Uh, so it’s been quite a while. Sorry about that – I was dealing with a lot of really rough Real Life Stuff. The last month or so has really been a rollercoaster for me, but I think I’m finally starting to feel ready to be getting back to normal.
Anyway, unfortunately I didn’t read anything in the past few weeks, but with everything going on, I didn’t expect to. I’m not upset about that for the same reason. Likewise, I didn’t really do much posting on the blog, either. But, again, I’m not disappointed about that this time around, because of everything that’s been going on.
Anyway, without further ado, let’s get on with the Weekly Wrap-Up!
Tuesday 10/14: Top Ten Tuesday
A few Tuesdays ago, I participated in Top Ten Tuesday again for the first time in a couple weeks. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly post currently hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It celebrates lovely lists, wonderful books and the bookish community. The prompt for that week was Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time.
Thursday 10/30: Blogging Birthday
A week and a half ago, on the last Thursday of October, I did a post celebrating the anniversary of the day I first posted on The Blog That Nobody Knows. It was several days late, as my actual blogging birthday is October 18th, but I still wanted to acknowledge it regardless.
Friday 10/31: Halloween / Birthstone Book Covers
The Friday from a week and a half ago was October 31st, which is Halloween. So I’ll say it again: Happy Halloween!! 🎃👻 It was a pretty chill day for us at our house, we handed our candy to a few groups of kids and just relaxed and watched some TV. I had my Halloween decorations and candles going and it was really nice.
I also posted on Halloween. I participated in Birthstone Book Covers – just barely getting it in before October was over. 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 October, and its birthstones are tourmaline and opal. So the colors of the month were pink and iridescent.
Books I Read Over the Last Three Weeks
Wrapping It All Up
So yeah, I didn’t really do much in the last few weeks. But as I mentioned several times, there was a lot going on last month. Honestly, the last two and a half months have been super rough. But, I’m trying to get things in my life back to normal, and I think I’m ready to get back in the game with the blog again.
I have a bunch of books on my TBR that I still have to read, though I’m not sure which ones I’m going to read next. I do have an idea about the posts I want to do this week for the blog, though. I want to do my Most Interesting Looking New Books of November 2025 post, as well as my monthly reading wrap-up for October 2025. I’m not sure what else I’ll post, though I’m hoping to get a book review out as well. We’ll see, though.
As I highlighted above, Halloween was about a week and a half ago. And it was pretty nice, even after everything that went on. Concerning other stuff with life outside the blog, there’s really nothing else that went on, besides all of the rough stuff that was going on that I’m not gonna elaborate on. I guess that my spouse and I have still been kind of watching what we eat and stuff, but nothing else.
Anyway, as always thank you for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful day/night! As well as a much better week than I’ve been having!
See ya ~Mar
