It seems like it's finally time. I tested positive for COVID-19. Personally, I'm more upset at the fact that I even got it after successfully avoiding it for so long. I'm not sure how long or how bad it's going to be, but I feel like the worst of my symptoms subsided. I still have them, but they're not as bad as when I first noticed the symptoms.

Why am I making a post about this? I only have one post that i can guarantee on its scheduled date in queue. I'm not sure I can finish more reviews before I start the semi-hiatus while in this state. I will definitely try though. I do have more free time since I can't really do anything for work. Still, I should take the time to rest and recover. I know the world is more prepared to handle the virus, but it's still not one to be taken lightly.

Thankfully I have a good support system to take care of me while I'm not in the greatest health. I hope I can get more done for y'all to see, but for now, I anticipate after the next review we will be starting the two week interval between the reviews.

Thanks for being patient with me! I'll see you in the next one.

It's about that time again. By now, I'm sure y'all are getting the pattern, or at least what I intend the pattern to be. We're going to get something new which I'll get to in a bit. You probably noticed in my previous update that I mentioned five straight reviews of titles I've already reviewed.

This batch includes the other two titles, which again, I will get to in a bit. The significant part of this batch is the introduction of a new category of reviews, BOOKS! That's right, I'm adding books to my arsenal. On New Year's Day, I went with my cousin to a book store and I decided then and there I would make it a New Year's Resolution to read more books, particularly fiction. I specify that because I already read tons of books at work, primarily work related, but there are some interesting reads. I may change my mind and add these books to review as well. I'm gonna be honest and say I am not doing well to uphold my resolution completing 2 fiction books in 6 months.

For the time being, I'm adding the books I read to the top of my titles on deck for review. Otherwise, I'll never get to it. It's not a priority like revisiting titles are. However, it is close.

With that being said here's what to expect in the next couple of weeks.

Boruto - 07.14.2022 Ah. The bane of my existence. Fun fact: this one is the reason why I decided to split up my reviews into seasons/arcs. Don't worry! I do try to space them out as much as I can. At the very least, I need a break from all of this. Until then, I think it's good to emotionally prepare for this one.

Bridgerton - 07.19.2022 With the release of Season 2 earlier this year, you know I had to talk about it! Now Season 3 and 4 are also confirmed, and as much as I want to go off on a tangent, I should hold off until it is time to make the review. I'll keep an eye out for any more news, but to avoid spoilers I won't mention it here.

In the Woods by Tana French - 07.24.2022 Here it is! The first book review on PonReviews!! This was the book my cousin was recommending on New Years. The inaugural book review is coming a lot later sooner than I expected! It'll be a nice change of pace, and now my title pool is much larger for it.

After this set of reviews, I may slow down the pace. I'm not sure yet though. My main concern right now is burnout. I am handling a lot more in my day job, so it gives me less time and energy to work on these reviews. However, I don't want to stop of course. I'm still working on finding that balance between my job and my hobby (these reviews).

Thanks again for reading!

Happy Father's Day to those who celebrate! To those who may not want to celebrate, I'm your new daddy. Also, it's Juneteenth! It's always good to be aware of history: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Of course, keeping up with holidays is not why y'all tune in for my posts.

You're probably here to see what the next batch is all about. I'll give you a hint: They're all familiar names. In all honesty, I didn't anticipate that the titles I've already reviewed would be lined up this way. This also means that we have five straight reviews of titles I've already reviewed at least once.

I hope y'all don't mind me going back to those titles. The way I chose to order the reviews had a purpose, though I guess this was a bit of a hiccup when putting them together. Regardless, I still feel it's a good order because the titles are still spaced out in a way that doesn't overwhelm my feed with the same title over and over again. Eventually, I may be forced to bunch up the titles together, but if I can, I will avoid doing so.

With that being said, here are our familiar titles on deck:

Boruto - 06.24.2022 And we have another Boruto review. You might be thinking there's a lot of Boruto reviews that seem to be on deck. Believe me there are. There's another one already written, and plenty more I need to get through. Get this though, even with this many reviews on deck, I'm still not caught up to the anime. Don't worry though, it won't be a barrage of reviews for Boruto coming in the coming months. There will be breaks between the reviews for your sake and mine.

BoJack Horseman - 06.29.2022 It's been a minute since I revisited this one, and unlike Boruto, it will be quite some time before I get to Season 5. You probably wish it was the other way around. Trust me I do too, but it just happened that way. I still haven't watched Season 6, so it'll be some time before I can finish the reviews for this series.

Solo Leveling - 07.04.2022 Who doesn't love celebrating America by reading about a Korean webcomic? Unlike Boruto and BoJack, I've completed this one 100%. The manhwa had finished a while ago and this will be the last review for Solo Leveling. I did promise that I would revisit this again once it's complete. So you will see it soon.

To be honest, I wasn't sure if I would be able to guarantee Solo Leveling by the time this update post went out. Elections were in full swing in my area, and it was pretty overwhelming considering the amount of research I needed to do if I wanted to pick the right choice. On top of that, I've been needed at work a lot lately. Of course, I'm able to manage my time enough to get it done, but as I said before, I don't want to get too stressed.

Then again, it's why I made the system I'm going with for scheduling my reviews. If IRL responsibilities take over my time, I'll slow down my posts and give myself a chance to catch up.

With that, that's all for now!

berrie was also a v good boy for his trim, and now his fuckin feet actually look normal and not like someone glued a hotdog on him under his coronary bands for him to use as feet

trimmer said I was doing a good job with kirby’s feet; to the point where she was like “if you want u can do the maintenance trims and just call me out for a second opinion/to check on them”
