Weekly Catch Up: 23.01.22

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:

Just another normal week this week, although I have tried to fit in a bit more reading with my daughter this week. She has read me her school books & she is improving every day. I am trying to encourage her more by signing up to Children’s Book Tours, which then we can share together, so it can be our thing. 😊

Reading wise, I have completed 4 books including 3 review requests/ARCs and a Children’s Book ARC.

Book Totals:

💜 Paperbacks/Hardbacks on my book shelf = 73

💜 E-ARC’s/Review requests to read (not including NetGalley) = 17

(+1, 3 read & 4 received)

💜 Other E-books on Kindle = 631

(+9, 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:

💜 45 Books approved

💜 24 Books Read

💜 24 Reviews posted

Feedback Ratio 53%.

(+1%, 2 reviewed & 4 approvals 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.
