Almost halfway done with books!

I finished reading book #12! It was The Boleyn Inheritance by Phillipa Gregory. I had actually started reading another book, The Other Queen, before realizing that they were different parts of the same series. I think each book can be read on it's own, but I'd read the first two books in the series and wanted to continue in order. So I read the third book in the series, which I enjoyed quite a lot. It was narrated by three different women, alternating chapters. That made the book very interesting, and allowed for the reader to be almost all-seeing without an omnipresent narrator. Of course the books are historical fiction, and knowing what happens to Henry VIII's wives means that the ending of the book is no surprise. Even so, the book was very well written, and I really enjoyed it.

Another new movie!

I watched another new movie! This one was called In The Loop, and I watched it because the 12th Doctor Peter Capaldi was in it. I really enjoyed this movie, I found it to be very funny. I'm glad I watched it for Capaldi, because I don't think I would have found it otherwise!

Spaghetti Squash!

I tried another new food- spaghetti squash! It was okay, might be a nice fall veggie!

Donated 4 More Things!

Today I took a trip to Goodwill and donated four more things. I love getting rid of old stuff, especially knowing that someone out there will be able to use my stuff!

And yet another book done!

After reading a regular book, it was time to read an ebook. This was the story for July, so now I'm all caught up! This ebook was about the Seventh Doctor, and it was excellent. The Doctor was well written, as was Ace the companion. Also there were Daleks, which is always exciting! Looking forward to the next ebook about Paul McGann's Doctor.

Another book down!

I've finished another book! Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. This book has really withstood the test of time, and it's easy to see why. It's still very relevant, and still an excellent book. It's very interesting to see which of Huxley's predictions for the future have come true, and which ones seem totally absurd. This is definitely my kind of book, and I adored it.

Another new movie

I had some time to kill, so I went on Netflix and found a movie I hadn't seen. I'd been curious about the Zach and Miri movie for some time, so when I came across it I decided to watch. It was okay, super raunchy as expected and very predictable. It was funny at parts though, and I think anyone who enjoys that kind of humor will really enjoy the movie.

I got a job!

I'm so excited to finally announce that I've gotten a new job! It all happened so quickly- about two weeks ago, I found out that a large Louisville-based company was hiring a large number of people. I applied, and had a phone interview. The man who interviewed me actually said I'd be better suited for a different position that paid better and was closer to my house. I continued the process with that job, and got an on-site interview last week. My interview was a breeze, and the company made me an offer that day.

I start in September! I'm very excited, but I'll be sad to leave my current job. I had to wait to tell you guys until I told my current job. Another goal accomplished!
