Good Morning World!
How have you been? Well I hope.
This week has been tough on everyone, as the vast majority of people move to work remote. Others have lost their jobs or don’t know when they’ll return to work. My heart goes out to those people. This COVID19 pandemic is alarmingly frightful, and the world will feel the economic ripples caused by this situation for years to come.
If you can, please stay indoors and take good care of yourself. Even more, if you see someone in need, please help however you can. This is a pivotal moment in history where we can really show the value of human empathy and kindness.
I’ve been on my writer’s retreat in Hermann, but have mainly stayed inside just to be safe, as well as the fact that most of the city is either shut down or very limited on what they will allow. I mean, that’s what this whole retreat was about anyways, wasn’t it? I’m not even mad about it.
So what have I been up to this week? Let’s see!
Books
Being that this is my Animorphs Readathon week, reading has hit a very high level in the past week. So far I’ve finished five books this week! (currently reading the sixth)
While it’s been a mixed bag as far as star ratings go, I am so happy I got the chance to make some serious progress in the series. Once I get closer to the end, I may choose to do another readathon to close out the series.
I started re-reading this series back early 2019, so I am eager to get this baby finished!
See below for my review from this week if you’re interested!

TV/Movies
This week hasn’t been crazy busy in watching things due to my writer’s retreat and the Animorphs readathon, but I have managed to switch things up with my review of the documentary Betty White: First Lady of Television.
No one loves Betty White more than I do (nope, it isn’t possible :p), and this was a great portrayal and lookback at her life to date and how she made such an influence in television, film, and simply as a good person.
I couldn’t recommend this one more!

My Writing
Sorry peeps, but I’m going to be a bit cryptic here since my retreat is still going on. I am working on the third act and still have some ways to go, but the amount I’ve been able to write in such a short time has been really inspiring to me.
I’ve been switching constantly between reading and writing, and that seems to make a huge difference.
Stay tuned, there will definitely be an update tomorrow or Tuesday (most likely Tuesday)!
That’s a Wrap!
All right, so that was it for my week. How did yours go? Did you do well on your writing and reading projects? Anything interesting you’d like to share?
