Review Recap For January 23-30, 2017
Well, the uncertainty of the last few months has finally come to an end. I am very happy to report that I have signed a contract for a new job for the next school year, in one of the biggest and fastest-growing cities on the planet!
We will be moving to Shanghai, China!
The new job is on a similar calendar to my current gig, so that means that we'll be visiting the US from late June until we head to China in late July.
Up until then, we'll be trying to make the most of our remaining time in Vietnam. We just celebrated Tet, and welcomed the Year of the Rooster, and I've got the rest of this week off from work. I've been getting things reorganized now that I'm out of job search mode, and I've had time to write some new reviews.
On Goodreads
How To Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell: The amusing book that was the (admittedly loose) basis for the hit film.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte: The classic English romance. I read a lovely Grosset & Dunlap illustrated hardcover edition.
Manak: The Silent Predator by Adam Blade: My favorite of the Adam Blade books that I've read with the Kiddo so far.
On Comic A Day
Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #14: From Marvel's Unmasked storyline in 2007.
Fantasy Theater #18: Featuring two adventures of Lady Spectra & Sparky.
Also This Week
The fundraiser I was supporting this week has ended, so I'm going to repost links to fundraisers for two people battling cancer that could still use more support.
Sabrina Chick, a friend of a family member of mine.
Duane Nelson, the husband of a friend.
Upcoming
I have a big backlog of photos to process and upload from recent travels as well as Tet festivities around Ho Chi Minh City.
In early April, we're looking at a possible trip to Sapa/Hanoi/Ha Long Bay in northern Vietnam.
We leave for about a month in the US in late June, and then on to Shanghai in late July! No travel plans beyond that, but as of right now, my expectation is that most traveling we do in the 2017-2018 school year will probably be within China. It's a big country with a lot to see!
