Dear Sunday: Five Weeks?!

Dear Sunday is my weekly post participating in the Caffeinated Book Reviewer series.

When I started a draft for this post, I figured that it had been probably one month since I started this book blog and that seemed like a good time to sit back and reflect.

I was surprised to see that I'm actually heading into my sixth week blogging! I have five weeks of blogging behind me-- I swear, this summer is flying by. Too soon the winds will change and these wonderful long days will shorten. I was asked recently where I planned on living once I get my degree and I gave my usual hodgepodge list: Montana, Canada, France, Arkansas, who knows. But if I do planned to be wooed by the soaring landscapes of Montana/Canada I need to work on my winter attitude. I love snow and winter weather-- if and only if there is zero chance I'll be asked to drive in it. If all I have to do is sit and admire a winter landscape we're good. Any more and we have issues.

This week's photo: we have a new crock-pot recipe that was delicious, even if it made enough for an entire army annd three books I read this past week!

But back to the books!

Five weeks! Okay, so what exactly have I done in those five weeks?

The biggest surprise with this blog is two-fold: one) the community. I know, how sappy, but I was so pleasantly surprised by the response of the book blogger community to my little ol' blog (I love every view and comment!). Also, I love finding new favorite blogs to follow-- my to-read list has really exploded since starting this blog! The second thing that really surprised me was how much I love Bloglovin' as a way to keep track of all the blogs I want to follow. I've tried using Bloglovin' before but never really found it too useful-- until now.

[[let's be honest, the main purpose of this list is to look fondly back on what turned out to be a surprisingly productive week here!]]

Whew! I'm proud of that list. Five posts in seven days-- who knows if this is a number I'll keep up with. No promises. This upcoming week is the week before my move and there are a ton of adult of stuff (renter's insurance, internet set up, etc) that I still have to do but I'm super excited about my new apartment!

[[maybe. stay tuned]]
