Hey everyone! I’m a bit late with this again, but yesterday was Memorial Day, so this weekend was a bit busy. But it’s still early in the week, so here’s another Weekly Wrap-Up!

I’m simultaneously happy and annoyed with my productivity last week. On the one hand, I posted three times on the blog and finally got another book review out. On the other hand though… I didn’t get to reading a new book. But I just started another, and I have other book reading plans, so that won’t be a problem this week.

Anyway, without further ado, let’s get on with the weekly wrap-up!

Wednesday 5/21: Can’t-Wait Wednesday

Last Wednesday, I did another Can’t-Wait Wednesday. Three weeks in a row! Yay! May was just a good month in regards to new books that looked interesting to me.

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme currently hosted by Tressa @ Wishful Endings. It focuses on books you’re looking forward to reading, usually new releases.

Friday 5/23: First Line Friday

On Friday, I participated in First Line Fridays for the first time in a while – like a month. First Line Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers (formerly) hosted by Wandering Words.

Sunday 5/25: Impossible Creatures Review

On Sunday, I finally posted my book review for Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell. It’s a generally well-written, middle grade fantasy-adventure book with gorgeous artwork; which includes the cover as well as pictures in the interior of the novel.

It took me a bit to get this review out, which annoyed me, but I’m happy to have finally written and posted it. I enjoyed this book and gave it ★★★✬☆.

Books I Read Last Week

💖🎁 Wrapping It All Up 💖🎁

So yeah, I’m generally happy with my blog actually last week, but I wish I would have read and finished a book. This week, my goal for the blog is to do at least as many posts as last week, and to read at least one book.

Regarding specific blog stuff, I want to do a couple of my usual weekly posts, and in particular want to do another Bewitching Book Covers, as it’s been awhile. I also want to do another book review. In relation to what I’m currently reading and planning on reading next… Well, I’ve finally started reading Behooved by M. Stevenson and am planning on finishing it in the next day or so. Then, I’m gonna read the Fishman Island Arc from One Piece.

That’s right, it’s been a while, but I’m finally continuing on with my buddy read of One Piece with my spouse. We’ve actually been meaning to get back to it for some time now, but it just hasn’t worked out. We have still been buddy reading stuff though – we both recently read Impossible Creatures together and liked it.

After that, I think I’ll finally read The Ashfire King by Chelsea Abdullah. It’s been my immediate To Be Read Pile since it came out last month, and I’m a little annoyed I haven’t gotten around to reading it yet, but I’ve been busy with other things, and Impossible Creatures had a time limit to it since we were borrowing it from my spouse’s family. But I think I’ll definitely be able to read it next week.

Concerning stuff outside of the blog and books, last week has our big cleaning day of the month. So our house is now freshly cleaned. I’m also continuing with my diet, as well, and have been eating better and doing more physical activity.

I wanted to note real quick that next week will probably see a decrease in blog activity here. My spouse and I are doing a staycation, and I think I’m just gonna take it easy mostly. I might do a post or two, but if I do I’ll have probably prepared them and scheduled them ahead of time. I just… want to relax. I want to take a break. I’ve been feeling a little burnt out with the blog on and off for the past couple of months (hence the weeks where I only did like two posts), and I think taking a break during our vacation is what I need. So yeah, you probably won’t see much from me next week.

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

See ya ~Mar
