The TIME Magazine Must-Read Books 2023

This list was published a couple of weeks ago (see here), and out of these one hundred books, I read only two and heard about four more, which sounds like a miserable outcome. I am not sure there are that many people who would be able to read a hundred books in a year, and they do not have to be from the must-read list, but still. I feel like in the previous years, more titles sounded familiar.

I would be curious to know how many books from this list other people read.

Apple Watch Upgrade

This upgrade was pushed last week, and it was massive! Most times, you do not notice any difference, but this one was drastic!

All the buttons changed their functionality, and I didn’t know what to press to get to the screens I needed (for example, I didn’t know how to play sound on my phone when I was trying to locate it or how to start an activity. There are a couple of nice enhancements; for example, the workouts are passed back to the phone in real-time. Still, the inability to find things fast is a major problem – I will get used to in eventually, but it was not something I planned for the past week!

The Best Advent Calendar

The girls opened the first windows of their Advent calendars. As for me, I opened mine last week, when Boris was still here, because I knew that I wouldn’t be able to open it half of the time, and also, I wanted to share at least some of it with him.

My Advent calendar this year was a gift from my friend in Sweden. the one I already showed, and now I can tell that everything tastes even better than in looks!
