Weekly Catch Up: 03.10.21

Here is my weekly post each Sunday to catch up from the week before.

I will be sharing what I have been up to, what I have read, am reading and what’s up next along with other weekly catch up news.

What I have been up to this week:

My COVID test came back negative and I have been feeling a bit better this week. I have been into work a few times this week mainly to have a bit more company, as I was feeling a bit low. It really helped seeing my work colleagues, they always help to lift my spirits and make me laugh.

Reading wise, I have completed one book this week. I found that although it was a great book, the content hit me quite hard, so it took me a while to bounce back from this read. I’m trying to keep up with my plan, and I will be working on my October TBR today. Luckily I will have a bit of time in October half term, to catch up if I do get behind at all.

I’m looking forward to attending the #AllAboutAvon showcase this week on 6th October, and I received a package yesterday from them. This was really exciting, my first ever package from a publisher 😊
