Month in Review: November 2014

Hello December!!! How is it that the holiday season is once again upon us? I feel so unprepared…last year by this time, I had all my shopping done! This year – not even close! Problem is, I still am not sure what to buy for half the people (mainly nieces/nephews) on my list, which is kinda stressing me out…hopefully I can figure it out and bang out my shopping one day this week or next week at the latest. As far as reading goes, I managed to get in quite a few of my own books last month and am hoping that trend continues this month, but not sure exactly how much reading I will actually get done. Oh well…
