Not much has changed this week either. I've pretty much given up on NaNoWriMo. The spark I had died when I started watching Attack on Titan again. There are ideas that I have for that, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to pull the extra 10k words out of my backside. I would need to write pretty much all day Friday and all day Saturday. I doubt that will happen.

Anyway, I've been controlling myself and I haven't bought any new books in the last few weeks. I did get two from the library.

So yeah, that's all for this week. Maybe something exciting will happen next week that I can tell you about.

So yeah, I know I haven't been around recently. Some stuff went down. I finally got signed up for the surgery I need, had said surgery, my grandma passed away, and NaNoWriMo started. This caused a lot of stress and a lot of time that I needed away from the internet. However, I am back! I am glad to be back. 

Anyway, let me tell you about my reading for the last few weeks. There wasn't any. I think I picked up a few books and then I read virtually nothing. None of the stats (except the Rudyard Kipling book) have changed. I am ashamed of myself for this week. I've been focusing entirely on my NaNoWriMo project, which took a left turn halfway through. I suppose this will be a terribly short bookish Friday Reads update. See you all next week!
