How was my week?

This week was Valentine’s Day, and since hubby and I both work full-time caregiver jobs, we don’t get away much, so I paid for a couple of massages with our massage therapist friend. He brought roses home on Sunday as he went to Home Depot to get some stuff for an upcoming project, and they had a huge flower display. I spent the weekend making crafty Valentine’s things; I did a reverse canvas and a card with my Cricut. Then, we ate a late dinner at a local teriyaki place the day after. Thursday morning, we woke up to some snow, but it went away fairly quickly, which was nice. I have made some new changes to posts on my blog. I have been using the Bookly app with my reading, and it creates some exciting infographics you can use for social media posts. I chose to use them that way, but I also integrated them into my blog posts. You see that on my wrap-up this week instead of using a graphic showing you all the books I read for the month. I did a custom report for the week. I hope these changes will give visitors to my blog more insight into my reading life and help them choose which books to read and enjoy more easily. Please have a great reading week, guys. See you next week.
