My suitcase is packed. My books are packed in my favorite weekender. I have my sunhat ready to go. Wearing my comfiest shoes and yoga pants for a roadtrip!

I’m off on another adventure. Technically, it’s my first adventure of the year. The year rolled over while I was on my last adventure. I’m spending a few days with family in New Orleans before heading on my first cruise. A bunch of my mom’s side of the family are taking a cruise to Mexico to celebrate my grandma’s 80th birthday!

I am working the next couple of days, but I am not working while on the cruise. Well, I’m not working three of the four and a half days on the cruise. Those three days will be the first days I’ve not worked in…. years. I’ll be doing work for the blog like taking pictures and writing. I like to think of that as fun(work). It’s work, but I love it.

I will actually get to sit down and read. Actually dedicate time to reading. I’m super behind on my reading list, so hopefully, I can catch up over the next few days. Fingers crossed. Besides reading, I get to actually put on clothes and look like a human being!!!

  1. Work Optional: Retire Early the Non-Penny-Pinching Way

    I’m currently reading this. It’s full of lots of great ideas. I kind of feel like I’m living a work optional life because I have the freedom of taking my work with me everywhere I go.
  2. We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy
    Ta-Nehisi Coates
    I’m really excited to read this one.
  3. Mother Winter
    Sophia Shalmiyev
    I’m looking forward to this memoir about emigration and motherhood.
  4. The Bold World; A Memoir of Family and Transformation
    Jodie Patterson
    I love the cover, and I’m looking forward to reading about a mother’s journey with a trans child.
  5. French Quarter Fiction; The Newest Stories of America’s Oldest Bohemia
    Editor: Joshua Clark
    I love New Orleans, and this is an obvious choice since I’m in the city.
  6. American Spy
    Lauren Wilkinson
    I love the cover a whole bunch. The story sounds pretty great too.
  7. Dreyer’s English; An Utterly Correct Guide to Clarity and Style

    My inner language nerd is going to have so much time reading this. This is my version of porn.
