Week(s) in Review: 10.12.2013

Hey there! Did you miss me last weekend? I didn't pack my laptop for my five-day trip to Tennessee (shocker, I know!), and week in review posts are pretty hard to write in advance if you leave early Thursday morning. Therefore, today's post will encompass the past two weeks. And hopefully tomorrow I can catch up on those 300+ unread posts on my Bloglovin' feed. :)

1 | 2 | 3 | 4

If you like these Instagram photos, be sure to check back on Monday for an Insta-recap of my trip to Tennessee!

5. Summer 2013 Book Challenge: Month 3 (posted October 1)
4. Advice Needed: Stylish Walking Shoes for Europe (posted March 13)
3. Semi-Charmed Winter 2012 Book Challenge (posted October 15, 2012)
2. Autumn 2013 Book Challenge: The Preliminary List (posted September 30)
1. Semi-Charmed Autumn 2013 Book Challenge (posted September 25)

In case you missed it: My book challenge posts usually dominate my Google Analytics at the turn of the month (though I am surprised a post from 2012 showed up in the top three!), but I actually did post some new content in the past two weeks, including:

• two Travel Tuesday posts (on Madrid & Lisbon)
• a special post for my fiance's birthday
• a Book Chat post about reading my Kindle vs. print books
• a collection of my favorite Friday's Fancies creations for the link-up's 150th anniversary.
