November was BUSY. There was a lot going on!
First, it was my birthday. I took the day off since I had a lot of PTO left, and Shelle and I turned it into a girls day with Luna. We hungout in the morning and then took her out with us to get rolled ice cream (I’ve been craving it for a few weeks lol) and lunch.
Then we spent the rest of the day playing around and napping before I got my presents from Shelle and Kyle. It was a bunch of scrapbooking stuff from my Amazon wishlist! I just finished filling out my first scrapbook, so I needed a new book, so they got me a 3-pack along with a lot of other stuff lol.
I was very excited, especially because I found a site called SQUARED that printed individual mini photos. Before, I was trying to find a site that could print wallet sized photos for cheap, but they would only come in copies of eight, which was WAY too many copies. Luckily, I found SQUARED, so I uploaded around 50 photos to print to see how they came out. The only downside is that it’s coming from Prague, so I didn’t get the photos until early December, but it was worth the wait! The photos were awesome! They’re a little smaller than wallet sized, but that’s fine with me, since I can fit a lot of pics on a page comfortably.
I also bought a lot more scrapbooking supplies from websites during Black Friday and on Etsy because I was on a binge, so I’ve been impatiently checking the mail and tracking links every day lol.
The next weekend was Kelly and John’s wedding. Alec was a brosmaid, so we attended the wedding rehearsal on Saturday afternoon. The venue was at the Tate House, and it was soo pretty! So much light and a great view of the grounds!
The wedding party and their plus ones drove back to John and Kelly’s house for lunch and mimosas afterwards. The bride and groom also offered to pay for the wedding party’s mani pedis, so we took turns in groups of three going to the nail salon nearby that Kelly likes going to. Lol all of the guys got mani pedis with Kelly hardcore trying to convince them to get nail polish on. Alec and John got a top coat instead lol. Meanwhile, the rest of us ate and drank and played games at the house.
Alec and I decided to try out this kimbap place nearby for dinner on the way home. It was great! I can’t wait to go back!
The next day was the wedding! Kelly was so kind to let the girl plus ones to stay at the bridal cottage with her and her party and family, so we ended up going out with them to help hold everything during the photoshoots. The weather was around 55 degrees, so everyone was freezing in between photos when they had to take off their jackets lol. I came in my thermal tights and a thermal shirt and Toms ready to run around like an errand girl for the first half of the morning, so I was fine until I had to wear my dress and heels lol.
Regardless of the weather, everything was beautiful and so so precious. Almost the entire bridal party was tearing up at the vows part of the ceremony lol. Then, the speeches during the reception were also tear jerking and hilarious. There was even a photobooth with lots of props, so we took some funny album cover pics with Andrew and Mikae.
Towards the end of the night, there was a slight hiccup because Mikae’s allergic to shrimp and had a little bit during dinner and wasn’t feeling well. I told Andrew, who had her allergy medicine with his stuff in the groom's cottage, but it was locked before the ceremony started. We had to find the wedding manager and get her assistant to walk us to the cottage and open the door for us. After we got all of the guys’ stuff from the cottage, so they wouldn’t have to deal with this problem after the wedding, Alec and I moved all of their stuff into my trunk while Andrew got his stuff for Mikae. She felt better afterwards, so all was good.
But yeah, it was a fun and eventful night. We were exhausted by the time we got home.
A week later, Alec and I flew to DC to spend Thanksgiving with his family. You can read about that HERE.
When we got back, we quarantined for half a week to make sure we were alright. I was mainly concerned because I had a runny nose in the mornings, but I also had a runny nose while we were in DC. I think it was because of the weather or allergies, because we tested negative after waiting for four days after our trip.
So yeah, November was short but eventful!
Yu Xue bought a house in full during her senior year. She shared this happy event with her best friend, but she didn't know that people's hearts were dark. More often than not see hello.
After the end of the world, a good friend brought a group of people to her house to eat her and use hers, and also euphemistically called it robbing the rich and helping the poor.
In the end, she and her dog Duoduo were killed!
After being reborn with hatred, Yu Xue learned to be smart and asked to take out a loan to buy a house. Mortgage was very expensive.
Friends and classmates around her felt at ease, but she didn't know that she had secretly hoarded supplies to prepare for the upcoming apocalypse.
Later, Yu Xue discovered that Duoduo was also reborn, and he was able to speak out. It turned out that he also had a guardian spirit in his body, which could be the guardian spirit of her house. As long as there was enough energy, it could not only transform the balcony of the house into a guardian spirit. Big enough to carry the whole house on its back and run around.
Great for my fix!
So before the apocalypse, Yu Xue hoarded supplies frantically. After the apocalypse, she worked hard to kill zombies to obtain crystal cores and provide energy to a lot, while growing vegetables and food on the increasingly large balcony.
When the city falls, you can also bring the house and move with the large army.
Everyone was on the move, but she was carrying a big house with her, and she could go in to rest, sleep, and eat at any time. When she was in a good mood, she cooked a big meal for herself.

MY REVIEW:
I really like reading this author's zombie apocalypse novels just because she always puts a different spin to the story. Like this one with a guardian house spirit! In addition to this spirit, there's enough action, adventure, farming and cute pets to keep you interested throughout.
This novel is also pretty short, so it was a nice quick read. Kind of wish there was more mention about the "good friend" who inevitably caused her to die in her past life just to see how she's faring now in her current life. It might be expounded upon in the extras. I'm still waiting for them to come out! I read this story as soon as I saw that it was finished lol. Didn't know the author was still writing extras!
Due to the laziness of the creator, the cannon fodder heroines of several books have the same name.
Ruan Zhi has become such a cannon fodder female supporting role, and must conscientiously maintain the operation of the three worlds and do everything dutifully.
A world.
The male protagonist is very talented, and he is the proud son of heaven with a smooth journey.
Ruan Zhi is a female partner who has been in love with him for many years, but can't get her mind twisted.
B world.
The male protagonist was trampled on by others, and he was a poor little guy who rose up to fight back in the later period.
Ruan Zhi was the female partner who suppressed him in the early stage and stumbled him everywhere.
C world.
The male protagonist is surly and withdrawn, and he is a hidden boss of the devil world.
Ruan Zhi is the female partner who pretends to be gentle and deceives him, but actually steals his treasure.
After the fusion of the three worlds, Ruan Zhi completely misremembered the corresponding plot of each male protagonist, and she... released herself.
-
Ruan Zhi suppressed and stumbled upon the male protagonist of
world A, pretended to be gentle to the male protagonist of world B, sought treasures,
and pursued the male protagonist of world C without being able to ask for it.
Result——
The male protagonist of World A: She must have been heartbroken by me to act like this, and I am sorry for her.
The male protagonist of World B: Why am I worthy of her plot? She cares about people being so awkward, so cute.
The male protagonist of World C: Why is this person so stubborn... Really fragrant!
Ruan Zhi: ...

MY REVIEW:
The premise was hilarious. There were a lot of funny antics and misunderstandings in the beginning after Ruan Zhi mixed up the plots. But somewhere in the middle, it started dragging a bit. It was all about the male protagonists fighting over her while she's just trying to fulfill her daily missions and wasn't as funny anymore.
Luckily, the pace picked up and became funny again. I just was kind of surprised that there was any romance. It seemed like Ruan Zhi wasn't really interested in any of the guys because she just wanted to fulfill her cannon fodder female supporting role to be able to go home.
Overall, it wasn't a bad cultivation novel with a sand sculpture protagonist.
In Three Thousand Worlds, everyone is vying to be the protagonist, and the supporting role is not enough. As an uncontested salted fish, Wu You You took over the female supporting role assigned to her by the system without any hesitation. Then, started a happy journey of fast-wearing and eating melons.
#天帝 is possessed by Zeus, sow seeds all over the world, countless illegitimate children, 天後雷霆震 Angry# #It's autumn, it's time to let the Wang Group go bankrupt... But how did our president fall in love with the young lady of the Wang Group? ! #
All kinds of melons, Wu Youyou eats with relish-so exciting! So good! so happy! I really don't understand why those people are vying to be the protagonist. It's so fun to be a supporting role. You don't have to think about anything, just eat melon! But this melon is eaten later... What? ! She is actually the biological mother of the eldest grandson of the Nine Heavens Emperor? ! What? ! She is actually the real daughter of the Wang Group? ! Wu Youyou: Subway, old man, cell phone.jpg? ? ? ? ? I'm obviously just an uncontested spectator who eats melons? ! As a result, this melon ate it... unexpectedly ate it on yourself? ! How is this fat four? !
#I thought I was 猹, but I was a melon? ! # #瓜海滿滿, can you not let me take a place? # #求求了，放過我吧QAQ#
World 1: Little Dragon Girl likes to be a mother (?) Supporting role: love prince, stupid son, overbearing mother, background board brother. ┃ Others: Sweet pet, a soft spot, a female partner. Brief introduction: I thought I was a yin, but I turned out to be a melon? ! Purpose: Don't succumb to fate, be yourself bravely, and strive to live your own wonderful life.

MY REVIEW:
I really enjoyed Wu YouYou's enthusiasm in being a salted fish supporting character who just wanted to watch all of the gossip! In some worlds, she even had a group of like-minded melon eaters to fuel each other's spirits lmao. Unfortunately for her, she kept on ending up as part of the gossip because of the male lead.
The lily/yuri world was hilarious, definitely one of the most funny situations I've read yet.
Oops. Accidentally took a two week hiatus because work was so busy. I worked so much overtime and spent all that extra money buying more scrapbooking supplies lol. But that’s not the point. Here’s a recap of Alec and my week in DC visiting his family!

Yun Xingze transmigrated into an ABO novel and became the cannon fodder omega. The family business is declining and his fiancé doesn’t like him. According to the original plot, with his love-filled brain, he dedicated everything to the male lead Chi Yu, but ended up losing the marriage, finally cutting off his glands and died of infection.
The former mecha genius Yun Xingze said: I am very busy and will not play with you.
After tearing apart the script, he was obsessed with mechas, ready to realize his past life’s dream.
Delicate and frail omegas have always been unsuitable for piloting mecha armor. However, in this year’s XingHai Military Academy’s mecha contest, a new omega student named Yun Xingze appeared, driving a pitiful second-hand armor. Everyone thought he was provoked by the broken engagement and ready to watch a joke, but they were shocked when Yun Xingze suppressed a group of alphas with his mecha!
Everyone: ??? Is this reasonable?!
Something more shocking is yet to come-
Yun Xingze broke the winning streak in the Mecha Contest!
The mecha designed by Yun Xingze was sold at a high price at the auction!
The mecha technology created by Yun Xingze is desired by all-interstellar mecha companies!
The whole interstellar wants to hold his thigh!
——–
After the dissolution of their marriage contract, Chi Yu waited for Yun Xingze to regret it, but the one who regretted it was himself. Fortunately, there is a rule in the Empire: AOs with high pheromone matching must be together.
Yun Xingze is destined to become his fiancee.
However, at the engagement banquet, before Chi Yu had time to propose, Yun Xingze sneered and severed his glands. As described in the original book, the pheromone floated in the air, and like a rose, withered quickly.
Chi Yu was shocked and heartbroken, but before he could do anything, another tall figure hugged Yun Xingze and rushed out of the banquet.
Everyone showed a surprised expression.
Even Yun Xingze looked at the person holding him in surprise-
He was the villain, Luo Wenchuan. In the original book, the second prince of the Star Empire was tall and handsome, but cold and unkind.
But at this moment, his eyes were red with anxiety.

MY REVIEW:
A pretty typical transmigrated character counterattack novel, but the characters were what made it so enjoyable to read. Yun Xingze's bear child antics at times were hilarious. His character growth was great to watch.
In the previous life, after the apocalypse broke out, Seibu County was established as a C-level base, and Gu Qiu owned a house in a prime location close to the base government.
However, the house was secretly sold by her mother when she was in school.
After the apocalypse, Gu Qiu returned from school to Xiwu County, but he didn't even have a place to stay. He was crowded with a group of outsiders in a shed, and struggled to survive. In the end, he was poisoned to death.
Now that Gu Qiu was reborn, there are still a few days before the house will be sold, and in a month, the end of the world will come.
She went home immediately and secured the house and the large area of the roof that came with the house. In the future, there will be more and more shortage of food. She was going to plant food and vegetables on the roof, but she was just planting them. Later, she discovered a secret.
This rooftop does not seem to be an ordinary rooftop.

MY REVIEW:
Based on the summary, I thought this would be a slice of life gardening zombie apocalypse novel. However, it's more action-packed than I thought and also involved cultivation, which I wasn't expecting.
Overall, I liked it! This was a different take on how to survive an apocalypse, and all of the furry friends definitely made it more fun.
At the age of 30, Qiao Sang won almost all authoritative awards at home and abroad, and was conferred a god on his acting skills.
Probably because of her excellent acting skills, she was selected by a magical system and entered one world after another, using her excellent acting skills to complete the tasks of the system.
Whether it's a pure and unpretentious little white lotus, or a sexy, sexy, demon, and coquettish bitch, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.
Qiao Sang has only one purpose - to attack those men and make them mad for her and bang against the wall for her!
In the end, he bowed his head willingly and became her servant under the skirt.
(Everyone in the fast-wearing version loves the heroine.)

MY REVIEW:
I've read a lot of novels by this author and really liked them, so I wasn't surprised by how much I enjoyed reading this novel.
If you don't like having many characters like the protagonist, then you probably won't like this. If you like reading about a woman strategically leading men into fall for her, then you'll really enjoy this book.
I thought Qiao Sang was an awesome protagonist. She tries many different ways to get men to fall for her according to what she has available. Sometimes she messes up, but she immediately works with what she has. The guys she targets are all different and are interesting to see how they end up in her trap.
I especially like the ending and am glad that she has closure.
I only managed to read one book off of this list last month. I'm quite disappointed since I read five books the previous month. Let's do better this month!
Didn't read much this month. I wasn't really feeling it. Instead, I played Hades on my Switch quite a bit and listened to podcasts while on vacation.
Not sure if I'll make my Goodreads goal of reading 50 books. I mean, technically, I've already read over 100 books, but half of those were MTL Chinese webnovels and therefore weren't listed on Goodreads lol. But my OCD wants me to still achieve my 50 book goal on thereee
