I think I am going to start doing monthly wrap ups and projections for the month. Seems like a fun idea, no? But it’s also a way I can keep myself on track. Especially as I work on my New Year’s Resolutions, which one of them is to stay more organized! So let’s see….

Books Read

I definitely didn’t finish as many books as I wanted to, so a few will end up on my “To Be Read” list next month. But here’s what I’ve finished for December:

• Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
• The Night Before Christmas by Scarlett Bailey 3/5 Moose (I can’t bring myself to review this chick-lit book.)
• Santa Maybe by Scarlett Bailey 3/5 Moose
• Married by Christmas by Scarlett Bailey – DNF My first DNF. That’s sad.
• Secondhand Souls by Christopher Moore 3/5 Moose
• Daughter of Deep Silence by Carrie Ryan 4/5 Moose (Review will probably come out tomorrow.)
• 5th Wave by Rick Yancey (about 17% in the book and LOVING IT. I hope it stays this good.)

Projects Started/Finished 

• Blanket and baby things for Grey Hudson (started)
• 4th Doctor scarf (started)

Words Written

I wrote two starter ideas, and then restarted sketching my main book idea. This is here because a NY Resolution is to write more obviously.

Monthly Goals

• Visit High Line – did not do (weather and drama)
• Unpacked all my boxes (done! Though there is one more box to move down to the garbage.)
• Organize kitchen (done! Thanks to my mom’s wonderful Christmas present)

Places to visit in my new city 

• High Line
• Museum of Mathematics  Visited – definitely for kids. Disappointing!
• National History Museum – oh my god. the line?!
• 9/11 Museum – Visiting with my mom today.
• Union Square Holiday Market – Loved!
