There is so much information that I come across each day, I sometimes find it hard to process it all. This is why I decided to post a weekly recap post of what’s been going on here on my blog and with me in general, in the blogosphere and also about books as a whole. Retrospect has been inspired by none other than the lovely Asti @ Oh, the Books! when she used to do her weekly Bookish Recaps on her original blog, A Bookish Heart.
IN MY LIFE
Last week was one of those slow weeks for me. I came down with a mild flu but thankfully recovered quickly. Otherwise, my week was pretty normal; nothing unusual happened. I suppose the most eventful thing that happened the past week was the beginning of the Bookish Games that Asti is hosting at Oh, the Books! with the help of Kelley. Those of you not taking part can still watch what’s going down, if you’re interested.

How did your week go?
Oh dear! I’m so sorry I missed this, Josephine! >< But thank you so so much for including my post in Retrospect! :D It really means so much to me that you enjoyed reading it! :) And I loved reading your comment as well; it was so very insightful! :) Thank you so much, Josephine! *hugs* I hope you have a great week ahead! :)
No worries at all! I don’t really expect anyone to take note when I link them up. Haha. I just want others to be able to find wonderful blog posts :)
Oh, the flu. It’s been going around the school I attend and I’m afraid that I’ll catch it at some point. I really don’t want to because the flu does nothing but screw up my entire week, but if it happens it happens. I’m just really hoping my immune system is strong enough to stop it!
Lol, I watched the Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging movie a couple years ago. I thought it was a pretty good movie but I’ve never been motivated to read the books. Maybe someday!
Take care of yourself, Sydney! Drink lots of water. Hydration definitely helps in keeping healthy :)
I’ve not watched the movie but I’m thinking it must be rather funny on screen after reading the book, so I just might watch it after all.
