Weekly Review 1.17.16

Hello lovelies! Every Sunday I try to have a post that wraps up my week both in my life and in my blog.

This week has been another lazy kind of week. I don't really have anything crazy going on until school starts up on Tuesday.

In the Life

Like I said, nothing super crazy. I've just been hanging out. Trying to clean my room. Catching up on blogs and books. I've been doing the Clean Slate Read-a-Thon and while that was fun, I didn't hit my mark of 5 books. Boo... But I did get through two books and I'm reading one now. I'll have a post about that tomorrow. 

On Wednesday, I went shooting with my friends. It's actually the first time I shot a gun and wow that was fun, I have to admit. I'm not going to go political about it, because really, who finds that fun. This isn't supposed be about politics. This is about to be about books! But just from my own personal opinion, I would really rather have a shot gun than a hand gun. Pistols make me so nervous, I felt like it would fly out of my hand after every shot. Revolvers were a little bit better. I'm also having the itch of just trying to get crazy good at them. I have a thing for being a good shot. I want to be really, really good at it.

I also bought school supplies because who doesn't like shopping for school supplies okay? And when you have Daiso, everything is super cute. I have to.

In the Blog

Like I said, I joined the Clean Slate Read-a-Thon and you'll get a wrap up post about it. I read kind of the same amount that I would've read normally I think, which is a bummer. But it was fun and I read some great books out of it. So I'm not all that bummed out I guess. 

The Blind Book Date Club is live and waiting for your eager sign ups! I've extended the sign up time to get more time for people to sign up and I've also extended the deadline for shipped packages. I also edited the post to say that ebooks are included. I know that physical books and then shipping them out might not be a very affordable thing for people at the moment, so I meant to mention this in my original post but I guess I didn't. If you have signed up, I ask that you spread the word so that we can have more people sign up!

In Case You Missed It

I've had read-a-thons where I don't manage to read more than I ordinarily would- it is kind of frustrating! Though I do really love read-a-thons, sometimes you sign up for one, and then, when the start date comes, you just can't seem to get into marathon mode. It's still great that you got some reading done, even if it wasn't as much as you wanted, though!

Yeah. It was a good feeling when I completed a novel, but my reading pace isn't super fast so I have to actively try hard to read through that many novels which was a little tiring I think. I didn't think it'd take so much effort, but it did!

I've never shot a gun before and I confess, it kinda is more terrifying than appealing?! But I'd loooove to do archery one day. xD I used to do "backyard" archery with like handmade arrows and stuff which was TERRIBLE but so fun. XD It's really awesome to be a good shot though, right?!
Thanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!

Oh man see that's what I thought too, but I was also excited to shoot a gun because I've been wanting to see what it's like for the longest time. I was really scared at first, but after I did it a couple of times it was starting to get fun. I just love focusing on a target and then trying to hit it exactly where I want it to go. I did some archery too, but it wasn't anything serious and I pretty much just used my boyfriend's bow and arrow from when he went hunting and shot some targets in my backyard too. It was actually a lot harder than I had anticipated because I have like 0 upper body strength lol.
