Anna G. | Geekly Wrap-Up #38--Week 8 of Self-Isolation [CC] @nymeria941 | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
OPEN ME!
Hi friends! Maybe I should stop counting how many weeks of self isolation it's been since it seems like we'll be doing this for the foreseeable future. What do you think? This week, I'm really grateful to have an e-reader since it's how I'm getting most of my new books these days, mainly via the library. I also get a bit salty about close board game scores.

Hey everybody! Heres a quick recap of what I read for the latest Queer Lit Readathon, my progress on Make Your Myth-Taker, and an update on my new place.
ALSO, my city officially moved to a Modified Phase 1 of reopening, which for me, means that we are allowed to do some nonessential activities, like haircuts or shopping for things that arent food or medicine. Still keeping pretty distant from people, but we were able to go out and purchase some furniture for the new place.
