Ramblings About Books & Life
Hey y'all! Sorry I've been so MIA, I've been having a heck of a time with anxiety and racing thoughts lately. Just trying to quiet my mind has been hard. But, some great things have been happening! For instance, I am now fully vaccinated! I got both of my Covid vaccines and it is such a relief and burden off my shoulders. I'm still staying safe with a mask out in crowds, but knowing I'm vaccinated is so comforting. The day after my first shot, I was just super tired. But the day after my second shot, I was so sick. I had a 103 degree fever, headache, body aches, chills, painful lymph nodes. But by the end of day 2, I felt totally better! Well worth it I definitely believe.
By next Thursday, I will have the full range of immunity! It's amazing how my depression has lifted with me getting vaccinated. No more dark and scary times. Yay! The past month, in April, we celebrated my brother's birthday and my mom's. I threw her a galaxy themed party, which was super fun! We had a great time, just me, my dad, mom, and brother.
Lately I've been buying books (of which I'll do hauls and separate posts about). I bought Worlds of Wonder by Johanna Basford, as seen in my instagram photo above! This coloring book is so cool and whimsical. The illustrations are more simple than her others have been, which I appreciate because I can really relax with this book. Highly recommend you get this!
I've also been reading Tiny Pretty Things and I need to read Shadow and Bone series. Both book series have t.v. shows on Netflix that I want to watch, but I want to read them first. I've heard phenomenal things about Shadow and Bone and I'm super excited to get into it. Tiny Pretty Things is a great book so far; it's about the world of elite ballerinas in Manhattan. Very cool and glamorous, but lots of bad things underneath the beauty.
I'm also reading Pretty Things which I checked out from my library app. This is a thriller and while I haven't gotten into much of it yet, I have high hopes. Thrillers have been disappointing me lately. I won a book on Goodreads the other day and am waiting for it from the mail! It's called Ruby Falls, it's a thriller about an actress starring in a remake of Rebecca and her husband is hiding secrets...but she is too. Sounds very cool and creepy, I can't wait to get my hands on it!
I'm going to be having a pizza night with my brother, yay! We're just going to chill out, watch something funny, and have pizza. I also baked pumpkin bread today which was fun! They turned out perfect and taste so very yummy. It's kind of a cloudy, colder day today so it was nice staying inside and baking.
This weekend I want to get a lot of reading done, plan out my blogging schedule (and stick to it lol), color lots, and catch up on YouTube. Just a fun and chill weekend. What are y'alls plans for the weekend? I'd love to hear! Hope you're all doing well! I will talk to you again tomorrow!
