Moderation is not one of my strong suits. I'm not very good at doing things a little bit, which is why Netflix is my kryptonite. It's so easy to see that another season (or five) is available and just watch it all. Especially when you're home all day with a baby and you're stuck on the couch nursing. (I know, what's wrong with me. I should be staring at her gorgeous face, but instead after the umpteen millionth feeding, you get a little bored.)
At the beginning of the month, my parents decided to cancel their Netflix for the summer because my two younger siblings aren't so good at the moderation thing either. In the last month my reading (which is usually on the high side) has shot way up and it pleases me greatly.
This month I have read/listened to some books I didn't particularly care for, Matched and Three Cups of Tea for example, that I know a lot of other people have loved. I have discovered some other new favorites: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Kite Runner, and Mary Poppins. And I always love to reread some of my lifetime loves: Harry Potter and The Hero and the Crown. (And no, this is not a complete list of what I've read this month.)
I am so excited about what I will discover next month. Thank you so much, Netflix, for stepping out of the ring and letting books take up all my free time once more.
