Weekly Reading List #41

By Cynthia Ayala

Hello there avid readers! So I am in the last two weeks of school and that means I really have to finish these two papers I’ve got going on here and work on my packing. I’m almost done with my packing. I’ve got boxes all taped up and the like. It’s really going to be my cats stuff that is going to be a while. I mean I’m going to have to wait until the very last moment to put away his litter box, which includes cleaning it, the litter genie (which is awesome by the way) and really just clean up my room, but stuff away and the like. I’m almost done, I did two loads of laundry last night and just started throwing things into boxes and space bags. I misplaced a sock. It’s going to be a crazy last week here, let me tell ya.

But anyway, here is my weekly reading list. Happy reading folks, and, as always, all synopsis are courtesy of Goodreads.
