Weekly Wrap-up~ 12/28/25-1/3/26
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.
Life
Here we go, 2026. I hope this year is better for the world than 2025 was. I am ready to be back to blogging regularly, to join in with all the memes, and to build and nurture my community, both online and in person. I took some time off reading at the end of December to focus on projects, so I’m ready to dive back into reading again as well.
I usually spend the week between Christmas and New Year catching up on a myriad of projects and making grand plans for the year to come. This year was only slightly different. I did catch up on several projects, and I made some small plans for the coming year, but nothing really big, just some self-care and community building projects that I want to work on. I also set up all of my reading and challenge trackers for the year.
Even though I was busy with projects, it was still a quiet week. No doctor’s appointments or rushing around with errands, just time at home (aside from our regular Friday grocery trip). Now, that we’re into January though, the doctor’s appointments ramp up again.
I also wanted to share some additional posts from December that you may have missed: my bookish goals, blogging goals, life goals, word of the year, and reading challenges. I was going to set my overall reading goal at 175 initially, but decided to set it for 200 with a stretch goal of 250 (and a secret, higher stretch goal that I’m not going to share unless I get close lol).

It sounds like it was a productive week! Good luck with your goals for 2026
Sounds like a good week! Happy New year and good luck with your goals
I love a week like that to do projects and planning. Sadly we had medical appts both Christmas week and New Year’s week. They are relentless. But my daughter has had 2 specialists which will now be every 10-12 months instead of every 6 months. So we are making progress with her health treatments.
Happy New Year!
