Reading and Life Update July

So  readers, I am still in a reading funk.

I only managed to read One book in July and that was Big Stone Gap as my previous blog post.

Although this was a re read, I had forgotten quite abit of it.  I loved re-discovering the characters and the settings.  It is a lovely book and I can't wait to continue the rest of the Big Stone Gap series in the coming months.

My goal for August is to finish the other books I have been attempting  over the last couple of months.

I am probably three quarters through Clap when I Land by Elizabeth Acevedo, about half way through The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman and probably about 20% of Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Everisto.

My goal is to complete these three books in August

I want to start a fresh in September and be ready to read more books going into the Autumn season.
September is my birthday month and I see that as a new year for me, where I can re commit myself to reading abit more and reset my goals and aspirations for the coming year.

Work wise, I went back to work after a little period of furlough leave.  Getting back into some sort of normality in these crazy times.

I am doing more crafts and as you can see I have been posting some of my makes here on this blog.  I want to continue to do that and get more into a regular schedules of blog posts.

July has been a fairly quiet month.  My brother and sister in law came up in July once we were able to visit people which was so lovely as we haven't seen them since early March.  We also visited Mr A's Dad and partner as we were able to sit in the garden.  We are still yet to see Mr A's Mum, Step Dad and brother.  We also visited a couple of set of friends, all within recommended social distancing guidelines.  It's just so strange you can  not hug as you would normally do.

I am hoping that the summer continues to be nice and things will start to be a little easier for the whole world in terms of Covid although news reports does suggest parts of the world are seeing spikes in new cases and could be seen as going through a second wave.

Stay safe my friends and happy reading, crafting and life in general

Love Lesley xx

Kiwillow Reads

Let me introduce myself and my blog Kiwillow Reads. My name is Lesley and I am a 40 plus book lover with a passion for all things bookish. I am married to Mr A and we have three beautiful cats Kiwi, Willow and Eric.  Kiwillow comes from the names of my two female cats. (Sorry Eric, but couldn't find a way of incorporating you). I live in the West Midlands, England, and I work in an office for a national distribution company. I have loved books all my life and the love of books was instilled into me from a very early age.  I can remember being told that I went missing when I was about two years old and my parents found me about three streets away in our local library.  Another time, I went missing and they found me in another library about one mile away from my house.  You would have thought I would have ended up as a librarian, and sometimes I often think that should have been my career. I have thought about creating a book related blog for a long time. ...
