book tracking
A couple of months ago I mentioned that I needed a way to record my reading habits that was not just screenshots on my iPhone. I started a Google Sheet with the author's name, title, series, Goodreads link, key words/tropes, and a notes column (really to show if the book was a DNF - did not finish). So if someone is interested in a romance where a female electrician in Montana who's pined for her boss since childhood (he's her brother's best friend) so much that she enters them in an engagement contest, I can find that book easily. (Make Believe Wedding by Sarah Manning) Not counting the DNFs, I've read 30 or so books since January 1st. I've also re-read several, which I don't count in the spreadsheet. All this to show that I've been extremely negligent in any kind of adulting.
I'm proud that Z won his school spelling bee and made it to the third round of the next round wih multiple schools. We had practiced old school with index cards, and then one of the other parents showed me the app which not only had the current word lists but also pronunciation so that non-native English speakers like her and Mo could still help drill without confusion.
Z's summer of magic, otherwise known as the camps I've signed him up for:
* lacrosse
* Minecraft
* junior botanists (in French)
* basketball
* kayaking/paddling/canoe
