Here is the penultimate quarter of my reading challenge for 2020.
July, August, September
And in a honesty it hasn’t been a very impressive one. I’ve found myself quite busy and unable to focus, as well as I would like, on my reading, which is a bit annoying.
But, none the less, here we are!
Lets have a look at what I have read during this quarter…
Books I’ve read:
Just Mercy: A story of justice and redemption By Bryan Stevenson
Cuckoos Calling By Robert Galbraith
Roald Dahl‘s Book of Ghost Stories
The Notebook by Nicholas Sparkes
Sorry Not Sorry By Naya Rivera
This quarter was quite a mixed bag.
Just Mercy was more of an ‘educate myself’ book choice and that it has been.
The injustice of the American ‘justice’ system is abhorrent and it’s definatly an eye opener in terms of how easy some people have it and how some people have so much power just because of the race/family/country they are born in.
I have been meaning to read the Robert Galbraith books for a very long time and I just haven’t got round to it.
I am glad that I finally did because I really enjoyed it and I loved the characters especially.
I have read The Notebook several times but it is a Nicholas Sparks fave of mine and I just fancied going back to it. I read it in just over a day and it was great.
I have quite a few books ready and waiting for the final quarter and I want to make it a goodun’.
I’ve got a Christmas book blog post idea too!
Also, you can check out my Insta ‘RoseannesBlog’ as I post regularly on there too.
Pets make a great addition to any family, they are someone to cuddle, someone to talk to, someone to look after, someone to love.
This probably seems like a really random blog post but I started this blog to document one of the most important days of my life (our wedding) and since then I have found it my place to write about the things I like, that make me, me as well as the things that are important to me in my life.
I’m so sad to say that our guinea pig Captain died yesterday, Sunday 20th September 2020 😭💛 He was such a lovely chap! An old boy at 6 years and 2 months old. Our first pet together (with Remus 💚) back in 2014, when we moved into our flat.
You were adorable when we saw you at Pets at Home, we both knew you were coming home with us! We’ll miss you squeaking to say hello (or FEED ME) as we come in the front/lounge door.
Thanks for being my little lockdown buddy.. you were great company!
We’ll miss you Captain (Gothmog) Byford💛 🐹 . RIP Buddy X
I did a spot of baking this weekend after a busy week at work. I find it quite relaxing (as long as the recipe is simple!)
I made a Banoffee pie for a family BBQ (Link to my blog post recipe here ) & a banana bread cake. This one is for my mum. I had plenty of left over, very ripe bananas!
I love documenting what we get up to in the Summer holidays.
Though thanks to Covid we didnt actually have a Summer ‘holiday’, I also didn’t have to work this Summer, so I had all six weeks to enjoy, have fun and relax ready for Sept!
So, without further ado, let’s have a look at what we got up to…
You’re starting school today, But weren’t you tiny just yesterday? How can it be? Didn’t you just turn three? . You’re starting school today, Little forever I wish you’d stay, It makes me both happy and sad, But the little boy you’ve become, hes pretty rad. . You’re starting school today, They grow up quick they say, I’m so proud that I could burst, I can’t wait to see you ace yet another ‘first’. . You’re starting school today, My little Casey James you’ll stay, Your going to be amazing, hilarious, the class clown, Especially with your sassy frown. . You’re staying school today, Have fun, makes friends and play, Off on adventures on your own, Running crazy, accident prone. . You’re starting school today, It seems scary, you’ll be ok, At school I know you will be great, Now it’s your time to go through that gate. . You’re starting school today
