books, books, books . . .

Happy Saturday, kittens! Lately I've been thinking about books a lot. Okay, I always think about books a lot. But what I'm thinking about right now are reading goals for this year. (Yeah, I know, maybe I should've thought about that in December? Oh well!) I have a pile of books I am partially through that I put down for various reasons. I think goal number one is to finish those books. Goal number two is to read forty books this year. That's not a lot, but given that I read for my day job and my freelance work, I think forty books read purely for pleasure is a reasonable number to shoot for. Goal number three is to read books by authors who are not straight white men. It's okay if some of the books I read are by straight white men, but I want that to be less than aquarter of my pleasure reading for this year.
What are your reading goals for the year?
Blood and kisses!

new year already

Happy new year, kittens! I'm in Seattle right now for one of my closest friends to have her first baby. Exciting! I have to be honest though: I want to travel less next year. I feel like I have traveled a lot in the last year.
I don't do new year resolutions, but I do like to think about goals for the year. So here they are:
More writing
More music
More spirituality
More self-care
Less stress
So far so good! I'm sitting in a cafe drinking tea and taking a break from writing as I type this.
What about you? Goals for this year?
I just wanted to pop in for a beief hello. It's time to get back to the writing! Blood and kisses, my kittens!
