Happy Post-Halloween!

Yes, I know it’s not quite Monday (expect a new post tomorrow!), but it’s the start of a new month and I’ve a few things to share:

It’s been an exciting first month here at The Monday Diaries. A big thank you to all who’ve shown their support and interest as I get this baby off the ground. It truly means a lot to me. I’ll be thinking of all of you once this site becomes a huge success and the book deal & Netflix Original Series come into fruition. (Hey, I can dream.)

Behold the first-ever volume of The Monday Diaries — a roundup of all of last month’s stories. If you’re brand new to the site, here’s your chance to catch up on what you’ve missed! The month’s most popular post (as determined by page views) is indicated by a star:

The Monday Diaries, Volume 1: October 2015

October 5: The Tipping Point: When I Became Hooked on 5 Favorite Shows

October 12: No Longer Waiting for Gardot: A Night at The Town Hall with Melody Gardot

★October 19: From a Recovering Perfectionist: 5 Ways to Bounce Back from a Bad Day

October 26: Table for One: 5 Perks of Dining Solo

(Observation: I really like the number 5.)

I already have some ideas percolating for November, including a follow-up to the solo dining piece, courtesy of Loneeaters. If there’s anything you’d like to see in an upcoming post, don’t be shy — leave your thoughts in the comments, or shoot me an email at mondaydiaries[at]gmail[dot]com.

Remember that The Monday Diaries is on social media, too! Give it a like on Facebook and/or a follow on Twitter.

Thanks for reading!
