Animal Crossing Readathon Days 3-6

Day 3: March 11

I woke up with some bad news about jobs I had applied for and decided that if I really care about environmental issues as much as I claim to, then I should be talking more about the issues I care about on the platforms that I have available to me. As a result, I decided to start reading This Changes Everything by Naomi Klein in preparation to review and discuss it in depth. This book covers the issues with capitalism and climate change amazingly and I cannot wait to discuss it with you all.

I also got my Animal Crossing Amiibo Series 4 Card Album in the mail! I am very excited to continue my collection! I also have a number of the series 1 cards up for sale on Ebay right now, so check those out if you are interested.

Tonight I made my take on the Mediterranean couscous from Hello Fresh. I roasted some asparagus and tomatoes in the oven with olive oil, Italian seasoning, pepper, and garlic salt. I also put some chick peas in the oven to roast with olive oil, paprika, pepper, and garlic salt. While these were in the oven I melted some butter and added some garlic and green onions to the pot. I tossed the couscous in this mixture and let it brown slightly before adding my chicken broth. Once the couscous was cooked, I added my vegetables and chick peas. Top with some feta cheese and you're done! It was so good!

Day 4: March 12

I continued with This Changes Everything a bit but had a lot of errands to do today. I did manage to listen to Opal by Maggie Steifvater which is a story set after the events that take place in the Raven Cycle Series.
My Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch Controller with KK Slider on it arrived a day early!
Also, Pocket Camp updated to promote New Horizons! How cute is that?


Day 5: March 13

I was able to pick up my special edition Animal Crossing New Horizons Nintendo Switch! I was mostly distracted by this and our brand new washing machine today, but did manage to read a bit of Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Claire. I decided to give the Shaddowhunters universe a second change and am glad I did! I picked up Clockwork Angel with low expectations, but ended up liking the characters way better than in the mortal instruments and being interested in the story as well.

Day 6: March 14

Only read about 2 chapters of Clockwork Angel today. Still enjoying it a lot, definitely want to read all of Cassandra's books now. Finally starting to understand what all the hype has been about. We had to go out to buy groceries and boy are the stores crazy busy and those shelves are empty! Hope everyone calms down and stays safe through all the virus craziness!
I also decided to paint my nails to match the colors of the joycons for my switch.
