Ugh. I’m late again. But at least I’m actually posting this on Monday this week, like I should. Last week’s Weekly Wrap-Up posting was abysmal.

Actually, the posting was abysmal in general this past week. I only got two posts out, which sucked. But at least I actually started reading a book. Finally, the first book of January 2025. It only took almost three weeks to start reading it.

Anyway, let’s start the wrap-up.

Friday 1/17: First Line Friday

Last Friday, I participated in First Line Fridays for the first time in several weeks. First Line Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers (formerly) hosted by Wandering Words.

Sunday 1/19: Birthstone Book Covers

Yesterday, I participated in my favorite monthly post, Birthstone Book Covers. Birthstone Book Covers is a fun little post created and hosted by Leslie @ Books Are the New Black.

Each month, for the post, you feature book covers that are either the same color of the month’s birthstone or include the color in the title. This month was January, and its birthstone is garnet. So the colors are all different shades of red.

Books I Read Last Week

💖🎁 Wrapping It All Up 💖🎁

So yeah, last week was pretty pathetic regarding my blog posting. But at least I started reading another book finally (I didn’t finish it before the week was over – but still). My main goal for this coming week is to just straight up do better in general. Here’s hoping I do it. 🍀🤞

Concerning what I’m thinking of reading next, after Liar’s Kingdom, I’m not fully decided yet. I still have to read The Raven Tower which I got a couple months ago, but I’m also very drawn to A Crown of Ivy and Glass, which I acquired about a week ago.

There are also a couple of books I got for Christmas that I’m interested in – namely A Study in Charlotte, This is How You Lose the Time War and The Wren in the Holly Library. But who knows when I’ll get to them all and in which order. I’d also like to finally get to the Crescent City novels sooner rather than later. Which book will I end up reading? We’ll just all have to see what happens together, I guess.

Regarding stuff outside of books and the blog… not too much is going on at the moment, honestly. It’s snowed a couple of times in the last couple of weeks, which was annoying at first, but other than that there isn’t really anything else that’s gone on. I do want to start cooking more at home, though. So I guess that’s kind of new?

Anyway, as always, thank you to everyone for reading, and I hope you all have a wonderful day/night!

See ya ~Mar
