It’s time for a weekly check-in!
Whoops, this week’s check-in is a 2-for-1 because I never got around to writing up last week’s check-in post! Not much of a life update to give other than the fact that I took a big mental health/self-care day last week and slept for a million hours and it helped TREMENDOUSLY, and also, the kittens go to get spayed this Thursday and even though I know it’s a perfectly routine procedure, I’m stressin’. Send good vibes, pals.

It’s been a superhero movie week in our house! Mostly thanks to my son, I think I’ve seen Venom three times and The Amazing Spider-Man once in the past few days. I’m very much a “comfort re-watcher” when it comes to films, so I don’t mind. 😂
What are you reading right now, or what did you recently finish? Is anything exciting happening in your life? Let me know in the comments!

Your currently reading list always gives me anxiety haha, but I hope you enjoy Book Lovers (everything else, too!)!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
July 22, 2022Thank youuu! Lmao, my reading list is giving me a little anxiety right now, too. 😂 I’m really hoping to lower it a little before the end of the month but that isn’t looking promising right now. Book Lovers is so good so far and I need to hurry up and finish it! ♥

August 5, 2022Haha, I love Venom. Tom Hardy is so underrated as an actor. But also, it’s a fun film!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
