It’s time for a weekly check-in!
I’m not even sure where the last week went? I feel like I blinked and suddenly it’s mid-September and I have no idea what happened. π° We did some more home re-decorating, including painting the living room and re-arranging some furniture, and I went on way too many trips to run errands (I could contentedly stay home for at least the next 3 weeks straight, thank you), and I watched a bunch of movies with my family… otherwise, I don’t think much happened!
September has been full of such high ratings for me so far! I’ve had nothing but 4 and 5-star reads for the past 2 weeks and I keep worrying that the trend has to stop eventually, right? π Anyways,Β How to Be a Good Creature was a buddy read with Malli,Β Black TideΒ was a BR with Ashley, andΒ Only Human was a BR with Misty! π

We’ve been watching a lot of movies lately! I’ve been introducing Isaac to a few that he’s old enough now or that I think he’ll like (he enjoyed The Mummy, I win), and I’ve been re-watching some old favorites… but I also finally watched Labyrinth for the first time, and it sadly did NOT go well lol. I’m not a fan of puppets at all and the constant cackling and screaming gave me a terrible headache. π It’s never fun to dislike a popular piece of media when I know a few of my friends were really hoping I’d love it, but it is what it is. π
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!

I saw The Labyrinth for the first time a few years ago and I wasn’t a fan, either. So you’re not alone there!! I hope you’re enjoying your current reads, though!
I’m sorry you didn’t like Labyrinth either, but glad I’m not alone! ππ
Four stars for The Girl on the Other Side you say? I love this for you and so glad you enjoyed it! Having a good reading streak is always lovely to have!
It was really lovely! I can’t wait to continue the series! π₯°
Yeeeesssss! I’m so excited for you! π
I’m so glad to see you enjoyed Only Human! That has to be one of the most satisfying book endings I think I’ve ever read!
It was AMAZING! Honestly one of my favorite series finales ever, and now I want to go back and read the little short stories that I saw listed on GR (I think on the author’s website?). Have you read those?
I do believe I read those, yes! They were short but nice little easter egg nuggets to the world and I remember enjoying them!
Black Tide, Only Human, and The Final Girl Support Group were all fantastic reads for me. Glad you enjoyed the first two and hope the third is a good one for you!
Thank you, Teri! Final Girl Support Group has been fun so far – not my favorite of Grady’s, but I predict it will be at least a 4-star read. π
Wow, look at all those stars! What a fantastic week of reading π The Garlic books look adorable! I’ll definitely have to check it out. I hope you have a great week of reading ahead, Destiny!
Thank you, Dini! I hope you’re having an amazing reading week and I hope you get the chance to pick up the Garlic books soon – they’re so cute and I really think you’d like them! π₯°π₯°
