Restless, but Mindful

That's right. 

As a result of my (totally) cluttered brain, this month has been one big ball of restless-minded energy. Yet, I've still managed to concentrate long enough to read quite a bit and haven't stopped thinking about my future WIPs.

But first, how has this May be treating you? Are you focused, or is your mind wandering as well? Did you get much done?

We went to watch the latest JOHN WICK movie, and it was a lot of violent fun. What's there not to like in a world full of assassins that keeps expanding, has plenty of adorable doggies and Keanu Reeves? I know it's cool to like him now, but I've been a Keanu fan since I was a teenager. LOL. Oh, and how could I not mention the brutal scene in the library?!

THAT alone is worth the price of admission. I've always thought big, heavy tomes could be used as weapons... but John Wick takes this concept to the next level! It's almost poetic. 😯

So, I mentioned reading. These are the stories I've lost myself in during the last few weeks:

• DUST DEVILS by Jonathan Janz
• GOOD OMENS by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
• RED AS BLOOD AND WHITE AS BONE by Theodora Goss
• GHOST MINE by Hunter Shea
• STIRRING THE SHEETS by Chad Lutzke
• THE FORGOTTEN LETTERS OF ESTHER DURRANT by Kayte Nunn

I'm currently reading my last Flame Tree Press ARC, which also happens to be the final review book left on my TBR pile. 😲

I have to admit that I'm actually looking forward to getting back the freedom to read whatever the hell I want, whenever I feel like it. Don't get me wrong, I love reading review books and am super grateful for getting the chance to do so, but sometimes you just need a break, you know?

I have a lot of thoughts on the subject. Maybe this is something I'll blog more about another time. Yeah. I think I will.

Anyway, we've been doing plenty of thrifting, bargain hunting and walking. Of course! It's been a month full of stuff and feels like it's going way too fast.

Things are changing in our lives at the moment. For starters, our daughter is leaving the country soon. So, yeah, there are some pretty heavy changes going on around here right now.

Feels like we're moving into a new phase.

Well, that's it for now.

Have a great week! 😃
