Weekly Wrap-Up: I Need More Time to Read (Send Help and Snacks)

Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, meetings, and real-life responsibilities that rudely interrupted my reading plans. Page time was scarce, and my audiobook progress looked more like a buffering screen than a listening streak.

BUT, I did manage to finish a book I’d been dying to get to (cue the celebratory dance), and I dipped into a new audiobook that arrived for review. Silver linings, right?

This week’s looking a little less chaotic fingers crossed, so here’s hoping the TBR pile gets some much-needed attention. Until then, here’s how the week shaped up and the forecast ahead...

~ What I Am Listening To (ARC) ~

Just got my hands on the audiobook of Lilac Time by Fern Michaels, Lori Foster, and Carolyn Brown—what a dream trio! I can’t wait to dive into this heartwarming collection. Small-town charm and stories that feel like a hug? Yes, please!

 
 

~ What I am Reading (ARC) ~

I’m new to Daniela Sacerdoti’s books, but The Tuscan Sister Secret has me excited to dive into this ARC; even without reading book 1, I can feel the promise of heart, history, and a touch of Tuscan magic.

 
 

~ What I Just Finished Reading (SO GOOD! Review HERE) ~

Just finished Shadows in the Woods by Evi James, and I loved it! A beautifully wild sequel to Entangled in the Woods—full of heart, heat, and all the forest magic I didn’t know I needed. Total escape, total joy.

 
 

~ Up Next ~

It’s been ages since I read (and watched!) A Year in Provence, but something about its sun-drenched charm called me back. Re-reading it felt like sipping rosé on a warm afternoon—familiar, delightful, and impossible to rush.
