The Weekly Wrap is a new post I’ll be doing every week where we’ll talk about current reads, recently finished reads, what I’m listening to, games I’m playing, movies I’m watching, and general life stuff. ♥ If you’re a fan of my past WWW Wednesday & The Sunday Post updates, you’ll love this combination of the two!

A few too many hauls this week, but they’re all releases I’m genuinely SO excited for, and most of them don’t come out for a good 6 months, so I’ve got time.
what I watched:
? I didn’t watch anything but cooking shows this week, and I’m a little sad about it. ?♀️
what I’m listening to:
? It’s just been one of those Spotify shuffle weeks. ?♀️
what I’m playing:
? Delicious — Emily’s Holiday Season (I play this every year at Christmastime and it never gets old.)
life updates:
This has been a pretty good week! The new blogging schedule is going great so far and has me excited to blog again, which is something I haven’t felt as much over the last few months as I usually do. I’ve been in more of a reading mood the last few days, too, so I’m hoping that’s a sign that I’ll get a lot done over my holiday vacation! Speaking of which… after work today, I’m off for the rest of the year (with the exception of one shift on the 30th)! I don’t know how I got so lucky that my days off were able to line up like this with our closed days for Christmas and New Year’s breaks, but I’m so stoked. I’ve been working a lot of extra hours lately and my house is a mess, plus I have a ton of reviews that need writing, so I’m hoping to take this time off to play catch-up but also to practice lots of self-care! I have some video games I want to finish up by the end of December, plus the spouse and I have big plans for Hobbit/LotR movie marathons. ???

December 19, 2019I just got a copy of Gideon the Ninth today in the mail. It is such a beautiful looking book. I didn’t realize when I got it that it had black sprayed edges. Love it. Definitely going to be driving into that book soon
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 21, 2019Ohhh, where did you order it from to get the sprayed edges if you don’t mind me asking? I want that edition so badly but I was worried I’d missed my chance – maybe not!
spicygeekreads
December 21, 2019I found it on Amazon. I don’t think they even mentioned that the edges were sprayed.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 23, 2019Thank you for this! I hurried and ordered it right after seeing your comment because I was thinking those sprayed-edge ones were all sold out! It came in today and had the black edges, I’m so happy 🙂

December 23, 2019I’m happy you were able to get a copy. It’s absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite looking books
