Weekly Wrap-Up is a post I share with you guys every Friday, in which I highlight all things bookish that I did in the past week — the books I read, the books I bought, books that I got from the library, and great posts that I found on other people’s blogs.
What’s Happening With Me This Week:
I’m STILL sick. Guys…it’s been eleven days since I caught this cold. I’m starting to get really sick of this! On the bright side, I’ve still been reading like a crazy person, so that’s good. But I’ve also been dealing with some family stuff that I can’t really talk about, and it’s stressing me out. Why don’t you guys tell me about what AWESOME weeks you had, so that I can get some happy news? 🙂

Oh, I hate being sick! I hope you’re feeling better soon! Though it seems you’re putting that time to somewhat good use and getting quite a bit of reading done! 😉 Always look at the bright side…
Haha yeah I tend to be a pretty positive person 🙂 It’s good to feel like I’m at least being productive with something!
I hope you feel better! I am jealous of how much you read this week – although not the suck part
Hahahaha thanks 🙂
Great link compilation again Miranda! I spent way too much time looking through everything.
Haha, thanks, you and me both!! I try to comment on 90% of the links that I include each week, so it’s definitely a chore compiling them all up. But I love looking at those kinds of lists on other people’s blogs, so I like doing it…but I’m glad that you appreciate it, too! 🙂
