It’s time for a weekly check-in!
This week has been SO busy! I started a second job at the beginning of this week, so I feel like I’ve worked nonstop this week and my brain is mush, but I’m so excited about it! Between that and regular life stuff, I haven’t had a ton of free time this week, and what I’ve had has mostly been spent obsessing over Fourth Wing and going absolutely feral over the new Crescent City cover reveal 🫠 I need to get a move on my July TBR and try to knock the rest of it out before the rest of the month gets away from me!
I don’t feel like I’ve read much this week, but then again, the SCN audiobook felt like it took a million years to finish, and I devoured No Trouble at All in basically one sitting, so… I guess it’s been a decent enough reading week, actually!

I had been meaning to continue Fourth Wing so when Misty messaged me last weekend asking if I wanted to turn it into a buddy read, I was so excited because it gave me an excuse to bump it to the top of my priorities and ignore the rest of my TBR! 😂 It has been AMAZING so far! We’re over halfway through and I love it so much, I fully get why it has gotten so much hype!
- Black Cranes: Tales of Unquiet Women // Lee Murray & Geneve Flynn → 22%
- Dracula Daily // Matthew Kirkland & Bram Stoker → 22%
- Fourth Wing // Rebecca Yarros → 68%
- House of Sky and Breath // Sarah J. Maas → 41%
- The Jasad Heir // Sara Hashem → 1%
I haven’t watched or played ANYTHING this week! Seriously, free time has been at a bare minimum, but I’m hoping to watch a horror movie this weekend. I’m soooo behind on recent releases!
Heads up: you can always friend me on Letterboxd if you wanna see my movie mini reviews!
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!

July 23, 2023I’m so glad I suggested we buddy read it with each other. I think I’m kind of in a reading slump after finishing it!!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
July 24, 2023I’m SO glad you did too! Omg same. Nothing else is hitting quite right except HoSaB and that’s just because SJM is such a favorite for me, but everything else I’m trying to read is good but also like, not sucking me in as much as it might if I wasn’t still wishing Fourth Wing wasn’t over 😂😂

July 26, 2023I had so much fun reading Fourth Wing! I need to get to Dracula Daily!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
August 19, 2023Dracula Daily was a lot of fun – definitely my recommendation over reading the regular version of the book by itself! 😂
