February 2025 Wrap-Up

Personal Highlights from this month:

• Miss B started her job and she is loving it.
• Miss R got her diagnosis—unspecified ADHD, an attachment disorder, and an unspecified anxiety disorder. Her therapist is adjusting her therapy sessions to follow the suggestions of the psychiatrist.
• BK traveled to Minnesota and got to enjoy -2 to -14-degree weather. To say he wasn’t a fan is an understatement.
• Mr. Z has his heart set on MIT for college. But he is also interested in a college that solely focuses on computer science in Salt Lake City, any of the UNC campuses, App State, and Western Carolina.

Blog/Reading Highlights from this month:

• I read two books in The Zemnian Series (Wolf Island and The Singing Shore I: Sea and Song). I have read (and reviewed) two other books in the series—The Breathing Sea I: The Burning and The Breathing Sea II: Drowning. I am slowly working through this series and will return to see if the other 7 books will either be free or put on KU.
• I read books 1 and 5 of The Starlight Chronicles. I am waiting for the rest of the series to either become free (unlikely) or show up on Kindle Unlimited (a better chance of this happening)
• I read books 0.5 and 1 of the Hellions Ride series. Like the previous books I mentioned above, I will wait for the rest of the series to become free or go on Kindle Unlimited.
• I finished the Waldegrave Series by A.L. Tyler (3 books). I was on the fence about the series. I couldn’t decide if I liked it or was bored with it. In the end, it was a combination of the two.
