WHATS GOING ON WITH ME

I have not done a Sunday Post in over a month because October was extremely busy for me I attended Indie Book Fest in Orlando you can watch a video all about my trip here. Also the YA Booktube Awards was announced on the 15th which I am organizing and hosting which is taking up a lot of my time. Now that everything has died down I will be better at blogging and reading! Please take a look at the YA Booktube Awards post for more information we have 10 GIVEAWAYS that you can win as well.

The was also this little thing in Florida known as Hurricane Hermine that was raging the ENTIRE time!! It was a nightmare but we got it done and I finally got to rest last week. Then BOOM my husband and I have to go back to Orlando for a funeral and I spent and extra week with my family to help my little brother get settled into his new school and to help with the unpacking!

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME

So I was visiting family in Orlando this week so nothing got read . . . but I really just needed to be there for my family who found uut very last minute and unexpectedly that they are having to move out of their home. It was a long week of packing and viewing new home and talking to realtors and visiting Disney on our off time so needless to say I am exhausted and I just to relax and curl up with a book for the next 10 years and not do anything else!

WHAT I READ

I've only read about 200 pages of this but. . . I did not want this to be blank!

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME?

My entire family caught this horrible 24 hour bug from my little brother this week. I felt like I was dying! Somehow I managed to still read three novels this week so I am super proud of myself. This Sunday Post is a day late but at least it is going up LOL! It was also my husband's birthday this yesterday and we had lunch and went to see Suicide Squad. The date was nice the movie, I was unimpressed with. It was not the worst movie ever but definitely not what I wanted from this villain flick!

WHATS GOING ON WITH ME?

I started a vlogging channel!!! I have a feeling this year is going to be crazy so I wanted to document it through weekly vlogs! My sister Petia got my brother, Matthew, and me Annual Passes to Walt Disney World so we have been going a bunch and I plan on documenting my path to fertility. My husband and I have had 2 miscarriages and we are having an all around hard time getting pregnant and/or bringing a child full term. So that is something that I have wanted to document so I can look back one day when I have a baby and see the journey I took to get there!

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME

So I got two root canal this week it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it still sucked! My dentist and her assistants are amazing they wanted to make sure I was pain free and comfortable for the whole 4 hour procedure! I haven't done much of anything this week because I am trying to recover the procedure was on Thursday which is usually when I do one of my reviews for the week and Saturday when I do my second I realized I had not read anything to review so It will be a very short Sunday Post today! Sorry Guys!

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME

I went back home to Orlando for the first time since moving two hours away this week!! It was so nice to see my brothers and mom again. I have lived pretty much my whole life in Orlando and I have never lived more than 5 minutes from my mom and siblings so this move has been pretty hard on me but it was so nice being back in my hometown! My second favorite thing about my trip is being able to eat at all my favorite places that we don't have here. There is a family owned diner I have been going to since I was 12 and the best ice cream place ever in my hometown and I miss those places ALMOST as much as my family haha! My husband who could not visit and who also grew up in the same city was extremely jealous!!
