Weekly Wrap-Up (August 12)

 

And another week bites the dust. I swear they’re going faster!

Temperatures have plummeted these last few days. Now, I realise I asked for a break from the heat but … going from 37°C to 21°C is a tad on the extreme side. I’ve gone from barely wearing anything to adding extra layers. I know, there’s just no pleasing me 😉

On to the books then!

Books I’ve read this week

The lack of sleep during the massive heatwave caught up with me and I had one of those days where I just couldn’t focus on anything and ended up chatting with friends while playing a silly game on my tablet. You know, like one of those incredibly productive days. Not. For a minute there, I worried I lost my reading mojo but no. (Thank goodness, since I already lost my reviewing mojo and that’s bad enough)

However, all is well again and I somehow managed to read 7 books again.

Books I’ve bought this week

Wait for it!

…..

Waaaaiiiit for it!

….

NONE! Who knew I had it in me?! 😂

Just the one, for blog tour purposes. Those four requests I mentioned last week are STILL pending! Talk about testing my very limited patience. And I may have added a fifth in the meantime. Oops.

Did you count them? That’s right! One blog tour! ONE! Enjoy the feeling while it lasts 😂

I am so counting down the days until my holiday! Four weeks to go. I’ve already made a pile of books to take with me. That’s not too early, is it? Of course, I also keep changing it because I’m apparently incredibly indecisive. 🙄

How do you decide what to take with you on holiday? Do you focus on ARC’s, for instance? Do you try to stay ahead on your schedule for when you return? Or do you just read for pleasure and not worry about deadlines and commitments?

That’s it for another week! Hope you all have a great one! Happy reading! xx
