Today’s review is about WE BURNED SO BRIGHT by T.J. Klune. It’s a standalone novella in which a black hole is about to destroy Earth. The end of the world is the impetus Rodney and Don need to travel cross country to finally do something they put off for years. There are quite a few content warnings for this one, so check them out. That said, I loved this book, as much as one can when it’s about the end of the world.

Well, sorry to say I don’t have a book review for the blog this week. I finished a couple books, but don’t particularly feel like devoting time to writing a long-form review. So if you care to read some quick thoughts of mine on them, check out my bookstagram. I’m also in a weird mood right now, so forgive me for not blog hopping at the moment. I’ll get back to it! Now, onto WWW Wednesday.

WWW Wednesday was revived and hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words. The idea is to answer the three questions below and leave a link to your post in the comments for others to look at. No blog? No problem! Just leave a comment with your responses.

Well, I wouldn’t say August feels calmer than July even though I don’t have any trips planned. However, I feel like I’m a little back in the swing of things with my reading. So it’s nice to feel like I’m making some sort of progress! It’s always a juggling act trying to do it all between work, cooking, laundry, socializing, gardening, and reading. Yesterday after work I spent about 1.5 hours sowing various root vegetables and leafy greens in preparation for fall gardening. (All that to say gardening is work as well as a fun hobby!) Anyway, enough of my jabbering…let’s get on to WWW Wednesday.
