The Sunday Post~ 5.9.21

Sunday Post

The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted by Kim at Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. Join in weekly, bi-weekly or for a monthly wrap up.

In My Life:

My promotion went into effect this week, but no one outside of upper management really knows about it, which is a little weird. The AA team has a meeting next week, so hopefully it will be announced to them at that time, so they don’t think I’m just getting in their business lol. But I also found out my direct supervisor (who runs our office) is leaving, so things at the office are a bit wonky right now. But, we’re using this to make some restructuring changes and adding a new, much needed position to the team. In the meantime, my direct supervisor will temporarily be my mentor, whom I adore, so that works out well for the moment.

I got through a bunch of short reads this week, and it is so nice to feel like I’ve accomplished something! I’m toying with the idea of planning out themes for me reading each month for the rest of the year, like one month read only Black authors, another month read only Nora Roberts books, another month focus on children’s books or middle grade. I’ve only been thinking about it for a couple of days, so I’ve done zero planning, but I think it could be fun? Maybe just what I need to keep pushing myself out of this slump.

On the Blog:
