The Weekend Wrap-Up offers a little look at what I\u2019m reading, the new books that came my way, and anything else I may have gotten up to this past week. I will be linking up to Stacking the Shelves<\/a>, The Sunday Post<\/a> and It\u2019s Monday! What Are You Reading?<\/a> and hopping around your blogs a little to see what the community has to share too!<\/p>\n

My Week<\/h2>\n

This week I started working on a new project. I’m going to write a book! It isn’t the book I expected to be writing (my epic fantasy, which is still on the cards) but I’m very excited about it, so I began doing some worldbuilding and research and stewing on some ideas and themes, and hopefully once I’ve worked out these parts, the characters and stories will fall into place. I’ve only spent a few hours on it so far but I’m already liking what’s there.<\/p>\n

On the sleep front, obviously the fatigue is still there but I’m currently back around to human hours again. This only usually lasts at most a couple weeks, a couple days if I’m unlucky, but it’s really nice to see the morning and sleep when it’s dark and cool! Even if I don’t have the energy to get much done, it finally getting to the mid-20s heatwise doesn’t help, I’m really bad in the heat… I’m lowkey enjoying it for once, though. It forces me to get dressed and I need the Vitamin D.<\/p>\n

I put some solid reading time into Artifact Space by Miles Cameron and finished it this week. Really solid science fiction read right there, and hoping to have a review for it sometime next week. I then started reading Elantris by Brandon Sanderson, this starts my readthrough (and reread, in some cases) of the Cosmere universe.<\/p>\n

The Buffy rewatch continued, reminding me exactly how creepy the Buffy\/Angel romance was… she was 16 when they fell in love. Ack! I also started watching Never Have I Ever on Netflix, season 1 got me through a low day yesterday so that was nice.<\/p>\n

And then I came across this stunning acoustic cover of ‘As the World Falls Down’ from Labyrinth by Violet Orlandi that I’m a little obsessed with and really needed to share. It’s so beautiful.<\/p>\n

On the Blog<\/h2>\n

Had a fairly productive start to the week! I finally got my City of Glass review out, the extra time to stew on it helped a lot, I think. <\/p>\n
