Monthly Recap! October 2017

Posted November 2, 2017 by Wendy in recap / 0 Comments

I feel like I say this every month now, but wow did October fly by! I can’t believe it’s November but I am really excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Favorite Things in October:

October is competition month for climbing and as many of you may know, I boulder on a regular basis. I got to do two competitions and they were so much fun!

I did the Dawg Dash 10K at the University of Washington and I loved it! I went to undergrad there and it was great to be back on campus! (The most beautiful college campus ever in my opinion!) There were tons of adorable dogs there. I also ran a PR and that made me super excited!

I also got to meet Anna Faris at her Unqualified book signing! She is really sweet and her Q&A was a lot of fun! I don’t have any good pictures unfortunately since we weren’t allowed to take any with her.

Month in Review:

Books Read In October: 8

Audiobooks Listened to in October: 7

Favorite read of the month: Retribution Rails! It was a highly anticipated read this fall and it did not disappoint!

I also finished binging Prodigy and Champion – a box set I’ve had for years and years. The Hook Up I’ve had for years as well and may finally read the rest of that series too! It’s so satisfying to get books read that I’ve owned for so long!
