It’s Monday! is a weekly meme originally hosted over at Book Journey that allows bloggers to post a sort of wrap-up of the past week while also looking to the week ahead. Without further ado…
Last Week: Honestly, last week feels like a blur. I don’t really remember too much about it. At work, it was our first week in our new building. I love my new library space, which has a lot of windows and is just really nice and spacious. At home though…I guess we just spent a lot of time chilling, watching Netflix, reading. I’m not really sure.
What I am sure of is that my reading has slowed to a crawl. Some of that is due to me getting distracted by what the roomies are watching on Netflix. Some of it is due to restlessness. This weird summer slump couldn’t have hit at a worse time, as I have so much stuff checked out, borrowed from friends, sitting on my shelves, etc. Luckily, I can still usually get into comics even when I don’t have the time or patience for novels, so that’s something.

Looking Ahead: Katie and I decided to cancel our reading challenge, since it was supposed to have been done in July anyway. We’ll pick back up in September and go full steam ahead after that, but for now, we’re both trying to clear our shelves in preparation. I’m focusing on books for challenges and read-alongs, as well as things I have checked out that have to go back soon.
So that’s it for me. What are you all reading this week?

It really is! I’ll be trying my hardest to finish a novel when the roomie plops down, puts on Call the Midwife, then I get hooked. But that’s ok.

It really is. Have you read the books it’s based on? There are 3, all by Jennifer Worth!

I’ve been binging on Netflix lately too, which is out of character for me since I don’t really like tv. But I’m hitting that slump phase of the year due to be sick so Netflix is the only thing that doesn’t require energy, lol!
I love Shadow Scale, it was a bit slow going but I loved the direction it went in.

Agreed. It took forever to read Shadow Scale, although I did ultimately like it!
