So actual life was pretty busy. I just quit a job, let’s call them Company A, that I’d been working at for a year because the pay wasn’t ever going to be what I needed it to be and I got passed up on a promotion for someone ten years my junior.
It was scary to quit something that had been secure, but my new job, let’s call them Company B, who I’d worked for a while before but had quit when I thought I was going to get a promotion a Company A.
So much drama, so little management. The worst part is it cut into my reading time.
Reading
Finished
I honestly only finished one book. Boo hiss. The only reason I finished it was because it was my favorite series. I’m going to finish reviewing the series soon so look out for that in December.

Lalani of the Distant Sea
I’ve really been enjoying this book because of its unique narrative structure. Lalani Sarita’s is just trying to get by Sanlagita where life is difficult and women aren’t valued. Whenever someone tries to leave the island they never come back, a fate that befell Lalani’s father. Lalani and her mother have to suffer from her stepfather and stepbrother. And deal with a drought that has hit the island.
When Lalani travels up the mountain the islanders think is evil, her wish is granted but not in the way she imagined. And when distress falls on the village, Lalani ends up shouldering the blame.
To help her mother who has fallen ill from an incurable disease, Lalani must leave the island to find the riches of the legendary Mount Isa, which towers on an island to the north. It holds what might be a cure for her mother and a way for Lalani to earse the mistakes she’s made in the village. But where generations of her people have failed to reach the island what chance does an ordinary girl have?

Games
So I’ve been caught up in playing the new Pokemon game. I got Pokemon Shield. I love the game so far and its taking up tons of my time! Are you playing? Who did you choose as your starter? I chose Grooky, because I like grass types and he was cute. But Wooloo is also so sweet.
Watching
I’ve been watching Disney+ loving my favorite princess movies. But the thing I’m looking most forward to watching is Frozen II. I bought advance tickets to see it with my friends on Friday and I’m so excited.
So how was your November? Hopefully more productive than mine? I hope it was happy and that you are getting ready for the end of the year! 🙂
