Congratulations on the weight loss! How exciting! I love the sound of the cello. Hopefully Sophia learning won’t be too painful on the ears! I hope you’re having a wonderful week!

Wow! Congrats on losing 50lbs! That’s great! And how cute that Sophia is learning cello!
Jen at Introverted Reader
Congratulations on your weight loss! You must be proud of yourself!
We were warmer last week then we got down to about 45 degrees last night. It’s that time of year, I guess. Enjoy your week!

Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
Way to go, Sophia! I love the cello; such a gorgeous, rich sound.
Congratulations on a milestone in your weight-loss journey. Well done!
I’m behind on most of my challenges, too, except my Goodreads challenge. Oh, well. What matters most is whether we are enjoying what we read, not so much the quantity of books we get through.

I used to want to learn to play the flute or piano back when i was in school but band was not in the budget. Hope they enjoy learning the cello.
Angela (Angel's Book Nook)
That’s great news your grandbaby is learning to play an instatement. My kid is doing piano. Any music is great to learn. Don’t stress on the challenges. I’m sure you’ll get caught up. Stay cool and Happy reading/listening!

My Goodreads challenge is only at 38 out of 75. I’m afraid my job is really cutting in to my life!
Victoria
It was so hot they canceled recess, the heatwave finally broke here and I hope it doesn’t come back! Losing fifty pounds is a big accomplishment! Plenty of time to catch up on challenges!
Lisa Mandina (Lisa Loves Literature)
We had the heat wave here too! I’m glad this weekend cooled off a bit though. Labor Day weekend is normally miserably hot. I’m behind on several of my challenges as well. Have a great week!

You may be behind on challenges a little but you are having an awesome life. Way to go on the weight loss. I’ve done that and need to do it again.

Congrats on your weight loss! I need to lose 50 x 2 lol Maybe some day. Way to go, Sophia! I hope you have a cooler week, Kim!
Emma @ Words And Peace
Congrats on the -50 lbs! I’d like to lose a few as well. Any secret?
Diana @ Book of Secrets
Congratulations on your weight loss milestone! I hope Sophia enjoys the cello. My Sophia started learning it in elementary school and still plays in college. I love its mournful sound. Have a great week!
Jodie @ That Happy Reader
We also warmed up here (not too hot though) and I’m happy that we get a few more weeks of summer. Congratulations on meeting your weight loss goal! Have a wonderful week ahead.
Idea-ist @ GetLostinLit
We had the opposite problem with our weather, the temp dipped down, which wasn’t quite what we wanted for August. Congrats with your weight loss, that’s not an easy thing to do. I ate salads for three months, and somehow gained, making it easy for me to give up the salads….
Jessica @ a GREAT read
Yeah we’re in our annual heatwave too. Hopefully we’ll be done by late October! Lol. Congrats on the weight loss! That’s incredible!
Nice new read! That’s a new to me one. I never did watch these What If’s when I had Disney+. Hope you enjoy it!
Here’s my StS
Have a GREAT day!

We haven’t had the heatwave threatened yet thank goodness! Congratulations on losing 50 pounds.
Have a great week ahead!
Samy
Hey there!
Congratulations for your reached goals!
I’m doing my best to get “back”, altough I never really left. My blog is always on my mind somehow 😆
Anyway, what exactly is the Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon about? It might depend a bit on, e.g. if it’s for Christmas-y themed books only.
Do you have a post about it with all the info?
Because I might just be interested in hosting. No worries, I will write an email, if I decide for it!
Since it’s like forever of me writing posts, I might skip on this Sunday Post, but hopefully to be able to join next week!
Best regards,
Samy
