2025 Books
One of my 2025 goals was to read 30 books. I started probably 20 in January but I did manage to finish 5. I had such high hopes for onyx storm after liking the first two books and honestly this was meh I felt like the end it was so blah. But I really enjoyed Greenlights and The Ballard of Songbirds and Snakes was a good prequel I read it super quick and it made me think maybe jones would like hunger games.

31 - birthday party jones
For Jones birthday we had a party with like 15 friends. I called it my last mom party because I planned nothing and we literally just had friends over for sports, pizza and cake. I think it was probably our last big party and next year we will just resume doing something fun with a few friends.
