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 am currently participating in the April Dewey’s 24-Hour readathon, so that’s helping me get through a ton of books this weekend. I’m hoping that will kickstart a good reading week, but we’ll see.

Mom has admitted that she’s starting to feel the decline and it’s coming faster than she wants. She’s scared. And there’s nothing that I can do. And my brother seems to avoid us. He provides all of the financial security over and above mom’s retirement, and he helps with her glucose monitor and paperwork, but he’s not part of the every day emotional struggles, so I feel like I don’t have support. I feel alone in my own processing of everything. And then there are the choices that I have to face for what happens next with me.
