Weekly Reading List #27

By Cynthia Ayala

Hey there readers! I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Mine wasn’t that bad, I worked a 9+ hr shift at the theater and it wasn’t as busy as it was last year and no one gave me an attitude for once! Everyone was in the Christmas spirit which made me very happy. And it’s nice to be around my coworkers who are all amazing. I love my bosses and my coworkers and they really are appreciative of all the hard work. The theater may not pay me enough but at least I have a job and great bosses for which I am grateful.

But anyway, I hope that everyone spread the cheer and had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family. Here’s what’s coming up on my reading list soonish followed by a short piece of what I’m reading now. I thought I should include that since it’s been a while since I last posted one of these updates.

Weekly Reading List #23

By Cynthia Ayala

Hey there avid readers! I hope that everyone had an amazing Halloween. I sure did. I was Beetlejuice and it was awesome. Unfortunately my shoes, however cute, were not made for walking. It was still a lot of fun and I loved it, even found out I got an A on the paper that I was so sure that I was going to fail. Whew.

Sorry, you’re not here for that. Or maybe some of you are. I like you readers to get to know me as a person. I hope none of this inconsequential to you guys.

Anyway, here is my reading list for the next week, maybe two depending on how school goes. I do have schoolwork to do. And as always, all synopsis’s are courtesy of Goodreads. Continue reading “Weekly Reading List #23”
