Week in Review - Week 15
11:32Random Thoughts
Bullet Journalling is perfect for list maker me. I love putting an 'X' by accomplished projects and seeing that I am accomplishing things! I have been taking pictures again and I have been following this cleaning guide to have a better plan for keeping my house in order. I am bad with 'out of sight, out of mind', so now I scribble reminders in my journal and it gets done! This morning I rearranged closets which is why this post is a bit late. I read The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up and while I like the idea, I personally think it is only ideal if you either live alone or live with someone that is willing to do it, too. So, instead I just feel organized in what my daily tasks are and feel a little less overwhelmed. I want to use a conventional planner, too, though, because I just don't find that Bullet Journalling works for me for scheduling ahead... I am sure it does for others, but I am not there yet. Also, I still am having a hard time finding time to read longer works so my reading is just not where I wish it was, but I think it is mostly mood. We got a freaking snow storm overnight!

Armada - Audiobook - My first audiobook of the year. I am finally getting back into audiobooks. I hope it continues! I didn't like this one quite as much as Ready Player One, but it was still good. I think for what it was trying to be, it once again worked well. And, it was narrated by Wil Wheaton. He was a perfect chance to get back into audiobooks. Recommended!
Gotham Academy - Volume 2: Calamity - One of my anticipated reads of 2016 was this series. I read Volume 1 on a whim last year and enjoy this younger take on the DC series. It is not exactly my favourite series ever, but it is readable and fun. I look forward to more! Recommended!
The Autumnlands - Volume 1: Tooth and Claw - Every time Image has a sale, I glance at this comic... But, I can never decide if I would actually like it. Then, it was recommended to me so I decided to finally check it out. And, I liked it! I love fantasy, so I am not sure why I was so hesitant. Recommended!
Birthright - Volume 1: Homecoming - Another series I had been eyeing but wasn't sure if I wanted to try it until it was recommended to me. This is another fantasy series that amazes me I wasn't more interested in trying it out. And, just when I was really engrossed in the story... The volume ended. So, we know that someone will be getting volume 2 sooner rather than later! Recommended!
Batgirl - Volume 1: The Darkest Reflection - I read the newer series, so I thought I would backtrack and read this older one. It sort of sets up events that are mentioned in the newer one, so it was good to have the framework. I think I like the newer interpretation of Babs better, though. It is still early in and I have volume 2 here to read sooner rather than later. I am enjoying exploring DC a bit this year! Recommended!
Kids are Weird - Scribd - I will be the first to admit that I have been neglecting Scribd since the new changes came out. But, if I don't use some of my credits I won't get any more in a couple weeks and then what am I paying for? That being said, when I went on yesterday morning to browse... I ended up reading comics that I didn't need to use credits on. I have heard of Jeffrey Brown before, but this was my first time reading him. He seems like he would be lots of fun. I look forward to more from him!
Red Sonja - Scribd - Another comic I could have read without using a credit... But, I have been curious about this for a while and thought I would give it a try. I love a series with a strong female character, but I never understand their outfits... I found it funny that the person that made hers explained it was so men were distracted by her curves and not paying attention to the action. I suppose it is as good a reason as any? I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either.
