Weekly Catch Up: 16.01.22

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:

It felt like a really long week this week, but flew by too, if that makes any sense. The first full week at work for a while so I am a bit tired this weekend. This post is a little later today as my internet decided to crash, so I have already done 2 hours of tidying this morning 😂.

I have made a decision regarding my A to Z Challenge post, and I will stop the weekly posts and include a catch up in my monthly wrap up post. I was finding it was adding pressure on to me, as it doesn’t look like I will be able to start this is in a little while.

Reading wise, I have completed 3 books both review requests/ARCs.

(-1, 0 read & 0 received) – Duplicate Book included twice

💜 E-ARC’s/Review requests to read (not including NetGalley) = 16

(+3, 1 read & 4 received)

💜 Other E-books on Kindle = 622

(+21, see Saturday’s & Friday’s post to see what I have added)

This E-Book figure includes the purchases I have made on offer for 99p.

I will be comparing this each week, although with my reading slowing down this month I think the figures are likely to go up rather than down 😂. This week covers a couple of weeks since my last weekly wrap up.

NetGalley catch up:

Here are my totals as of today:

💜 42 Books approved

💜 23 Books Read

💜 22 Reviews posted

Feedback Ratio 52%.

(+1%, 1 reviewed & 1 approval this week)

Hoping to continue with the reading in the evenings this week, as long as I don’t fall asleep. (As always 😂) I am a bit behind and keep having to move the books around in my plan, so fingers crossed I get through them all, as I have many which need to be read by 03.02.22.
