Weekly Recap: Jan. 6th - Jan. 12th


Away From The Blog





I'm not gonna lie, this week started out really awesome. Then I made a $400 financial oopsie. As much as I was disappointed with myself, I'm fine with it now. It's not like I lost $400 and was never able to see it again. It went towards a bill that I'm working on paying off anyway. This has actually made me more excited to paying off my car because that money didn't have any interest put on it and it went straight to the principle!





I also made a career choice this week. Once I am able, I'm going to apply for another promotion. Which means, more money and time at work. Yay! I don't know why I was so skeptical about moving up again. I was just really nervous. I'm really excited to see where this can possibly lead me.





I'm also working on my attitude this week. Especially at work. Sometimes I just have clipped responses and I don't seem friendly to talk with. I'm working on myself. I want everyone around me to be happy and I want to be happy.





I unhauled about 170ish books. I dropped them all off at my local library earlier this week. They seemed so grateful to receive such a haul. It's definitely made me want to do it more often.





I guess I had a pretty chill week. I didn't go do anything. I just worked and read! I had a pretty decent reading week. I finished two books, making me one book ahead of schedule to meeting my goal for the year. I'm currently only reading one book and I'm enjoying it so far!





I finished two books this week. One of those books is definitely going to be one of my favorites for 2020 and the other one was just really kinda bad.

Weekly Recap: 08.02.21 - 08.08.21

Happenings Away From The Blog Hello and welcome back to my blog! I decided to start blogging again last week. I’m currently still going strong. By that, I mean I haven’t wanted to quit yet. I’m beginning to realize that going to WordPress is what makes me hate blogging. I’m not going back there again. In the coming weeks, I may not be blogging as much though. We’re in the process of moving so my spare time is either spent cleaning or packing. We haven’t moved since 2012 and I’m extremely nervous about this move. I’m also extremely annoyed that I have so many books to pack. As much as I love my books, I never thought I would ever have to move them. This is kind of part of the reason why I haven’t been buying as many physical books. Not much has happened work-wise. I got a super nice compliment from a client and it made me feel a lot better about what I do at work. I also took three days off, equalling five days off work. My son starts school again on Tuesday and I’m currently just helpi

Books On My Fall TBR!

Image
Top Ten Tuesday was created by  The Broke and the Bookish and is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl . This week’s prompt is to talk about the books on our Fall TBR!  I'm not going to lie, I don't normally make any TBRs. I typically choose a book at random to read. I do this in order to make sure every single book on my TBR has a chance to be read. Babel by R.F. Kuag: I am actually dying to read this book. I have seen nothing but great reviews for this one. Luckily, if I love it, I already have two beautiful editions 😍 Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner: I actually have an arc of this one from NetGalley. I highly enjoyed Meryl's debut novel and I'm excited to see if I will feel the same about her newer release. Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton: Soooo many people have read and loved this book. I love a good dark romance and I'm definitely making sure I pick this one up soon. A Light In The Flame by Jennifer L. Armentrout: This one doesn't come out for a w
