October Recap

So, one thing I’ve seen other bloggers do is a Monthly Recap. I’m going to use my monthly recap to show the progress I’ve made on books I’m reading, my bullet journal, and my writing.

Books I Read

1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

The first book I read this month was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J.K. Rowling. I have been reading through the Harry Potter series for about two years for the first time. My mom read them aloud to me and my brother, and we are a very busy family, so we kept getting interrupted. We started two years ago at Christmas, and finished at the beginning of this month.  Our neighbors across the street had fake graves for the people who died in the last few books, and we had to look away whenever we went outside, so we wouldn’t get any spoilers. 😉 I really enjoyed this series because it created a magical world that I could escape into whenever I wanted to. Even though it was kinda sad at the end, I really loved it!

2. Uncle Tom’s Cabin

This book, written by Harriet Beecher Stowe, was a little bit hard to read because of the old English, but it really changed my views on slavery. It made me think about the changes in our world that we have made for the better.

3. Nightfall

This is the sixth book in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series (by Shannon Messenger), and, I have to say, this is my favorite series that I have ever read. Yep, it beats Harry Potter! I have been re-reading this series (for the third time) in preparation for the seventh book to come out. So excited!!

4. The Hound of the Baskervilles

This was written by Arthur Conan Doyle, and I did a book report on it for school. I think it was an awesome coincidence that I read it in the month of Halloween! 😉 I think it was a very good book, and I really enjoyed it.

That’s all the books I have read this month, so, moving on to….

Bullet Journaling

This was my second month of bullet journaling, so I tried a few new things like a weather tracker, a new weekly spread, and yeah, that’s pretty much it.  Maybe I’ll have more next month. I was very busy this month.

And, without further ado, moving on to…

Writing

This month I made a goal to write 20 minutes every day in my book. Once I got started, I couldn’t stop. I ended up writing for a whole lot more than just twenty minutes. So, I got a lot farther along than I thought I would. Yay!

Goals

My goals for last month were to drink more water, write more, and stay caught up in my bullet journal. I think I did pretty good. How about you? Comment and tell us what you got done this month!
