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. I have been able to work from home without issues and I'm grateful for that. I've set up m

An announcement hidden in all my ramblings in this post! What I did when I wasn't around for two weeksBooks on my nightstand
Last week, I started reading one book that I found very engrossing. In addition, there's another one I started and stopped, so I'll be picking that one up again.
Neuromancer by William Gibson: When Care mentioned that she is planning to read this book, I decided to wait a few weeks to read it with her. Unfortunately, things happened, so I'm only now getting to it, and Care should probably have finished it. But it's a good book, so I'm looking forward to reading it.
The Filter Bubble by Eli Pariser: I had been looking forward to reading this book about online privacy. I tend to tighten my social networks to just as much as I can. And with the tons of ways that websites have been making all kinds of information available - like which song I'm listening to, to what articles I'm reading - I wanted a different look at the internet life. So far, this book is great!

I just read Before I Go to Sleep a few weeks ago. I liked it, but I think I don't read mysteries/thrillers as often as literary fiction because I finish them and that's it. The characters and plots don't stick around in my head like those of other books.
...And cue end of ramblings.
And I hear you on the book pile size. I don't buy a lot - I find it hard to justify buying a book unless I am standing in one of those must-visit bookstores.
