1174725 Hi Paige!!

Thank you for joining the challenge! What kind of dogs do you have? I would love to have a black cat that I can call Behemoth but both my partner and I are allergic. Also, my greyhound would probably eat it.

What's your booktube channel so we can check it out?

1174725 I am NOT a fitness guru or even a fit person. But I thought it might be helpful to share some of the ways we're adding more mindful movement to our days. I've been trying to be more aware of how much time I spend sitting on my butt and challenging myself to get up and move. Even if that means just getting up to do some chores or something I've been putting off around the house. Or maybe pacing a little at work.

I've also been adding nighttime yoga to my bedtime routine. I'm not flexible at all but I've always loved yoga. BUT I get frustrated when I just jump into a random youtube class (see previous comment about my bendy limitations). I like the slower more restorative classes right now because they don't make me feel discouraged when I can't hit some crazy pose. I wanted to share two of the classes I found and I've been enjoying.

1174725 Hi everyone!!

I thought it would be fun to keep a running list of all the books we've finished for this challenge. I started adding my finished reads to the bookshelf. If you want, please add yours as well!

Happy Reading!

1174725 Oh my gosh! I loved Empire of Pain. That story is so messed up!!! I read it in November and was floored!

I'm currently working on The Dragon Reborn by Robert Jordan (print) and I need to pick a new kindle book today. I'm really churning through the kindle books!!! I finished Lakesedge yesterday. I had it as an e-ARC and I liked it. It's very YA and I know some friends who will adore it but for me it's just ok.
