16 books this year??


Yeah. Admittedly, four of them were primary-aged books - I just wanted to revisit them to see if they were as good as I remember them being. They weren't.

I got a kindle for Christmas, so I've been right into it. Lots of autobiographies at the moment. I'm on goodreads if anyone else is:

haha, I'd have to say that reading is definetly one of my top hobbies- though 16 books this year is a lot! I've been studying for finals so I've read a grand total of one and a half books so far...
anyways my other hobbies include writing fiction and art. I've just discovered how much I adore using water color though so I've ditched other mediums for a while.
I suppose volunteering at the zoo, basically cleaning up after the animals and learning obsessive amounts of facts to spout out at the public, is a major thing I do. learning to handle everything from the porcupine to the owls makes it sooo worth it.

New Zealand seems like such a cool place to visit. Lots of unique wildlife and beautiful scenery.

You guys sound like such fun people. I have always wanted to learn how to fly a plane, and get my license...but that takes a lot of money which I don't have. :( Maybe one day...

As for me...I like nature/wildlife photography. It's just a hobby, I'm definitely not a pro or anything! I also like horseback riding. I galloped for the first time a few months ago! It was awesome!

Beautiful pictures!

We used to have a couple of horses. They're so much fun.
