Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula

Currently Reading: The Classified Dossier - Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula by Christian Klaver 📚 With the ice in the area this week, there wasn’t a lot of going outside and doing things. So, I decided to pick up the Kindle and start reading something light hearted and fun. I settled for this book.

Little man was cold last night. We forgot to put a blanket in the kennel with him and he decided to go to sleep in the litter box.

So I got the email about Mastadon-compatible username on Micro.blog. I have zero idea what to do with that.

The Paper & Plan Co. for the win!

Ok so I know that I’ve talked a lot about The Paper Plan & Co. lately. But its with good reason. I purchased a few magnetic page markers last year. The markers themselves weren’t anything really special. What made this gift unique and special, though, was the hand written card that came with the order. It was hand written by the owner of the company, Emily Frisella. Personalized to me saying thank you for the business.

Finished reading: You are a Badass

Finished reading: You Are a Badass® by Jen Sincero 📚 I started 2023 with the goal of reading at least 10 pages a day of a non-fiction/entrepreneurship type book. This was the first of those books. I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the content and have already started putting some of the practices to use!

Started listening to Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy (Book II: Greater Good) (Star Wars: The Ascendancy Trilogy) by Timothy Zahn 📚

Fairy Tale: Stephen King doing what only he can.

Finished reading: Fairy Tale by Stephen King 📚 I got this book on Audible and could not stop listening to it. The story was fascinating to me. It was unlike any Stephen King book I’ve ever read. The descriptiveness of the characters and the scenery was unmatched. It’s a great story about what people will do for love (but not in the way you may think).

Booked my summer vacation. I’m excited!

“Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation.”
