Bout of Books 22 | TBR

This week I am participating in the 22nd round of Bout of Books, which started today Monday May 14 and ends Sunday May 20. 
I have a few books that I hope to finish this week, but I'll be glad to finish at least two of the 4 books on my TBR.

I am currently reading the screenplay of Fantastic Beasts and where to find them by JK Rowling. I picked this book up because I never read all the textbooks (the set of three classroom books assigned to Harry Potter in the series). I though I had finally found an Ebooks of it but I was wrong, but I'm enjoying it either way and it feels just like I'm watching the movie with better ears and eyes. 

At some point this week I might pick up Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. I placed this book on hold a while ago because everyone was talking about the movie. So I hope I enjoy it and understand things since I heard it has 80s video game terminology. 

On my days off I want to read Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda because I heard great things even before the film was released. I want to read it now that the second book came out so that I can read them if I enjoy the characters enough.

And finally I have an anthology written by three different authors, I recently read the first book in this duology and decided to see if this second book was any good. The Anatomy of Curiosity is basically short stories each written by one of the three authors with commentary from the authors.

I have a few more but with my schedule I'm surprised if I even finish these four books this week. I'll be filming updates this entire week so check my YouTube channel next week to see my final updates.

Entry No. 2031 and so on

I'm going to stop with the catch ups every time I stop posting. It's always "I haven't written in so long because I've been busy", I'm not lying about that, but it's sort of a given, right? I stop writing because I have nothing to write about or because I have no time. Also, it's intimidating to have to write a post saying "sorry, but I'm back now" again and again. I'm always at work and when I'm home I just want to relax. Not that this isn't relaxing to me, but it is time consuming. Turning on a laptop, exporting/importing pictures, editing my jumbled up thoughts, etc.. But I guess that I'm just going to come here and write, not worry about the length of time since the last update like every other time. 
I plan on starting off with weekly reviews of what I've been up to along side some pictures, to remind me of events as well. Hopefully throwing in a few pictures will keep me from being to boring since my weeks are very bland.
There are also book reviews which I plan on writing so that my readers can get a glimpse of what I've been reading (since I read on my down time) and pick up the book on release dates. I want to get back into read-a-thons so I can hopefully participate in one a few times a month and use my blog as an updating platform. 
Anyways I'll be around so come back here for more random updates from me. 

Extra Special Update to this Update: I wrote this down over a month ago and I couldn't bring myself to type it out and now that I did my app wouldn't let me publish the post so....🙇🏻
