Dealing with Disappointment | 
My last 4 books of 2023 were….underwhelming. I wanted something light, fun and maybe a little magic thrown in for good measure. What I got were books that were too long and filled with extraneous googah, too much sex with too little chemistry. Bottom line is there were HUGE swaths of books where I was just bored. I did finish all but Mr Malcom‘s List, so there‘s that. 🤷🏾♀️
I am disappointed with myself.
In 2020 I read 54 books. In 2021 I read only 42 and that counting the ones I bailed on, which I didn‘t last year.
This year brought different challenges than previous years. I dedicated myself to other hobbies, but I‘m still surprised by my numbers.
We don‘t succeed in every challenge but challenging ourselves is how we better ourselves, right?
Right?!!?
✨I am so disappointed with my reading challenge so far. I was six books ahead, now I'm five books behind schedule. 😥 I really wanted to complete it this year, but with this funk idk if I'll be able to..
✨Anyone have any tips for getting out of funks? Months long ones? 💜😖
1. Hibernation
2. Done. Too people-y.
3. Washington DC
4. Which one will do my laundry? Maybe gorilla.
5. 88, I think. After the rain stops.

I really wanted to participate in this weekend‘s #24in48 but I have to work on Sunday plus a meeting with my writing group in the evening. It‘d have to be 24in36...which may be doable? 😂😅😳
Well, I‘ve been to the post office and all hope is lost for me for #halloweengoespostal. I had a hunch. My post office has short hours, so I don‘t know when I‘m going to be able to get back there. If you are my match, would you please just let me know if I should be looking for something? I won‘t ask any questions, I just want to know what to expect. You can email me at hollybarker13@yahoo.com if you prefer. Thanks.
