Welcome to Building the Book Pile!
Hi everyone ~ Happy Sunday.
It was another long work week, but I got lots done and met with lots of students about their recruiting plans. The new class is always so fun to be around, they are so enthusiastic and happy to be there and meet to chat. Recruiting season, i.e. companies coming to campus, starts on the 8th, so only a week away.
Over the course of the week, I have read a little, I am almost done with Hellbound and I read a bunch of kids books from Penguin for some Halloween showcases that I will be posting soon. I love me some spooky season 🎃👻.
I have also been working on a cross stitch bookmark - taking my time, but I think it is coming out well for my first attempt.

I also downloaded Strange Antiquities for my PC. I played Strange Horticulture on my Switch and really enjoyed it. I got a bundle so I have both on my PC now and I might do a replay of SH. They are moody-vibe, puzzle games. People come in asking for things an you have to figure out what to give them. There are also little clues you pick up to get more items/ find new information as well. There is always a weird spooky thing happening in the town that all the villagers talk to you about. I like it.
That's all from me this week. Tomorrow I am headed to Boston for the Red Sox v. Mariners game and it is Heated Rivalry night! 🧢⚾ I will grab some pics to share next week (hopefully).
