Here we are back to Monday again! We had a great time celebrating Halloween on Friday. And then I got up the next morning and ran my second 5K. I ran the first in May in 35:00. I ran the second 5K on Saturday in 33:26. I'm hoping to sign up for another one this fall and to finish even faster. So far, both of the races I've done have been very hilly!! Here I am at the finish line.
And now on to my reading and reviewing recap for the week!

I haven't heard of any of the books you posted! Glad to hear had a good reading week though! :) Congrats on running a 5K! I'm not a runner and think it's awesome when people do it! :)

I hadn't heard of NaBloPoMo until a couple days ago! I had heard of the writing one, but I'm not that kind of writer, so figured I'd never be able to participate. Have a good week!
DeleteI've just completed my first It's Monday! post & I'm enjoying seeing what everyone, all round the world is reading.
ReplyDeletegreat to see an award winning Aussie author on your list. I'm hosting AusReading Month during all of Nov if you'd like to add a link to Stedman post when you write it :-)

Thanks for stopping by. I'll definitely check out your AusReading Month post.
DeleteI have a few books from Cressida Crowell's dragon series but haven't started reading them yet. Holding off until I get the rest of the book titles. Great photo! I miss running! The haze was extremely bad in Singapore before I left, it was impossible to do outdoors running. :) Great picture! :)
ReplyDeleteMy son is waiting on just two more of the dragon books and then he will finally be done with it! It's a long series! Too bad about the haze. I'm sure it wouldn't be healthy to run in that.
