Weekly Wrap-Up: Too Much Rain

What's New:
It has been raining in Michigan like crazy! We have had one day without rain in the past two weeks. I'm so ready for some summer sun, but I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. I forgot to mention that I have been watching Arrow on Netflix lately, and I am obsessed! I'm half-way through season two, and I'm already dreading tracking down season three because it's not on Netflix. I spend way too much time swooning over Oliver Queen while watching the show.


What I Read:
This week I finished The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson (review linked below), Ms. Marvel vol 2: Generation Why by Willow Wilson (review coming next week) and continued listening to Howard's End by E.M. Forster. I really enjoyed everything I read this week!

 

What I'm Currently Reading:
I'm still working on Howard's End and I just started Gayle Forman's Just One Day. I wasn't a massive fan of If I Stay, but I have heard lots of great things about this dualology, and I think it will be a perfect summer read.

What I Bought:
I did a little bit of book shopping this week, and I had way too much fun. It has been so long since I took a trip to the bookstore and made a large purchase!

 

The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh
Only Ever Yours by Louise O'Neill
