After doing monthly wrap-ups in 2025, I decided to go back to weekly wrap-ups for 2026. I’ll be linking up with The Sunday Post hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer, and Sunday Salon hosted by Readerbuzz. I’ll also be linking up with Stacking the Shelves hosted by Reading Reality, and with It’s Monday, What Are Your Reading? hosted by The Book Date.

Life

I ad a bit of a rough week, lots of vision issues and headaches. And I was not in a great headspace at all. Mom’s health is starting to deteriorate, it’s been about 7 months since she got her 1-2 year prognosis. She’s still ok, but has gotten a lot weaker and our weekly grocery trips are harder and harder for her. And I’m just questioning what comes next. Plus everything in the world (or at least this country) is getting worse and worse. There are days I just really want off this ride. So with all of that, reading was pretty much non-existent this week. But I did watch 2 seasons of a Korean physical competition on Netflix because I am strangely fascinated by their strength and capabilities. Of course I love shows like American Ninja Warrior too.
