Disney, Covid, and The Book I’m Not Reading

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you all had a lovely end to your holiday season and a wonderful start to 2024! 

When I last left you, it was the final day of Blogmas! I absolutely loved participating in Blogmas again and I’ve already started working on Blogmas 2024 🙂

Disney

Disney World was amazing!! We saw it all, we did it all, we ate it all. All 4 parks, all the best rides, fireworks, parade, Disney Springs…all of it. So much fun! I learned a RIDICULOUS amount on this trip and at some point I want to make another video of all of my tips and tricks. Hopefully I can film that soon before Disney goes and makes changes as they always seem to be doing!

Disney was awesome and then Daytona Beach was beautiful. We took a dinner boat cruise, played in the ocean, took an airboat tour through the swamp, held an alligator (!), swam in the pool, relaxed in the hot tub, and so much more.

And then the night before our flight back home…

I got Covid.

Fucking Covid

Well shit.

I spent New Year’s Eve quarantined in our bedroom while my family celebrated together downstairs. It was lonely and I fell asleep somewhere around 10:00…but when the fireworks woke me at midnight, I was able to yell Happy New Year to my family from my bed. No midnight kisses for me!

Thankfully I’m now feeling 100 percent back to normal and can finally find some time to sit down to work on my little blog. I have some fun things planned for Book Coffee Happy in 2024 and I’m ready to GOOOOO!

What I’m Reading

I started listening to this audiobook last week! Aaaaaaand about an hour and a half in, I stopped listening to it. Just not for me. No real thoughts other than the story just didn’t grab me and I HATED the audiobook narrators voices so much. Combine those reasons aaaaaand….moving on. I had actually checked out the book from the library but then started listening to the audiobook version of it before I sat down to read it!

Goodreads Synopsis of The List {Yomi Adegoke}:

Ola Olajide, a celebrated journalist at Womxxxn magazine, is set to marry the love of her life in one month’s time. Young, beautiful, and successful—she and her fiancé Michael are considered the “couple goals” of their social network and seem to have it all. That is, until one morning when they both wake up to the same message: “Oh my god, have you seen The List?”

It began as a crowdsourced collection of names and somehow morphed into an anonymous account posting allegations on social media. Ola would usually be the first to support such a list—she’d retweet it, call for the men to be fired, write article after article. Except this time, Michael’s name is on it.

Compulsively readable, wildly entertaining, and filled with sharp social insight, The List is a piercing and dazzlingly clear-sighted debut about secrets, lies, and the internet. Perfect for fans of Such a Fun Age, Luster, and My Dark Vanessa, this is a searing portrait of these modern times and our morally complicated online culture.

***SIDE NOTE: This synopsis compares this book to My Dark Vanessa…ummmm no. My Dark Vanessa is AWESOME. Read my review (including the book synopsis HERE).***
