Weekly Wrap Up | 4/27/25 – Past Midnight Book Reviews & More

Aloha friends!

Another week is over and here’s what happened:

+ It was a weird week for my kids school schedule – my 12 year old had SBA testing for 2 days and ended school at 11am (lucky him!). Then my daughter had a waiver day on Friday so they both got a little bit of a break I’d say.

+ The Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders went live this week. I had my calendar as it being on Thursday but I had a brain fart and didn’t realize that meant it would go live earlier in Hawaii on Wednesday, at 6pm. I only realized this at 6:45pm when it was trending on Twitter, I was so mad at myself. It was pretty much sold out everywhere but I told my son we had a chance for Gamestop the next day. But while my hubby was on Best Buy’s site and in a queue waiting for 30 minutes, I decided to hop onto Best Buy on my laptop and I waited maybe 5 minutes before I got to order! 🙏🏽. Here I was freaking out and my son said he was never worried. Oh how nice for him! 😅 But I knew how bad he’s been wanting this Switch so I really wanted to get a pre-order for him. He paid for it with money saved up but yeah, my job was just to do the pre-order.

+ I was supposed to be on a book buying ban but I got invited to sign up for the YA box for Fairy Loot. I’ve never had a Fairy Loot subscription and honestly I have been eyeing all their books on bookstagram and had book envy. 😩 I actually wanted the adult book box but who knows how long I have to wait for that. If I get that then I’ll cancel the YA one. But yeah…books are getting me through this year – it’s like book therapy. 😅 So I’m excited, maybe I’ll cancel Kindle Unlimited? Maybe…only because I have so many arcs to read this year. UM nevermind, I came to my senses after seeing the cost of shipping SMH. I can buy 3 books with the price of that subscription box so I cancelled it. LOL😅

I hope you all have a great week!

Shows/Movies/Music I Watched/Listened To:

Some of the NFL Draft – not really invested but also had nothing else to watch.

Oh gosh, yeah!!! The Fairyloot is an amazing box but the sub price PLUS shipping?! It’s so wild. I passed on that sometime last year after seeing the prices. It’s so sad, I wish I could do it but yeah, nah. Not happening 😂 I also got an email saying Illumicrate doesn’t have a waiting list right now and I was tempted to sign up again but then I saw that the shipping costs for the book only sub was more than the box itself so I was like welp, that’s not gonna happen! 🙅🏻‍♀️ It’s kinda ridic…

Also, nicely done on the Switch 2 PO! I sadly don’t think that it’s PO here and I would have my sister do it in Japan, but the Japan version (while cheaper) is locked to JP and you have to pay quite a bit more to get the English version so I said never mind, LOL. I’m sure I’ll get my hands on it eventually… I’m so excited for it though! Especially learning what they’ll be doing with my favourite Zelda games 😍

It’s SO ridiculous. I might still be tempted to get one box and then cancel 😅. Yes, my hubby was like he could get a switch in Japan (have his friend buy it) because it’s cheaper but the land-locked issue made me tell him not to do it. My son is SO excited. I told my son we could wait on it but with the tariffs and trade war here in the USA 🫠 we didn’t wanna take our chances, so we wanted to get it now rather than later. Hope you get one eventually!
