I think I can say that Fall is finally here. Or at least the crisp Fall air is finally here. The colors not so much. We still haven't gotten around to any Fall activities, and at this point, I'm not sure when or if we'll do them. Renovation updates We are almost at the halfway point into our ground floor renovation. The flooring is almost done, cabinets are ready to be setup, appliances are here. It's exciting to be on the other side of the renovation when things are getting finished. There's still easily 2.5 weeks worth of work left in the kitchen, and another 2-2.5 weeks for the master bathroom, so mid-November is likely when we are done with the renovation. Assuming no delays. Flooring coming along All of us are pretty exhausted at this point. Walking up and down the stairs to pick items from the makeshift pantry and then cook on the main floor gets old very fast.

This is a weekly event initially hosted by J. Kaye at J. Kaye's Book Blog, now by Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books, to celebrate what you are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week.
Books completed last week
- The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien - Re-read for the LOTR Read-along
Books reviewed from the week before
- The 13th Hour by Richard Doetsch
- Open Season by Linda Howard
I am currently reading
Liar by Justine Larbalestier:
I have to say this book is pretty interesting, though the narrator's shrilly dialogues are irritating my ears. I'm only on disk 2, with 7 more left, and I listen an hour a day (when I hit the gym) so hopefully, I will complete this one within 7 gym days.
White Oleander by Janet Fitch:
I couldn't get into this the first time, so I took a short break and returned back to it. I hope I'll complete this one this week itself.
Last Night in Montreal by Emily St. John Mandel:
I'm reading this one for the Spotlight Series, and am interested in this book for its theme as well - depression, obsession and compulsiveness. My review will come up only on March 23rd, but with a paper due on March 22nd, I don't want to wait till then to read it.
The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs:
My slow last week didn't get me to this book as soon as I expected, but hopefully, this weekend will be spent on this one.
