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.

Books on my nightstand
A House at the Edge of Tears by Vénus Khoury-Ghata: This is one of the books I am reading for the Spotlight Series this month. It's very short, but the writing isn't as simple. Still I would like to give it a try one night and see how far I last.
A Partisan's Daughter
by Louis de Bernières: If and when I do hit the gym this week, I'll be listening to this book. With a hectic week ahead of me, I'm not sure how often that will be. What do you think of this cover? For some reason, it makes me feel as if I'm looking at a movie poster.

Nice to see that 'Partisan's Daughter' is on your list. I read that earlier this year. Not like his other books but still, I'm a firm De Bernieres fan. Hope you enjoy the Ghata too. I read 'The Calligrapher's Night' by Yasmine Ghata, Venus-Ghoury Ghata's granddaughter. It was ok, but it would be interesting to know what you thought of it. You might want to check out my reviews of them after you finish.
Happy reading!
