Weekly Update: June 18-24

    Hello friends! It's been a while, hasn't it? I have to admit that I haven't been reading as much as I'd like to recently. My summer is turning out to be crazier than I anticipated, and I'm trying to rework how blogging and bookstagram will fit into it. I am getting back on track, though, so I should be on here a lot more in the coming weeks.

    Speaking of reading and crazy schedules, I was gone all of last week training to volunteer at a summer camp. I thought this would mean I would have reading time without my phone and spontaneous reorganizing as distractions, but boy, was I wrong. I think I read 20 pages the whole week! 

    Things are calming down, though, and I have about a week before I'm off on another adventure (which will involve 26 hours on a bus round trip, so there should be reading time there???). Let's take a look at my tbr for this week!

• The Rose by PD Alleva
• I've gotten about a quarter to a third of the way into this one. I've got mixed feelings on it so far, but I'm looking forward to laying it all out in a review soon!
• The Rose Volume 2 by PD Alleva
• This is the second book in PD Alleva's sci-fi series. To be honest, it slipped my mind that I agreed to reviewing both of them. I will be getting to this ASAP!
• The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka
• This AAPI pick has finally found its way onto my upcoming tbr and I couldn't be more excited! 

    I will also be starting Rachel Khong's Goodbye Vitamin, but I probably won't finish it until next week. I can't want to get to it, though!

    In other news, the weather around here is absolutely beautiful right now, and if it weren't for the ridiculous amount of wasps and hornets buzzing around, I would be outside every minute of the day. Despite it all, I still plan to break out a lawn chair and get outside reading in while I can. 

    I also have a bit of an announcement I want to mention! I'm going to be posting a donation link for Sarcoma Awareness Month. Keep an eye out for posts about that during the first week or so of the month. Sarcoma awareness holds an important place in my heart, and I'm looking forward to using my platform, as small as it may be, to help out the folks suffering from it today.

    Thanks for bearing with me through the busy-ness! Stay safe and healthy.

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

Love,

Gurlaffe
