WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam over on Taking on a World of Words.

The idea is pretty simple, every week you dedicate a post to the three W’s:

What are you currently reading?

What have you just finished reading?

What are you going to read next?

It was a tiring, emotional and busy start to this week so I didn’t get much reading done but I did get to finish books at least. I just now need to sit down and write the review posts after I get a really good night of 8 hours of sleep. Been having some anxiety but I’m looking forward to the massage I booked tomorrow! It’s long overdue self-care. So I think I’ll be in the reading mood again soon – I hope!

I did get the e-book for The Sweetest Betrayal. I’m in love with the cover and need it on my shelf!

Weekly Wrap Up | 2/12/23

Aloha friends!

Today is the Super Bowl in the USA and the game will not have started when this posts but my family is rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles since my husband is from Philadelphia! The Kansas City Chiefs are a great opponent and their coach used to coach the Eagles so in a way we feel like we’ll be happy with whoever wins. I think having the Eagles win 5 years ago against Tom Brady and the Patriots took a lot of the edge off of my husband and me (he was such a bitter fan LOL…it was tough being married to him during football season 😆). I told him I’m his good luck charm because since he married me this is their second time going to the super bowl – woohoo! Anyway, my son isn’t a football fan so he’s whatever, my daughter loves to cheer the Eagles on and we’ll face time with my husband from the start to the end of the game so he can watch in Okinawa. I hope they win! If they don’t oh well, at least they got there, we weren’t expecting this year at all.

I got a few appointments done which is a relief. I was nervous about the one with the surgeon but since my lump is pre-cancerous I have a bunch of options! I can monitor it or get it removed. With my husband not here we had to discuss the options but my mom said she can totally stay with me and take care of me and the kids if I do the surgery – so I think I’ll do in the summer, after our Okinawa trip. I feel good about it – it’s a quick procedure, no overnight hospital stays involved and I should be after 1-2 weeks. Just in time to do back to school shopping. But we shall see, I have a few more appointments and consultations to go to before I make a final, FINAL decision on the surgery. And with that said – be sure to get your mammograms annually – so you can catch things like these early!

Can you believe we are pretty much at mid February?! It’s pretty wild to me. Anyway I hope all of you have a great week ahead!

Hi everyone, well it’s another Wednesday and this is what I’m reading in. I’m working on a book from my physical shelf, one from my online library, a Netgalley arc, and a book from Kindle Unlimited. 😅 It’s a good balance! Hope you have a great rest of the week!

Aloha friends!

Another week has gone by and it’s February – wow! I know this month is gonna go fast since it’s the shortest month of the year. I’m just trying to take it one week at a time. This past week was pretty much more of the same. I bought our tickets to Okinawa so that’s exciting. My parents will be coming with me and the kids so that will be fun and I’m grateful for the help on the plane and traveling a long way.

My husband is visiting us in 5 weeks and the kids are excited.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

What’s on My Bookshelf: Part 1

After writing that post Beat the Backlist Challenge 2022 I wanted to take a good look at my bookshelf and see what books I still have to read or need to finish! I don’t keep a lot of physical books since I only have limited space, but there is still on my shelf I need to read. Here’s part 1:

Books on my shelf:

  • The Vanishing Deep by. Astrid Scholte
  • Eat Your Heart Out by. Kelly DeVos
  • Agnes at the End of the World by. Kelly McWilliams
  • Forestborn by. Elayne Audrey Becker
  • The Secret Recipe for Moving On by. Karen Bischer
  • Sisters of Sword & Song by. Rebecca Ross
  • The Hating Game by. Sally Thorne
  • Illusionary by. Zoraida Cordova
  • The Last Garden in England by. Julia Kelly
  • The Fountains of Silence by. Ruta Sepetys

I did start The Vanishing Deep and Forestborn and I meant to finish but haven’t had time. I’m determined to pick them again soon though and finish it this year.

Happy FEBRUARY! Are we really here right now in the second month of the year? January felt like it was so fast and yet slow too – weird, but if you know, you know. February is going to be filled with some doctor appointments and I’m excited for President’s Day weekend, just to get a break. I got only a few arcs due in February so I’ll start work on the ones due in March.

Weekly Wrap Up | 1/29/23

Aloha friends!

The weeks are flying by and I wish I got a day off – but single parent life is my gig for 23 more months. So I’m just like my kids, looking forward to every holiday weekend they have got coming. Is it spring break yet? LOL…end of the school year yet? I’m looking forward to those breaks and yet not really because that would mean the year would be half over! 🤦🏻‍♀️ January is almost over and next week will be my kids 100’th day in school. Woohoo!

My daughter has a cold but the vog (volcanic air) has been bad this week – my sinuses have been acting up too. But we are both okay!

Hope you all have a wonderful week!
