75 books so far (at the end of October) and I’m pretty happy about that!

I’ve made a goal to read 100 books in 2020. Join me on Goodreads and on my new blog which is all about books and plants and coffee to read in-depth reviews!

Head over there to see everything I read in September and October!
