Things that Happened in September
- It is so strange that September is already over! This month has been so overwhelming!!
- The first weeks of the school year have dragged and yet they have also gone by so quickly.
- I was dragged to the city to try on dresses for my sister’s wedding next summer. I think we found one that everyone liked. That itself is an accomplishment.
- This month has seemed to go by so fast when I wasn’t at the school. Just crazy fast.
I have decided to start reading Cinder by Marissa Meyer in Polish in hopes that it will help my Polish vocabulary. So far, it is very slow going.
I watched the Pope in Philadelphia on EWTN. I love Pope Francis so much. He is so inspiring and so full of joy. What a great representative of God’s love for all people, especially families, at the World Meeting of Families.

Things I’m Looking Forward to in October
- Hopefully things will calm down at school. We really need things to calm down now that we have made it to first quarter mid-term.
- The All Saints’ Party with the religious ed kids will be the Wednesday before the actual feast (Nov. 1). I hope that it will be awesome!

I LOVE the cover for Polish Cinder!
You did awesome for books. Happy October!
The Polish cover is absolutely gorgeous!
I hope you have a wondering October!
I’m glad you got a great partner for the Books & Bloggers swap. I participated last time and it was lots of fun. I’m intending to read In This House of Brede too — hope you enjoy it!
Thank you. I hope you have a wonderful October!
I tried reading Harry Potter in French to help vocabulary. It does go really slow.
I read Harry Potter in Spanish for the same reason, so I know what I’m getting into with this one. I picked up the Polish audiobook as well to hopefully help my pronunciation which isn’t quite where it should be.
I hope you have a great October!
