Stacking the Shelves – a weekly meme hosted by Reading Reality
what’s the buzz: weekly round-up and book haul
Well, it’s been a whopping five months since my last STS post (sounds a bit like a confessional, eh?) and loads of stuff has been going on which has distracted me from blogging but I’m not going to bore you all with the details. Suffice it to say, I think I’m back (don’t want to crow too loudly though unless the dreaded slump takes effect again).
I’ve spent my downtime reading, watching television shows/movies and gaming mostly. I really enjoyed The Last of Us (and then The Mandalorian kept me going through the Pedro Pascal withdrawal). I also started watching Yellowjackets which is pretty darn good, just waiting to catch up with season 2.
