It’s Monday! What are you reading? 12/07/15

(Hosted by Book Date)

Happy Monday, everyone! I haven’t participated in this meme for quite a while and I thought it was time to dip my toes in once again.

(Not my actual toes.)

Another thing I hadn’t done in a while? READ A BOOK. But (crossing my fingers) I think the slump might be over (knocking on wood).

(Not my actual head.)

I’m currently reading The Secret Chord by Geraldine Brooks.

I had the ARC, we’re selling it at the bookstore, and I heard the author on NPR. It was a perfect storm that led me to grab this off the shelf. It’s lovely, musical, lush, and I’m enjoying it immensely. 
What are you reading? I want to know!

The Relentless Weekly Wrap-Up 12/06/2015

Hi! :::waves furiously:::

Remember me?

I don’t give you much of a chance to miss me since I’m all over Twitter and Instagram, but I haven’t posted here in months.

Let’s dust this place off, shall we? 

The reasons for not posting are extensive and varied. There have been some family things that have kept me out of commission. While I’d love to write about them they aren’t my stories to tell. Everything is fine and we’re coming out of it all as wiser/stronger people.

The biggest reason for not posting: I’m not reading. I started a book yesterday but I’m not even going to talk about it here for fear of jinxing myself. I don’t know what is going on but I haven’t been able to get into anything since the end of summer. It’s not that the books aren’t good, it’s that I don’t have the desire right now. It’s weird and gross and I hate it.

No books…sob. 

In the past these weekly updates were a great way for me to share what I was cooking/reading/watching, and I do plan to get back to that format. For now, I only want to say that I’ve missed you all and I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.

I’ve missed you all!
Tell me what you’ve been up to in the comments. What are you reading/watching/cooking?
