We thought it was time for a fun new post every week. In the Royal Update one of us updates you about our personal life, bookish news, what we’re reading, watching and listening to and anything else that might apply to this post. We thought it would be fun to share a bit more about our personal lives and hope you think so too!

Since my last Royal Update I haven’t really done much. I had my last week of work before my time off and it was a long week. The weather was terrible, so that didn’t help much. The cooler temperatures did make me have the first cup of homemade hot cocoa of the season.

My first week off was mostly just relaxing. I got a lot of reading and blogging done. I’m ahead for the first time in months and it feels good! It’s my goal to keep this going. We also got to see the boyfriend’s grandparents for the first time in a year and a half. It was really good to see them again. When this post comes online I’ll be on my way to a house rented with the boyfriend and a couple of friends for four days. It’s going to be nice to get away!

These past two weeks I’ve added 6 new ARCs to my Kindle from Netgalley. So many amazing books and just not enough time.

Also, Berkley was really nice to me on Edelweiss and I received four books I’m really excited about!!

Since my last Royal Update I read: The Secret Garden on 81st Street, Rock Paper Scissors, Always Never Yours, A Curse of Nightshade, Fable, The Good Girls, Winterhouse, Malamander, Truly Devious, Seance Tea Party, Hide and Don’t Seek.

I’m currently reading: The Ex Hex, The Magic of Christmas Tree Farm, The Holiday Switch, The Matzah Ball, The Vanishing Stair, and The Girls Are Never Gone.

I’m hoping to start The Once and Future Witches, Home Before Dark, The Love Hypothesis,The Winter of the Witch, and Donut Fall in Love really soon.

I know there was quite a bit of bookish news this week, but I wasn’t really tracking it. This week I caught up on some blogging and just relaxed. It was really nice!

I haven’t purchased anything new these last couple of weeks. That may change in a week or two when I visit the big mall near here again. So keep an eye out!

A lot of amazing TV shows have started again and I’ve been catching up on some that I started watching. I watched a few more episodes of You and I’ve been binging the third season of A Million Little Things. That show is so good!!

Okay, so I know it’s only October, but as you might know I love everything Christmas. Kelly Clarkson just released a new Christmas album this week and I’ve already listened to it quite a few times!

So that has how my past two weeks have been! How have you been? Read any good books lately? Let me know in the comments! I’d love to hear from you.
