Ah, the first lineup of 2017! How’s the first week of the new year going for you? I hope well! It’s FINALLY feeling like winter here in Houston. The heat is on, I’m under a cozy blanket, writing this and eating breakfast before I officially start my day. This whole week I’ve been so thrown off on the days…anyone else? Just me? Needless to say, I’m very happy it’s Friday! I don’t have too many plans on the docket this weekend, just a girls night out tomorrow night and some brunch plans (and possibly boating – crazy, I know, but it’s supposed to be perfectly sunny – so we’ll cozy up under sweatshirts and blankets if we go!!) on Sunday. As well, some exciting news on my end…I have an official deadline for my novel (uh, and it’s just over 2 months from now, yikes!). Up until this week, I only had an outline and a chapter done. I made some great headway earlier this week, and today I plan on hiding away at a coffee shop for hours on end writing away. Writing a novel is completely different than writing Oops!, as one would expect, but I’ve been loving it. Alright, folks, I hope you have a great weekend, I hope 2017 is treating you just fine, and enjoy some of my favorite reads and finds from the week below! xo Julie
