Hello Lovely Bookworms!

This week has been ridiculous for me. Monday was definitely a Monday and then it just stayed that way for the rest of the week.I’m literally so glad it is the weekend!

I think one reason my week has been so off was because of my absense last weekend. When you are gone from home, even for just a couple days, your whole schedule gets thrown off. Because of this, I didn’t post as much on here and that’s okay. I feel like I am finally keeping my head above water, ha.

My reading also struggled this week but I will say that I only have 3 books left I would like to finish this month and two are already halfway read.

Hello Lovely Bookworms!

It seem that when I have a slow week the next week is pretty productive! This week definitely was and I’m glad I am finally at a point where I can enjoy books other than arcs. (Only 3 to go!)

Thanksgiving was a nice time with my husband and daughter. Holidays always make me miss my family. Being states away can suck at times.

As for Black Friday, I hate crowds. I had to get cold medicine for my daughter and my anxiety was through the roof. Never again, lol.

All in all, it was a great week. I had a great month of reading and now we are onto my most favorite time of the year! Only a month and 11 days until my birthday!

Hello Lovely Bookworms!

This week has been filled with more WebToon and honestly, just feeling tired. I didn’t get as much reading done as I would have liked but you know, sometimes we just have these weeks.

Hopefully I can finish up a few more arcs this week since I am back down to 5! I also was picked for my first blog tour and I am really excited about that!

Today, I plan on getting ready for the week and writing up some blog posts. All of my reviews are ready but I have to do the fun posts. I also need to take photos for my Instagram.

Hello Lovely Bookworms!

Guys, I went down a deep hole yesterday. That hole was WebToon. I’ve only started three but I am already hooked! I literally read all of Lore Olympus in one day. Hades is wonderful and great! I need more of him now!

I did get a lot of reading done this week, besides spending time on that app. I am down to 6 arcs and I’m proud of myself! Now to finish them all up and get back to reading what I already own, which is a lot…

Hello Lovely Bookworms!

You ever take a break from social media/blog and then realize how much catching up you have to do because of it? Yeah, this is always me when I do it and then I regret my decisions, haha.

So yeah, I’ll be catching up slowly today because I need to look at what everyone posted recently! I also need to go pick up groceries soon and maybe I’ll just treat myself to sushi because I deserve it!

Hello Lovely Bookworms!

I have been scarce on here and Instagram the last couple of days. I honestly just felt burned out and needed a nice break from social media and my blog. I’m glad I took it because I feel more refreshed.

I will have new book reviews this week and a couple I am real excited to share! I still need to write a few blog posts so hopefully I can get photos taken and those written. Wish me luck!

Hello Lovely Bookworms!

This week has been a better week when it comes to my mental health. I have also been staying caught up on here and Instagram so that is definitely a win!

Nothing too exciting has happened besides the weather finally starting to feel like its fall. It makes my Minnesota blood so happy. I also got some apple cider so honestly, I’m just going to cozy up with a book and a blanket.

Hello Lovely Bookworms!

The last couple of days have been a struggle when it comes to mental health. I did go book shopping to try and help. So far today is going a lot better but anything can happen since it is only the morning.

My husband and daughter want to drive an hour and a half today to go see his cousin and head to a car show where they are also doing sculpture carving with chainsaws. I’d rather stay home and have no social interactions because it gives me anxiety among other things. It’ll probably be good for me to get out of the house but I just like staying in my normal routine.

I’m just babbling on today, ha. Anyways, I am a bit behind on here when it comes to all your lovely posts and I will get caught up today before I leave!

Hello Lovely Bookworms!

This week has been decent minus trying to potty train my daughter. She is more stubborn than any person I know! It’s hard, so hard.

I did get a few book boxes in the mail for Capturing the Devil and Five Dark Fates. Although I didn’t like either book, I still appreciate the fandom and the books that came before them.

I still am reading some mediocre books and I just want to read one that I can gush over! Is that to much to ask? Hopefully my interest will be sparked soon.

Hello Lovely Bookworms!

This week has been a pretty hard one for me. It’s just one of those weeks where I am just anxious all the time and get stressed easily. My husband has been back in school for three weeks now and I am still trying to find a routine for it all. I feel like I am always falling behind and never getting caught up.

I at least got to spend some quality time with my daughter at the library. She has been begging me to go and I can’t say no to my bookworm-in-training! I also got my car fixed so that’s good too except that owning a car is expensive!

Hopefully I can find a routine for me that works this week.
