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!
Well, for once I definitely have something to tell. Last week I had an accident with my car and unfortunately my car is totalled. I had some headaches and a stiff neck last week but it looks like it is going better now. Unfortunately I have to look for a new car now.
This week is all about Sinterklaas in the Netherlands. At my work we did ‘surprises’ with the kids. So they all draw a ticket with a classmates name on it and make something for them. I made this Nintendo Switch and the kid had to get the present out. There is also a poem you have to write, always fun to do and to read! Last night I had a nice dinner with my brother and my mom left a small present for both of us. So luckily I ended with a good weekend after a bad week before.
Once again, no new ARC’s. I hope to finish a couple more before the end of the year.
I finished three books these past two weeks; Eye of the World, Death Note Black Edition vol. 4 and You’ll Be The Death of Me. So I can definitely say I had a good reading week. Currently I’m reading The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time #2) and The Last Graduate. Next I will probably pick up the next volume of Death Note and Come Out and Play.
I had to show you all this cover that was just revealed! To be honest, I hadn’t heard of the book and don’t know what it’s about but I just love the look of it! Of course I did look up High Times in the Low Parliament and this novella does sound super interesting. Now we just have to wait for August haha.
I didn’t do any shopping so nothing for this one!
I’m still watching Wheel of Time every week but last Friday I also binged the final episodes of La Casa de Papel. So sad it’s over! I’ve also started watching Hawkeye, played catch up with Riverdale (why am I still watching that?) and watched a lot of The Blacklist since I’m still almost a season behind.
I’m still mostly listening to Red (Taylor’s Version). Spotify Wrapped has also come with it’s own playlist but to be honest, it’s all songs I’ve been listening to all year so I’m okay with not listening to them again haha. I actually did listen to the playlists of previous years haha.
And that was my Royal Update for the week! What have you been reading and watching? Let me know in the comments!
I’m glad you’re ok, but sorry about your car.
Thank you! I’m very lucky to be okay so that’s what I’ll keep in mind!
I hope you find a new car soon! I’m glad your injuries were so minor in that accident.
