Alli the Book Giraffe

Hello readers! I took a little unintended hiatus this past month. I just didn’t have any time to read books or write blog posts. Honestly, I finally got back into the habit of reading every day, and then life took over.

Life Update|

September was a long month. My daughter started doing online school instead of in-person school. She just was still not doing the best. Once she started doing online school, she started nearly getting straight A’s.

I started a new term at SNHU. This is one of my hardest yet. I’m taking business Law this time, and I also have to do video projects for the first time. I swear, this is the first term that I genuinely thought about quitting. It got so difficult for a minute there.

I made the President’s List! I didn’t think I made it, but I did.

I met someone! Since my husband and I separated in February 2024, I spent most of my time just focusing on my daughter. He is finally at a point where he is seeing her more, so I joined a dating app.

Anyhow, I was talking to this guy for about a week before we finally went on a date. And, it was amazing. I’m autistic, and so is he. So, it was such a nice change. I’ve never really been around an autistic guy before. We are so similar and I had a good time.

I never thought I’d even try dating again. It just felt so daunting for me, but here I am.

He is so amazing. Unlike any man I’ve ever met. I can’t even lie, I have such a great time with him. I can be 100% myself around him and that is really rare for me, especially for someone I just met. I don’t know how to act, but I’m having a great time.

Upcoming This Week|

I’m hoping to at least post a WWW Wednesday this week.

📚 What I’m Reading|

I have been going back and forth between these two books this week. I hope to finish FBAA this week. I really love it, but just haven’t had much time to read.

I also don’t really feel comfortable reading spicy romance books around people, specifically my child.

📺 What I’ve Watched|

My date and I went and saw The Long Walk. This is a Stephen King book that I actually have not read.

I really enjoyed this movie. It reminded me a lot of Battle Royale, but The Long Walk came out quite a bit before. I’d like to get around to reading the book now that I’ve watched it.

We went out and spent the whole day together on a different day and ended up seeing HIM as well. This was a football horror movie following a guy training to become a quarterback.

It was really an interesting movie. I mean, it is a Jordan Peele movie. It has football, is a little culty, and it was too gory. I thought there would be a ton of body horror, but it wasn’t that bad.
