This week has been both a better week, as I managed to be online more and get more stuff done with the blog, as well as a pretty “meh” week. I’ve got a chronic condition and it spent this week flaring, it was mostly partly my fault as I made some bad choices but yeah… :/ Still, onwards and upwards.

I came to the realisation this week that I’m going to have to treat reading in a more professional capacity if I plan to write a review here. Basically, I’m going to need to set aside a few hours a day to get through my reading pile before it eats me. I’ll let you know how it goes next week.

This week has been quiet on the blog. The only thing that went on the blog this week was a review I’d scheduled. Real life has been quite hectic this week, hence the silence on the blog and on Twitter and Facebook and Tumblr. I’m hoping next week will be better, but I will definitely be back the week after though.

This week has been relatively quiet, which has been nice. The next couple of weeks will be interesting. I won’t be around a lot to answer comments today as I’m having a family meal, but I will get back to you and visit your blog as soon as I can.

I’ve fallen behind again on this – opps! So this is kind of a catch-up post. I’m thinking about turning this into a monthly post rather than a weekly one as I’m not posting a lot at the moment for various reasons. I will of course let you know if I decide to, but it is something I am definitely considering. Oh and because of the scandle at Goodreads I’m trying out a website called BookLikes – if you want to friend me you can find me here.

It’s been a while since I last wrote a Sunday Post – opps! It was my birthday last weekend, and I spent the Saturday getting my present from my parents and I had family over on the Sunday to celebrate, so I wasn’t online much/at all. Hence the lack of a post from me last week.

Lucky didn’t do too well on the medication we were given for his arthritis, so we’re trying him on some tablets this week – fingers crossed!! Mum spent part of this week in France on a business trip, so it was just me, Dad, & Lucky for a couple of days which was weird. This week was on the whole a good one 🙂

This week has been a good week. Lucky had to go to the vets for his injections and we discovered he’s got arthritis in both front legs and one back one. Today is my cousin’s twenty-first birthday, so I won’t be around much today – sorry in advance for my delayed response to your comment.

I’d just like to say a huge thank you to Penguin Ireland for both of these books. I wasn’t expecting either book, but I think they both sound really interesting and I’m looking forward to reading them.

This week was a little quiet. I got to meet up with my Aunt and Cousin for lunch, and I totally lost the momentum I’d gathered from Bout of Books – oops!

This week has been a pretty good one, even if there were a couple of stressful days when I had some issues with being able to get my medication. Bout of Books has really helped my ability to read this week, so I’m very happy. I also visited London yesterday with my Mum which was super fun, if a “little” wet.

This week has been a pretty meh week on the blog front, though I’m not sure why. I just didn’t feel motivated to read, or blog, or even be on Twitter – although on the Twitter front that was partially out of my control as I had some trouble with my mobile contract.

This week I started the one review a week schedule. It’s really taken some of the pressure off. Unfortunately, it is also the only post that went up this week – opps!

Lucky (my border collie) was shorn last Sunday for the summer, and he still smells clean which is a bonus! 😀

This week has been a quite, but good one.
