Hello all and welcome to the wrap-up for the week ending 19/1/18! This is a wrap-up to cover not only this week but the other two wrap-ups I didn't post last year. Too be fair, there isn't much to write for them... but I like my numbers to match! This week has been absolutely fantastic for a multitude of reasons, so I'm hoping this is a good sign for the rest of the year. Not only are the website stats going back to how they were before I redesigned it but they're improving! Thank you so much for the support so far, here's to the rest of the year! It's been a very warm week here in South Australia (I have never been so happy to work in an air-conditioned office) and although I'm more of a winter person, the sunshine does tend to up my motivation. This is good news for work, this website and all the other hobbies I have. As you would have noticed, content was posted on every day this week, so I'm pretty stoked so far. If all goes to plan, which it should, then content will be posted every day Monday to Friday for the rest of the year. So, strap yourselves in, this is going to be a fun year. I know I'm excited. Time to ignite the stories in all of us! Now let's get into this wrap-up. Reviews This week, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey and Looking for Alaska by John Green were reviewed. That's right, all the reviews I had planned for this week were completed! Hurray! Check them out below.

From the list above, I'd say I'm pretty happy with how this week has gone! I posted everything I wanted to, so I hope you can see how committed I am to this website. I also made some other achievements over the week away from here, including successfully creating a newsletter from scratch for work and graphics to go with it. This year is looking really positive so far! As determined as I am to get more achievements playing Xbox this year, so to am I determined to meet all my goals for this website.
