Weekly Update: April 2-8

    Hello all! Unfortunately (and as you are probably already aware of thanks to my incessant complaining), it is still rather frigid in my neck of the woods, and I am absolutely itching to get outside and into warmer weather. I even tried wearing shorts today when I went on a walk (a lovely 38 degrees fahrenheit). It was probably a tad too cold for that. 

    In other, more relevant news, hopefully I'll be starting some new ARCs soon! The current plan is read those towards the end of the month, but I am so stoked about them that I couldn't help mentioning it already. 

    And speaking of mentioning things earlier than is probably necessary, I also have a very exciting bookish plan in the works for May, but I can't quite delve into the details with that yet.

    Without further adieu, here is the official TBR (and respective commentary) for this week:

• Dune by Frank Herbert
• Yes, I am aware that this was on last week's TBR, but I have to point out that it is 600+ excruciating pages long.
• Winter by Marissa Meyer
• I finished Cress ages ago and have finally worked up the courage to finish the series. Not sure how this will turn out... you may just find yourself reading a signature Gurlaffe rant-review!
• Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
• My review for this won't be up until next week but I do still plan to start reading it this week as it is a notable 870!!! pages long.

    On the non-bookish side of things, I have to quickly mention that season two of Bridgerton is out, so if I don't finish Dune this week you know why. (Also, if you have thoughts on the actual books that Bridgerton is based on, send me a DM on Instagram or Goodreads because I'm wondering if those are any good.)

    I implore you to send all your warm spring thoughts and your well-wishes as I attempt to read two very long books in the next ten days. Have a wonderful week and, as always, read lots!

    Sending happy thoughts, good vibes, and chapters that don't end in cliffhangers!

    Love,

    Gurlaffe
