My 2018 Week in Review - Week 1


Happy Sunday, and Welcome to my weekly Week in Review post!

Here I share all the things I've been up to during the previous week.
Check back every Sunday for new post updates!

Now, here's what I've been up to this week!

My first week of 2018 has been quite productive, at least when it comes to reading! I managed to read 5 books this week, and I currently have three more I should be finished with soon. I hope I can keep up this momentum for a while. It would be nice to get a decent head start on my Goodreads Reading Challenge Goal. :)

This month I began my new tradition of reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen once a year, and I really enjoyed diving back into this book! This time around I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by Rosamund Pike, and I loved having her read the story to me.

I also officially began reading the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series this week, and I really enjoyed The Sword of Summer! I'm looking forward to reading The Hammer of Thor in February.

I also wanted to start reading some biographies this year, and the first on my list was Unqualified by Anna Faris, which was so good. (I really need to make time to read her podcast soon!)

I also finished my re-reads of Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi and Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton. Both of these series have new books releasing in March, so I'm re-reading them to refresh my brain before they are released.

I've been so preoccupied with my TBR this past week, that I didn't really get a chance to watch much TV or movies. I did watch You've Got Mail on New Year's Day, which has become my traditional first movie of the year for the past few years. I also watched Father of the Bride, is also a favorite, and never gets old.

As I said above, my 2018 is off to a productive start, and I can't complain about that! I really do hope I can keep up this momentum throughout the whole year, because there are SO many things I want to do!! And with the kiddos heading back to school on Monday, I may actually get to do them. Haha!

That's about all for me this week, so...
