Weekly Wrap-Up (#18)

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:

Nothing major has been going on. I’m still working on recovering from my surgeries and getting used to going back to work. I just had my 6-week post-op appointment on Wednesday and now I have to start going to physical therapy 2-3 times per week! Today is actually my boyfriend’s birthday (he’s turning 26!), so tonight we’re going out for sushi to celebrate, yummmm.

 

Books I Finished This Week:

1. Waiting to be Heard by Amanda Knox
2. World After by Susan Ee
3. Moosewood Restaurant Favorites by Moosewood Collective
4. Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout
