Fall Stuff

Today is the first real chill of the season. It's in the mid 40s. And dreary. It was rainy but I think that has passed for the day.

It called for a delicious crock pot meal of Mississippi Mud Roast. Which is a recipe I originally got from Beth. I fancy mine up just a little and add potatoes and carrots to the crock pot too. Because root veggies feel so very fall to me.

And if I was making a fall dinner, why not make a fall dessert? So I obviously have an apple pie in the oven.

So my house smells like Heaven right now, that is for darn sure!

Want to hear something kind of fun but really geeky? Well for our library and their ebook check out you can recommend books that they don't own. I recently started following Penguin Random House on Instagram and they have been posting about Turtles All the Way Down since it's a new release. Well I went to see if my library had a copy and they didn't.

So I recommended it and when you do that you are automatically added to the "hold" list so if they buy the book you have a spot in line. I recommended the book on October 20. Which was last Friday. Well YESTERDAY October 23 I got an email saying a book from my hold list was available. I was FLOORED when I logged in and saw that it was Turtles All the Way Down.

It is a pretty good YA book about a girl with severe anxiety as she copes with friendship and sort've kind of love. Not to spoil this book but it doesn't follow the usual teen relationship trope which was really refreshing. It was a very quick read as an adult but totally worth a read.

Tonight we also have C's conference, I am really excited about it. I am curious how he's doing and whether we made the right choice with the whole full day/half day/wait/go debate.
