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 saw a post on Threads this week talking about adding whimsy into your life and someone suggested doing normal things in a blanket fort. And now I want to incorporate a blanket fort into my birthday week celebrations. I was thinking either for the readathon or the movie marathon. I don’t have a lot of space, so I’m not sure how I’m going to make it happen, but I’m determined to do so. Just 2 weeks to go! I’m excited about all of my plans and a part of me hopes that some surprise gifts may come, but I don’t really expect any. I’ve posted my wish lists in the side bar and on my Instagram, but just putting them together was fun… kind of like window shopping.

Today was a great reading week and I am so happy to have my reading rhythm back. Hopefully I can keep this going for the rest of the year, or at least as long as possible.
