It's Friday Reads Time! What are you all up to?


This has an been absolutely dreadful week when it came to sneaking in any reading time. Work stress is killing me and I haven't been able to concentrate or get very much sleep but I'm leaving all of that crap behind soon and reading to my hearts content. It's going to be 100 this weekend so I plan to camp out in front of a fan and only move when I'm forced to!

Talk to me at Twitter and/or Instagram as I'm also leaving the laptop closed :)

      Maybe this weekend will be better. I decided to vacuum our neglected pool and power wash the fence/half the house for fun. I think I need someone to send help!

    I'm sorry you have work stress. That is my biggest reading killer. :( I hope you are having a great reading weekend! I'm binging on season 2 of Glow.

      Thanks, we started watching Glow too and I got zero reading done :( The work stress is killing my powers of concentration (which weren't very strong to begin with!)
