Weekly Reading Update #4 – May 1, 2022

(Last Updated On: )

Welcome back to my weekly reading update! I don’t think anyone is going to be surprised when I tell you that my reading had been sporadic at best this week. Seriously, somehow this week was a total blur and I didn’t manage to do 90% of what I wanted. But we’re here to talk about books so without further ado, let’s get into the weekly reading update!

What I Read This Week

The Martian Andy Weir Book Cover

The only reason I have anything to report for this section this week is another The Martian reread. I listened to most of the audiobook while cleaning my apartment! So while my TBR is staggering and I am perpetually close to a mental breakdown about uni deadlines, at least my space is somewhat clean.

This remains one of my favourite books of all time and revisiting it is always delightful.

As I mentioned, my reading has been incredibly sporadic. It seems I either don’t read at all…or devour a book in a day. Right now, there’s apparently no in between. Unsurprisingly, I also failed my goal of establishing a bedtime reading routine. I guess I just have to embrace the chaos?

What I’m Currently Reading

There has been little movement with the books I was reading last week, but I’ve added some new ones to the bunch!

Unfortunately, I have made no progress with either Long Story Short or Pretty Dead Queens. Shame on me! My week has been weird and hazy and I didn’t have the mental energy to pick up my kindle. Let’s hope that changes next week!

Instead, I started two audiobooks! I’m a few chapters into both Queen of the Tiles and Daisy Jones and the Six and so far, both are great! Admittedly, I’m finding Daisy Jones a little hard to follow because I’m terrible at remembering who is who, but all the narrators are incredible!

The Week Ahead

Let’s take a look into our crystal balls and look into my reading future!

I really, really want to finish Long Story Short this week. I find that when books sit too long on my currently reading pile, I eventually forget why I was enjoying them and have to put them aside. I don’t want that to happen again! Honestly, I think all I need is a little bit of reading momentum.

Let’s Chat!

Thank you so much for joining me on this Weekly Reading Update! As much as I wish I was the kind of reader with a proper routine, maybe it’s time for me to simply embrace the chaos. Read nothing all week and then finish a book in a few hours? Read in sporadic moments on my phone? All options I am willing to embrace if it means I get to do what I love: read.
