What have you been reading this week?

I go away on holiday today, so this will be my last post for a while. Well, unless the weather is absolutely dreadful and I’m stuck inside all week. Then I’ll probably just write something to keep busy. Of course, I should use the time to get ahead with my reading. I had 10 books to read this month and I only finished the 5th one yesterday. If I don’t come home having read at least 3 then I don’t think there’s anyway that I’ll finish my Spell the Month reading challenge this month. I can’t get so far through the year and not manage every month.

What have you been reading this week?

I thought I was doing okay this week but I definitely tapered off towards the end. I’ve been feeling rotten all week and I reckon I’m just tired. Whatever it is, I reached a bit of a low yesterday and all I want to do today is relax. That won’t happen as I’ve got a lot to do. I just need to keep remembering that I’ve got one more week of work before I’m on holiday for a week. I cannot wait to get away and have a proper break from everything. Will I be taking plenty of books? You betcha. I’ve still got a lot to get through.

What have you been reading this week?

I’ve suddenly become very disorganised this week and haven’t been getting my posts ready in advance. It’s all just because I’ve been so busy, so I’m not that bothered. It just means that I’m behind where I should be at this point. Thankfully, I’m off tomorrow for a hospital appointment. This gives me a bit of extra time to get sorted. Although, I’ve said that so often that I’m never going to have time to get everything done. It’s all okay. I’ve only got a couple of weeks until I go away for the week. It’ll be nice to have a break from work and I’ll probably take a break from blogging too. I doubt I’ll get ahead in time, so I might not have a choice.

What have you been reading this week?

Work is absolutely destroying my spirit at the moment. There’s so much to do and everyone is so over-stretched. On Friday, I rejoiced over having an empty inbox for the first time all week even though I still had so much outstanding stuff to still do. I guess you just have to celebrate where you can. Despite having no energy all week, I’ve actually done quite well on the reading front. I’m not one book ahead and have finished my Spell the Month reading challenge early. Meaning I’m trying to squeeze one more book in before September 1st. Who the hell do I think I am?

What have you been reading this week?

August is turning out to be a funny month. Work is destroying me but I’m actually doing okay with reading. I guess I’m more motivated to read when work is getting me down. Or maybe I’m just aware that I have a lot to get through and am actually being good for once. I mean it’s possible that my entire personality has changed overnight. That I’ve suddenly become more dedicated to my bookish pursuits this month. Or it could be that I’m just reading better books? Whatever I’m doing, fingers crossed that it lasts.

What have you been reading this week?

Work is starting to get crazier but I’ve actually done more reading than normal this week. Well, until the end of the week but that’s okay. I have time. The point is, I didn’t struggle to finish a book to review on Friday so I actually managed to post 2 book reviews. This weekend feels like its been busy but I’ve had to try and get my photos for next week sorted out too. My friend just had her second baby and I’m going to see him next week. So, I’ve changes my priorities a bit. I think it’s only fair.

What have you been reading this week?

Anyone else having a tough time at the moment? I’ll be honest, there is a lot going on and I can’t say that I’m handling it very well. It’ll be alright but I just feel so tired. So tired that reading is proving to be more difficult than I’d ideally like. I can’t even bring myself to write my blogs these days. My next holiday isn’t until late September and that seems like a really long time away. I’m sure it’ll start getting better soon. I might just need to take a break from a few extracurricular things for a bit. One of the reasons that this post is so short.

What have you been reading this week?

The last week of July was a bit of a blur. A miserable and rainy blur but a blur nonetheless. August is going to be a pretty busy month, so hopefully I’ll get through all of the books I wanted to read. But I can worry about that later. For now, I’m finishing the month having finished more books than I expected. It’s been a difficult month and I haven’t felt up to reading much. This week was especially tricky and I was convinced that I’d fail to finish the books I needed to. So, how did I do?

What have you been reading this week?

It’s been another slow week, which is mostly due to the weather. I’m not built for this kind of heat and it’s really put me off reading. I have read a bit more than I did last week but it’s nothing to shout about. I’m very much aware that I’m getting to the end of July and I still have a few letters to cross off my reading challenge. I’ll get there. It will just require all of my attention. A real shame considering that I’ve got a lot to do today. Weekends need to be longer.

What have you been reading this week?

Boy it was a hot day yesterday. As someone who doesn’t do well in the sun, I spent much of the day avoiding it. I know many people would have taken the chance to get out and read. Not me. I just get itchy and burnt. Not the ideal reading conditions. Although, this hasn’t been my best week. I’ve barely been managing a chapter a night. I don’t know what’s happened this week but I’ve just felt so tired. Tired and achy. I was worried that I was ill but it doesn’t seem to have manifested into anything. In the current climate, any flu-like symptoms are being treated with extra suspicion. As a clinically extremely vulnerable person, I’m really not looking forward to the UK’s restrictions ending on Monday. I’ll be taking part in self-imposed shielding wherever I can I think.
