What have you just finished reading?

What are you going to read next?

How is your February going? So far everything is going well here and I’m still trying to push through my February and March arcs!

What are you currently reading?

Snowglobe by. Soyoung Park – 7% – no progress this week

Compass and Blade by. Rachel Greenlaw – 13% and I think I’ll be finishing this one this week!

The Poisons We Drink by. Bethany Baptiste – 1%

The Fake Mate by. Lana Ferguson (audiobook) – 3% just started this one yesterday!

What have you just finished reading?

Weekly Wrap Up | 2/4/24

Aloha friends!

I was planning to drop everything to read House of Flame and Shadow and that didn’t happen lol. 

There was this whole week of anxiety because my hubby who said no trips to Japan this year so we can recoup what we spent in 2023, told me to book a trip because our daughter is having a hard time again with him being gone again. 🤦🏻‍♀️ So after a few days of trying to find reasonable flights and hotels for either spring break or end of May – and the trip being a trip for the 4 of us turning into a trip for 8 people (parents and nephews wanted to come) – I said forget it. It’s cheaper and easier for HIM to come home at the end of May because it’s the kids last week of school plus our son’s 5th grade graduation and we decided on that. 

After deciding on all of that, I finally started House of Flame and Shadow and I’m halfway through!

Have a good week!

It’s the last day of January! And I honestly was hoping to finish reading a few arcs before delving into House of Flame and Shadow but oh well it is what it is, I’ll just have to really push through some arcs in February.

What are you currently reading?

The Bad Ones by. Melissa Albert – I just started this arc so I’m 45% in and it’s moving a bit too slowly for my taste.

House of Flame and Shadow by. Sarah J. Maas – 7% in which means I’m not reading else because of all the world building in this book! Who is done reading this one? It’s clocking in at 839 pages lol so it might take me a few days to read this one but I’m hoping by just focusing on reading this book I can finish it by this weekend – we shall see!

What have you just finished reading?

Heartless Hunter by. Kristen Ciccarelli – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Destroy the Day by. Brigid Kemmerer – ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Aloha friends!

Another chill week for me and I got to read some good books! I can’t believe this is the last weekend of January and on to February we go. Nothing exciting happened which is kind of good thing – it’s like having a nice break when everything is routine lol. 

Who is excited for House of Flame and Shadow?! Tuesday can’t come soon enough! Please let it be good!

Have a good week!

Chasm by. Stacey McEwan – 25% progress – boo, my online borrowing time expired so I have to wait for a copy again.

The Book of Azrael by. Amber Nicole – I’m 11% in. I don’t know if I want to continue and devote my time to this one. It’s not holding my interest.

The Bad Ones by. Melissa Albert – I just started this arc so I’m only 5% in. It’s another dark read.

Heartless Hunter by. Kristen Ciccarelli – 1% in

Destroy the Day by. Brigid Kemmerer – 63% in and there is a lot going and I’m not sure if I love it. I think I was expecting more drama with Rian but it’s split between three POVs and each are having their own problems. Also wanted more Corrick and Tessa time but at least Harristan gets some love- he deserves it.

I feel like I need to change and read something light and fluffy because I’ve been reading so many dark books and fantasy which requires so much world-building and I just need something easy. 

What have you just finished reading?

The Catch by. Amy Lea – ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

The Endless War by. Danielle L. Jensen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A Tempest of Tea by. Hafsah Faizal ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Court of Winter by. Krista Street ⭐️⭐️⭐️ – I’m trying to finish some romantasy books I downloaded on KU and at least I finished this one! Working on the other books in the series but I’m just skimming through them.

Aloha friends!

So my week was mostly getting my daughter better. I thought she was good and went to school on Tuesday but she had a small accident just as the bell rang for end of the school day (thank goodness). So I kept her home on Wednesday just to make sure her tummy had one more day to recuperate. Other than that it was an unexciting week – which is really nice.

I hope all of you had a good week!

I did some dark reading the past few weeks! Wow..lol and one fluffy romance? But I guess I was in the mood which is interesting since we are a month from Valentine’s Day and usually I read romances in January.

What are you going to read next?

I have three arcs to finish up before or in February and that’s The Bad Ones, A Tempest of Tea and Heartless Hunter. I’m so excited for Destroy the Day which comes out on Tuesday!

I don’t have as many arcs for March and I kind of purposely am not requesting because I want to actually have time to read new releases this year like House of Flame and Shadow by. Sarah J. Maas which is I know going to take some time to read. So yeah…less arc requesting this year for me.

Weekly Wrap Up | 1/14/24

Aloha friends!

Are we really in mid-January?! Come on 2024…you are going by so fast already. 😫

This past week was busy! My son had a birthday event to go to so I had a chance to meet up with a friend in town and give her birthday and Xmas gift that I had in my house since April lol. Bad, I know but we could never find a chance to meet up. I also had a breast MRI and yay, it’s clear! No new activity going on in there. My mammo a few weeks ago was clear too so I’m just happy the mammo and MRI are over (for now-I’m sure I get another in 6 months). MRI’s are so exhausting. It was only a 20 minute procedure, but the IV in my arm, then laying face down on this metal between my chest is so uncomfortable (especially if you have a tight back like ME), and you can’t move. Every time they ask me for a music selection I say Taylor Swift. So Taylor Swift has been getting me through my MRI’s! Ten minutes into the MRI my left arm was numb and I so wanted to move to shake it. I survived though and my results are good so I’m glad.

Then my kids had a dental appointment on Friday and after school my daughter seemed way too low energy. She even took a nap before tap dance. That is not usual! She didn’t even want any snacks…should’ve known something was up. After tap dance she felt warm, got her home – took her temp, it was 100.6 and then she had diarrhea. So I’m pretty sure she caught a stomach bug. I knew she would catch something being back in school…but I thought it would be RSV, flu or COVID – not a stomach virus. 😒 It’s always a surprise, isn’t it?! UGH. 

At least it is a 3-day weekend. We need it to recuperate. 

I hope all of you had a good week!

Weekly Wrap Up | 1/7/24

Aloha friends!

Wow, is the first week of January 2024 really over?!

What a week! New Year’s Eve was loud and colorful as usual but my kids slept through it, but our dog did not. Poor thing. He survived, but it’s always so traumatizing for him. We celebrated my daughter’s 7th birthday and my nephew’s 16th birthday also. It was nice to see family so much over the holidays and I felt like each week I saw my mom she got stronger and stronger. It’s been a month since her operation and today she seemed almost back to normal! I’m happy about that!

My hubby left yesterday and me and the kids will miss him. He’ll be back in 11 months for good. How time flies! Anyway, it’s back to school this Tuesday – we are back on the grind again. Is it bad that I already feel exhausted? lol…

I hope all of you had a good week!
