My Week in Books post
@WhatCathyReadNext published a “My Week in Books” roundup listing recent reads, reviews, and new acquisitions on April 12, signaling active personal-curation conversations on X today (x.com). The post drew 7 likes and 176 views, showing reader interest in weekly reading recaps (x.com).
Book blogger Cathy at What Cathy Read Next used her April 12 “My Week in Books” post to bundle one week of reading into a single update: recent posts, current reading, books finished, and new arrivals. (whatcathyreadnext.co.uk) The post said she had published a review of *Seascraper* by Benjamin Wood during the week and joined the “Six on Saturday” gardening meme on April 11. It also appeared the same day as part of a standing “My Week in Books” series on her site. (whatcathyreadnext.co.uk; whatcathyreadnext.co.uk) That format is common in book-blog circles: one recurring post collects links, reading progress, and buying habits that would otherwise be scattered across several updates. Cathy’s site runs the feature as a category archive, with earlier entries published on March 29, April 5, and April 12, 2026. (whatcathyreadnext.co.uk; whatcathyreadnext.co.uk; whatcathyreadnext.co.uk) The weekly roundup also sits inside a larger network of structured book-blog prompts. Cathy’s recent posts reference “Top Ten Tuesday,” a weekly meme that has run since 2010 and moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in 2018. (whatcathyreadnext.co.uk; thatartsyreadergirl.com) Those prompts give independent bloggers a repeatable publishing rhythm: one post for lists, one for midweek reading status, and one for the Sunday recap. Cathy’s March 29 roundup, for example, linked her “Top Ten Tuesday” entry and a “WWW Wednesday” check-in in the same weekly format. (whatcathyreadnext.co.uk) The April 12 post also landed in a month crowded with new-release coverage across the book internet. BookBub, Time, and IGN each published April 2026 reading lists in the previous two weeks, giving bloggers fresh titles to review, request, and add to their shelves. (bookbub.com; time.com; ign.com) Cathy’s own site description frames that work as ongoing personal curation rather than one-off reviewing. The homepage bills What Cathy Read Next as a site “for book lovers everywhere,” and the weekly recap turns that promise into a dated record of what one reader actually picked up, finished, and wrote about.
