Celebrate the Small Things
Celebrate the Small Things is a weekly bloghop now hosted by Lexa Cain. The idea is to post anything you want to celebrate from the last week, no matter how small.
This week I'm celebrating:
- A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas. It's a huge book, and I finished it in 5 days, which is quite good since I've been at work. I stayed up until 1.30 Sunday morning reading it; something I haven't done in a long time!
- Coffee - I'm really appreciating it this week!
- I've been teaching myself to play the piano, and it's going quite well - there's nothing like creating music with your own hands.
I've always fancied playing the piano, must be lovely. Hope the practise goes well. There is nothing like a great book . . . you want to read it fast and yet you don't want it to end!
ReplyDeleteI'm a musician and yes, it's special to be able to create one's own music.
ReplyDeleteI'm envious of anyone who can play an instrument, let alone teach themselves! Maybe a video on your blog soon?
ReplyDeleteHi Laura - well done on the piano side ... glad you could fit that in while reading your book ... and coffee - oh ok keeps you awake ... have a good weekend ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteWell done on your piano lessons. And I love the satisfaction of finishing a bulky book in record time.

Congratulations on learning to play the piano. I played a little, but was never good at it. In fact, I think my teacher retired after teaching me for a short time. Maybe I'm responsible, yipes. We celebrate coffee all the time. We love it. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI celebrate coffee every day… Good luck with the piano! My son plays, but he hasn't taught himself.
ReplyDeletePiano is my personal favorite. It's a great way to let out those emotions and be carried away.
ReplyDeleteWell done on learning new things! And piano playing sounds such a fab thing to learn!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to finish large books. Hope you finish another large book by next month. I myself find it a challenge to read anything over 400 books so I try to save those ones to listen on audio book. My current book:The Mercedes Killer by Stephen King.
ReplyDeleteI loved Sarah's first couple books. Haven't read the later ones though. They got too...grown up for me.
ReplyDeleteWay to go with piano! Keep at it. There was nothing better when I was in high school and I just needed a release. Sitting down and letting the fingers take over was medicine to the soul.
