The Weekly Wrap — February 12th, 2020

February 12, 2020

The Weekly Wrap is a new post I’ll be doing every week where we’ll talk about current reads, recently finished reads, what I’m listening to, games I’m playing, movies I’m watching, and general life stuff. ♥ If you’re a fan of my past WWW Wednesday & The Sunday Post updates, you’ll love this combination of the two!

what I watched:

? Another week of not really watching anything.

what I’m listening to:

? This was just a Spotify shuffle kind of week. I dunno where my head’s been, y’all.

what I’m playing:

? … nope, didn’t play anything either.

life updates:

This week was… I don’t know. I didn’t think it was all that bad while it was happening (until a mental health low smacked the hell out of me yesterday), but looking back, I didn’t DO ANYTHING besides schoolwork and cleaning and work. And I don’t know if anyone else is like this, but when I realize I haven’t done anything hobby-related or related to my interests in a few days, that is always a HUGE red flag that my mental health has been suffering and I haven’t been loving on myself the way I ought to be. This past week just felt like a blur and I’m not sure what was up with it, but hopefully the coming week will be better.

  2. Re-do all of my booktube thumbnails with a new thumbnail style
    1. ❌❌❌❌❌ Noooooope…
  3. Plan out all of my February bookstagram posts
    1. ✅ I did do this! I haven’t taken all of the photos yet but I wrote down a dated list and that’s a start.

This week’s new goals:

  1. (carrying over) Write reviews for 20+ RTCs
  2. (carrying over) Re-do booktube thumbnails
