Here I am, sitting around Halloween afternoon, all by myself and writing my wrap up. It's a strange feeling having the house to myself. Or more accurately, having the house to myself while also not currently working (since I've been working from home - by myself from home at least - for almost a year now). It's a nice feeling, and I got really excited by the idea of being able to go out and buy face cream.* Toddlers help you appreciate the little things, I suppose.
Here's a picture of the tiny T-Rex in his Halloween costume which he wore for about 3 minutes (refusing to put the hood up) before school on Friday and then he refused to wear again. Instead trick or treating featured Halloween dino themed jammies. I'll take what I can get.

I know I don't normally do any book review type things in these wrap ups but since I'm so bad at updating this now, I want to say that, while both Graveyard Book and My Best Friend's Exorcism are re-reads they are SOOOOO GOOD and I encourage everyone to read them immediately. ANYWAY

A Man Called Ove is by a Swedish author and is also a translation
The Graveyard Book is by a British author so counts even if it feels a bit of a technicality
*I could not find the face cream I wanted. It was a failed journey but I was still pretty jazzed by it nonetheless.
