Howdy guys! Happy Sunday!
I’ve been seeing everyone do weekly recaps and I thought it was neat! So here we are with Sunday Shenanigans. we will have a recap of the week that just passed and also a peek into the upcoming week.
It’s the last week of March and I’m still trying to see where the time has gone.
This week I plan on reading 4 books. I know, I know. I love to torture myself and push myself to the limit.
I’m buddy reading Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo with my friend Megan and I’m excited. I am ready to fall in love with Leigh Bardugo’s writing.
Another author that is new to me is Marie Lu. I’m reading Warcross and it’s pretty good so far. I happened to get a signed copy of this from Half Priced Books a couple of months ago for only 8 bucks!
I have an ARC of Like a Boss by Sylvia Pierce and Lili Valente and from the reviews, it should be good.
Last but not least, we have The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw. I started reading this last week and I’m loving the vibe of it.
I’m actually feeling better about this upcoming week. I was feeling down on myself for not having enough reviews up last week. I’m still trying to find my balance between reading, working, and blogging. Also trying to make time for my family. It has really been a struggle.
I have plans to see Love, Simon on Friday with my sister. I swear I’m like the last person to see it. To let you know something about me, I’m the person who always plans to go see movies while they are in the theater but ends up seeing them when they hit the Redbox. It’s not intentional, I just forget or I’m reading.
I am in love with all of the bookish products on I’ve been seeing on Etsy. I haven’t bought anything but my favorites lists are full of stuff. I’m thinking of placing an order soon. Maybe a book sleeve, a candle, and a bookmark to start.
What are some of your favorite items or shops?
The Wicked Deep is so good, I hope it ends up being as good for you as well 🙂 I haven’t seen Love, Simon yet either, and it makes me feel better that it’s not just me. I feel like I’m missing the party though

I was surprised my library had The Wicked Deep already! I heard mixed reviews on WarCross and everybody on Goodreads swears by the Grishaverse trilogy.

Wow, that’s awesome! It just released! Warcross was pretty good, and I wasn’t blown away by the first Grishaverde book, but the trilogy improves with each book!

Fingers crossed that I finish them all this week. I don’t know why I try and fit so many books in a week.
What are you reading?

Good lord, I’m that worst if that makes you feel better! I finally had to give in and lessen my expectations, because it’s not worth driving yourself mad over. It takes all the fun out of it if you do, right? Small successes ya know! 😃

I just finished Shadow and Bone and I gave it 4 stars. I think the review will be up tomorrow morning!
& I can see why it would get mixed reviews. I feel like sometimes I’m missing a part of the story.
