Weekly Wrap-Up 5/10-5/16/26

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, 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
This week was weird. I don’t really know how else to explain it. I was constantly behind on everything. I still have 2 posts that were supposed to go up this week that I haven’t even finished, so I’ll be adding them to next week. And I have no idea what is going on with my reading. I’m reading everyday, but I’m still not finishing anything. I don’t know what is up with that. I thought April was a bad reading month, but May has been much worse.
There is something that has been going well, though. I have finished planning out what I’ll be doing for my “Celebrate 55” birthday week celebration and even made some graphics for it. I’ll be sharing more as it gets closer, since it’s still 2 months away. Everything that I’ve planned is super simple (and free of course), but I’m adding that little bit of extra flare to it all.
