week in review 

Timing makes such a difference in the experience of reading a book!!! I wholeheartedly believe that it can make or break a reading experience! Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow wasn't for me either. I did finish it but just felt very blah about it. Oh I'm so glad the solo writing retreat video got you inspired! You should definitely try it - for me, I'd been wonderful, I highly recommend

You're such a seasonal reader 😄 I definitely think certain books fit certain times, problem is it is raining 80% of the time here.

Hope you got a lot of good rest from the on call session! 🧡 Salads are superior in the summer!! I think it's fine that you rated it lower. It you're opinion on the book and its valid 🥰 Sometimes, books just don't hit right during for us! But I also agree, timing is a big thing for enjoyment for books. Whatever we're in the mood for. I have Kristin Hannah's book The Women, and I can't wait to read it! Especially now that you talked about how much you enjoyed her writing. I think I'll have to add Leesa Cross-Smith onto my author list since you enjoy it so much 👀 Though I'm someone who actually likes to read without music so maybe it wouldn't work 😂 Personally for me... I read Tomorrow/Tomorrow/Tomorrow... and I loved it but I didn't like the author Zevin. I am going to talk about it in the next coming video... but long story short. Zevin wrote a lot about themes of women not getting recognition/credit, generally overshadowed by men. But then Zevin didn't credit Brenda Romero's game that Zevin used as inspiration. Though Zevin was fine crediting a multitude of other games in the back. Made me so mad 🙃Ended up rating it 2 ⭐ Am I petty that I was glad you DNF'd it? 😅

The gymnastics of holding the box 😂😂😂 Meanwhile: "a song" haha I totally get that. You're allowed to be critical! That's a form of selfcare as well, I think, giving yourself permission to think and feel what you think and feel, and expressing that. In a respectful way of course, but we're allowed to express our opinions, likes and dislikes. I just watched someone else talk about how amazing Tomorrowx3 was (like so many others have said) and I'm just on the fence about it, it never sounded like something I would like, and then I think well maybe, everyone says it's so good... I'm so confused. I just found My sister the serial killer second hand the other day! Can't wait to read it! Hope you enjoy! Oh, and I loved Cat's writing retreat as well! I would love to see your version as well, if you're up for bringing a camera with you :)

I really enjoyed My Sister the Serial Killer. It was definitely unique! I have to ask what kind of editing software you were using and what you purchased. I'm using the native software on my laptop and it's....okay.

I attract mosquitoes too. Idk why lol. What software did you get? I use the freebie Clip Champ. The self care book sounds interesting.I’m going to see if I can find it.
