Just Me

      This month’s “books I read” blog post is a little different, mostly because my reading habits this month were a little different! I read books but, in between, I also finished reading books I started reading before November.   Even so, I’m happy with the result. And I made it to 100 books read in a year so far this month! Yay! I read a good number of books for a month that was quite busier than usual for me! I did NaNoWriMo this month, and my quest to write a 50K-word novel kept me busy and preoccupied! Plus, we had quite a bit of sickness in the house again, although thankfully, I was not sick for several weeks like LAST month! We are all better now and, hopefully, sickness has OFFICIALLY left our house. Looking forward to seeing what December brings!   Here is the list of books I finished reading this month, along with the books I read (I will add review links at a later time):   94.. FINISHED: The House By the Cemetery by John Everson   95. FINISHED: The Shado

Supposedly, this scholarship would pay $21,000 for each undergrad year. At the time he was awarded the scholarship, he was told it was a FULL scholarship. So we were all under the impression that this meant it would cover the cost of his tuition for 4 years of college education. Around this time, he was also accepted at three universities, and he chose to attend the one that was closest to us in order to cut down on cost of room and board as well as transportation. Since he didn’t have a college fund set up for him to help pay for school, we were all thrilled that he had received this scholarship. We all thought we wouldn’t have to worry about him being able to afford going to college.   This was especially a big concern for me. I had attended college (a community college) for three years until there was no longer any funding to attend.
