It's a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things you received, share news about what is coming up on your blog for the week ahead, and more.
Another uneventful week (at home anyway). It's been raining every afternoon and is Hot Hot hot! Yesterday it was up to 102 degrees before noon!
As usual, there's a lot of crappy things going on in the US right now and while I am trying to speak out against racism and hatred in our country, it is quite overwhelming, so I've been trying to meditate more and the best way for me to zone out and put the stress behind me is to paint or draw or just create things. So I've been painting bookmarks.
Here's one I made for myself!
It reminds me of this blog's early days when the header was a spacescape!
NEW TO MY SHELVES
I made a trip to the thrift store yesterday and found Carve the Mark for 50 cents! I know there's a lot of controversy around this book and I honestly didn't have any interest in reading it but the book itself is quite gorgeous so I couldn't pass it up. (Apologies for the crappy photo!)
I also received my August OwlCrate but I'm going to wait to do an unboxing. I may finally do a sub box review for this one!
I did receive a couple of books that I haven't taken pictures of yet so I'll try to remember to post them next week.
WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED
I reviewed some Back to School items for National Geographic Kids, shared my Can't Wait Wednesday for the week, signed up for the Bout of Books 20 Read-a-thon that starts Monday, and reviewed middle grade fantasy, The Princess and the Page by Christina Farley.
RECENTLY READ
Nothing because I'm a slow reader these days and I spent most of my free time painting.
CURRENTLY READING
I'm honestly having such a hard time with The Handmaid's Tale. The content is infuriating.
