The Sunday Post AKA What’s on my (Mostly Virtual) Nightstand 5-2-21

Sunday Post

Today I have an extra special version of “how it started/how it’s going” because yesterday was George’s first gotchaversary. It’s been a whole year since we picked up the orange energy ball and OMG how he’s grown!

I just discovered, to my utter chagrin, that although I prepped yesterday’s Stacking the Shelves post I neglected to actually post it. Red-faced apologies all around.

Clearly George’s gotchaversary celebration got WAY out of hand!

Stacking the Shelves

I just finished After the Crown and it was utterly awesome, particularly on audio. Last week I beat myself with the clue-by-four and realized that I could use my sleep headphones, the ones I wear to play white noise when I’m going to sleep, could ALSO be used to play audiobooks while I’m up and playing games on my iPad. This is NOT conducive to getting more sleep – more like the reverse – but it’s great for getting more time with a good book. After the Crown was excellent so I’m looking forward to starting Beyond the Empire over the weekend!
