Weekly Recap: 06.14.21 - 06.20.21

Happenings Off The Blog


I’ve been fighting with myself again this week. I have finally found a theme that I absolutely love and can’t stop looking at. Unfortunately, it’s still on Blogger. I love Blogger. It gives you more freedom than free WordPress. I’m cheap when it comes to purchasing things that aren’t books. I just get so discouraged from posting because I don’t get the same interactions here that I would on WordPress. It’s a known fact that people prefer WordPress. I don’t like any of the themes and I’m not spending $50+ on a beautiful theme. I need to keep reminding myself that numbers don’t matter and I’m blogging for myself, not everyone else.



This week, I’ve been obsessed with listening to My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion. My neighbors have probably heard me belting this song like my life depended on it. With this new obsession, I have come to the realization that Titanic is one of my all-time favorite movies.



Father’s Day is this weekend! Our plans are to go to our family’s home and just hang out and relax.



We had Julian’s siblings over on Saturday night to watch the Lightning game with us. They didn’t win this game, unfortunately. Hopefully the next one!



Not much has happened this week. I had a bit of a traumatic experience at work and I’m still working on overcoming the new fears that have been brought upon me. I’m not going to go into detail about what happened because from what I’ve seen, it hasn’t been broadcasted in the news so I’m just gonna keep it quiet for now.

New Books This Week

Capture The Crown by Jennifer Estep

The Maidens by Alex Michaelides

Broken Web by Lori M. Lee

This Week I Read

House Of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland: I’m not a big fan of this book… It took a long time to get through it and it’s so short. (review to come!)



Den of Vipers by K.A. Knight: I am trudging through this one. I was physically reading it… I can no longer do that without constantly rolling my eyes. I’m switching to audiobook in hopes I can finish it faster that way.

Tell me about your week! Did anything exciting happen? What books did you read? Did you get any new books?

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!

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
