Friday Favorites: Winter Came to Texas

Happy Friday, everyone! Winter finally decided to show up to Texas this week, so I was off on Monday and Tuesday for ice days. We have another wave of sleet coming tomorrow, so this might have to be a cozy weekend at home. On to my Friday Favorites this week:
/ / One:
There is nothing better than getting unplanned days off. It was so nice to sleep in late, work on the blog, and cuddle up with my pup. I’m not sure I will ever stop being anxious that Chris has to go out in bad weather, though. It took him four hours to get home on Monday (it’s normally a 30-minute drive), and I did my fair share of worrying.

/ / Two:
I have finally gotten out of my reading slump! After Jenn posted about resources to find free books, I signed up for NetGalley. I picked out 10 books because I thought it would be hard to get my first one, but I was already approved for five of them! The first book I read was The Little Paris Bookshop, and it was one of the best books I have read in a while. I am so excited to read the other four books!

/ / Three:
I can’t write a Friday Favorites without mentioning Match Day! This week, we submitted our rank list, and we are now officially three weeks away from finding out where we are headed.

/ / Four:
I just bought some fun dress options for Match Day, and I’m so excited to try them out and pick one.

/ / Five:
Cat wrote a beautiful post this week about her boyfriend Reg leaving for South America. I loved reading about her positive perspective and her support.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 

Linking up with AmandaKarliDarci, and the High Five for Friday girls.

  3. NetGalley sounds like something I need to check out. In an effort to not overcrowd my home with books and to save money, I have been borrowing quite a few books from the my public library. It is so easy and convenient now that I can just go online and borrow ebooks for my Kobo. :)

  6. 3 weeks!! I am jealous of your unplanned off days. The snow from last week is still on the ground and I am so over it.
    I am signed up for Netgalley but honestly rarely use it, because the % of books I get that.. well, aren't the best, is far too high lol. But the little paris bookshop I mean how can I not check it out after you said that!
