What I Read in September

Basically the big Golden family happening of September (which led to me basically doing not much of anything else in September) is that we added a new member to our little family. I introduced him in his own post, but just in case you missed it...

Pompom! Named for my favorite Homestar Runner character, naturally. Because of Pompom, I am now spending 90% of my free time laying on the couch or my bed getting snuggles.

He's becoming more and more playful, but his favorite thing is still laying on my face while I try to read. He's met his big brothers but isn't quite a fan yet. The puppies are terrified of him and do their best to always avoid eye contact. He hasn't spit at them recently, so we're making baby steps towards friendship.

This is Pompom's preferred state of affairs and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thrilled about it. Lounging under a blanket is also my preferred state of being, but I do need to get back on track with my yoga. It's just so hard to move a purring kitten off your face in order to exercise. It has, however, meant lots of time for reading. Here's what I read in September:
