A book you have always avoided reading: Moby-Dick by Herman Melville (Jul 30-Aug 10). Phew, that was a long one. It was interesting, sometimes tedious..I don't regret reading it, but I was glad when I finally finished it haha

Hans the Eskimo: His Story of Arctic Adventure with Kane, Hayes, and Hall by Edwin Gile Rich (Aug 11-12). You know you're starving when you have to eat your boots D:

The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman (Aug 13-18). Best one in the series! Emotional, but funny too. The new one (The Impossible Fortune) is coming out on the 23rd, yay!!

Blood Lure by Nevada Barr (Aug 19-25). Anna Pigeon really needs a job where she isn't getting hurt/shot at/stalked by animals, etc haha. This one took place in Glacier National Park, yay! I loved all the literary references too ("lead on, Macduff!")

The Wild Robot by Peter Brown (Aug 27-28). The movie was great, so I had to read the book too! Such a lovely story with great illustrations!

The Wild Robot Escapes by Peter Brown (Aug 28-30). Not quiiite as good as the first one, but still pretty good. I love Brightbill and Roz! <3

That was a fast summer, and stressful with work moving too. There's lots of yellow leaves on the trees now!

Earlier Curti went upstairs, set a toy down by mom's door, and waited until she came out. OMG he is too cute and sweet for words to describe <3

Wow, the trees changed fast! It'll always amaze me how fast the seasons change here. Except..this past week has been (mostly) really nice and warm and sunny..it even got in the 70s! It's supposed to stay nice too. Wow..about time summer arrived!! Haha. We deserve it :P

Snowy had to go to the vet yesterday cause he had a ruptured blood vessel in his ear from shaking it so much (maybe from ear mites or an allergy) and to get a cyst on his head removed. He definitely didn't look happy when we picked him up this morning. Aww poor guy. Hopefully he'll feel better soon though

Now the hills look all blah since most of the trees have lost their leaves already. That happens so fast here..

Have you ever had your feelings hurt by an animal?

Haha yeah..when I first got Abby she always sat on mom's lap and I thought she didn't like me. :P Abby sleeps on my bed usually every night now though. She wants attention so she lays on top of me and licks my face haha

The trees are turning yellow now..ahh!
