What’s New This Week

I’m just sitting here with PTSD because Hurricane Sara is supposed to come to Florida again… next week. Is it crazy that at this point I don’t even care anymore? Let’s hope for the best and, not even prepare for the worst. No energy for it anymore this year. Wish me luck?

VOTE IN THE AWARDS

This week kicks off the first voting round of the 2024 GoodReads Choice Awards. Yes, I know what you’re thinking. Is it even worth voting? Yes, I do still vote and I also have some thoughts about the whole thing. I talked about it this week on the blog so you can read it there. I’ve also teamed up with Victoria from

BiblioLifestyle Community

to bring you some thoughts, reactions and predictions videos starting next week so stay tuned.

Plus, we decided to work together on a list in some of GoodReads categories and we’re calling it the 2024 Novel Nights Readers Choice Awards. Come and vote on it. Click here for the blog post.

In the past two weeks I’ve gotten 2 new kindles. I was super excited about the Kindle ColorSoft. I did an unboxing video and I’ll edit and have it up next week. But spoiler alert, it’s going back. I’ll explain more later on. So I decided to get a Paperwhite Signature in Metallic Raspberry. So far, so good! I’ll have thoughts on those coming soon.
