[WEEKEND READS] where I make a weekly "reading plan" to spice up my reading

Hi,

I'm really happy about how I'm able to manage work quite well these part few days. New work from home routine is probably working. I get to finish everything early and my mood is always topnotch and focused on what I'm doing (unlike before). Unlike a couple of months back, I work overtime late at nights because I spend way too much time procrastinating and such but not this time. I really hope things continue well for me.

Also today, it was finally announced that they're lifting the strict lockdown they did a couple of weeks back due to the spike on COVID positives. The cases have gone down a bit so they're easing up once again. I hope that people learn to not be too at ease despite that. On other updates on that matter, my mom finally had her first dose of the vaccine. My dad's scheduled to have his first dose next weekend.

Reading-wise, I got through 406 pages this week. Not enough since I didn't get through my 50 pages a day goal. But I did finish Throne of Glass this week.

current read

The Little Bookshop on the Seine (The Little Paris Collection #1) | Rebecca Raisin
I got through the first few chapters already and I like the overall bookshop setting and bookish character but somehow it isn't exactly grabbing me. It may be because I've read a bit of this type of book with a shy character trying to breakout of her comfort zone kind of thing. I mean, I still like this premise, so I don't know what's up with me. But we'll see I guess.

Mother May I | Joshilyn Jackson
I got back to reading this and I'm finally speeding through it. I'm not into the mystery/suspense part of it. I think that there really aren't much at stake or something. I mean, yes, the child was kidnapped but you know, I have a really good feeling that nothing bad will really happen or anything and somehow things will just be happily concluded or what. I'm not interested in any of the characters. I don't care about them. But I guess we'll still see once I finish it.

reading plans

I'm doing this thing in my journal where I plan out my reading which I guess is weird or wrong or what. hahaha. idk. just maybe a me thing to try and push myself to get through things more. So here's my plan for the upcoming week (and yes, this will look very ambitious). I'm just putting it out there just so I can give myself a bit more accountability.
