Serial Readers Unite! discussion

Hi everyone! How is everyone doing? Are we enjoying the seasonal change yet? Let chat! Books, life, whatever goes

I am trying to get into a Halloween mood. Anyone else love the holiday? Any fun plans for this month?

I'm slowly feeling more social.

I'm both loving and hating the season change. lol.

How are you? ^_^

I'm okay for the most part. Trying to catch up on a few things. Weather and fires are still being unpredictable. :(
But I am reading more.
Thinking of buying the sims 4 knitting pack while it is on sale (if it still is).
So better than last month at least. :)

And yes, you have been quietly lately. At least here and even YA. Hope everything is okay. I know on most social media I am going quiet but that is because those places are so negative these days. I try not to get too involved (sometimes I do though) and I keep posting random stuff just to try to make people laugh but still, crazy times add stress.

It's crazy to me you guys have fires when it's been near freezing at night here. O.o The way weather works will always confuse me.

It's okay. I've been even more anxious than normal lately and I've been experiencing some SAD symptoms now that it's getting colder.

I just haven't had the energy to be social. I'm very limited right now but if a lot of it has been negative maybe that's a good thing???

Ahh sorry you that is hitting you already. :(

I just hate people being ugly to each other. All the unfriending and insults. With the US election coming up people being nasty. It's bad every time but this year is more than usual. And I have friends and family on both sides so I see it all and everyone is just angry all the time. :(

So I post witchy pictures, dragons and other animals and then go read lol.

Yeah the smoke cleared and then last week we got another fire. And weather was still triple digits on the 1st, just started to cool down, and now next week is back to mid-90s... Hate all the heat. And the smoke took away the sunlight I need in the summer and now getting dark earlier, so I might be hitting my own seasonal depression sooner than usual myself.

That's a great way to deal with it! :)

:(

I'm okay. struggle is getting harder since Edd funds aren't enough to cover my bills. haven't had much focus but I'm trying to read and enjoy the season

Yeah edd is bad here. I am working some but hours are erratic (anywhere from 5-50 hours a week). I hope things start to look better for you soon. Hang in there.

How is everyone doing? Any fun plans this coming weekend?

Not much . Going to stay home and watch a bunch of movies and read!

Sounds like my plans. I work during the day but will just be home watching scary movies tomorrow night. :)

Alright so I just changed the chat for a quarterly chat.
Sorry I haven't been very social on here lately. Stressful month for so many reasons.

How is everyone doing? Reading anything good? I am fighting a burnout. Or maybe just overly stressed.

So I have been watching random tv and youtube stuff. No rhyme or reason to my life right now lol.

I think next year I am going to be more focused on more TBR based reading and better focusing on just a few series at a time with the occassional stand-alone in the mix. I must get better at this!

I feel the same. I keep trying to get life back on track. Hopefully the new year is a hard reset for us all. :/

Yeah this year has been crap on so many levels. Most stressful year of my life! Really hoping for a less chaotic next year. I know things won’t be normal yet but hopefully a bit better in some ways.

I'm hoping to clear my physical books in December and then focus on completing a bunch of series :)

Nice! I am not getting much reading time in right now. I'm either working or stressing. But I want to read. I think next month will be a good reading month but this month I'll be happy just to finish a couple books at this rate.
I went a bit nuts on right stuf black friday week and bought a LOT of manga. Mostly to finish series' I already own part of. But they had a bunch for on $2 so I want to manga binge soon.

Hello everyone! Sorry I've been AWOL. It's been a chaotic time. Hopefully we all have happier, healthier times starting soon.

Hi! No worries about being away. I think many of us have disappeared from groups, sites, social media, etc a bit at times, especially lately. It has been quite the year and not in a good way for most.
I will second those hopes!
