Sunday #25

 


The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on your blog for the week ahead. Join in weekly, bi-weekly or for a monthly wrap up.

The Sunday Salon (hosted by ReaderBuzz) is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week. It's a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 

What I Did:

Tuesday, I did my grocery shopping and then played a video game with a few friends. Wednesday, I took my weekly trip to the library. Friday, I had drinks after work with some friends and coworkers. Saturday, I had dinner with 2 of my younger siblings and then we went to a short film at the planetarium. Sunday will be for cleaning and reading.  

What I Read:

Honestly, a pretty average reading week. Started the week with The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor (3 Stars), I then read An Enchanted Knight by Hildie McQueen (3 Stars) and Face Off by Chelsea Curto (3 Stars). I have also been working on the Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb.  

What I Checked Out From The Library:

8 Keys to Healing, Managing and Preventing Burnout

At Whit's End by Bailey Hannah

Dogsred by Satoru Noda

The Sunshine Man by Emma Stonex



Books I Bought:

None - I am putting myself on a book buying ban for the month of January.

Reading Goal: 10/185
Pages Goal: 3,157/50,000

    Hope you're having a good weekend reading-wise! Are you enjoying Assassin's Apprentice? I adored it when I first read it, but I think it'd be a tough reread, both because I know what happens and because certain things would annoy me more. (Not bad writing, I mean, but like... about the characters.)

    OH, was the film a science film or fictional story? I've only seen "star" programs at planetariums.

    Reading is much more fun than cleaning.

    Wishing you a happy week

Top Ten Tuesday: Recs by the Alphabet- B

Top Ten Tuesday was created by  The Broke and the Bookish  in June of 2010 and was moved to  That Artsy Reader Girl  in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. I will be doing my top favorites of the year at another time so I decided to go rouge and share Ten books that start with B.  In 2025, I got really into doing an alphabet challenge and I even managed to complete it - not sure if it's beginners luck or if the amount of reading I do just making it easier for me but I had a lot of fun and I will be doing it again in 2026. I wanted to start creating rec lists for each letter of the alphabet to challenge myself and to share books that I enjoy with others that might also be doing the challenge. Here is B. Have you read any of these? Let me know in the comments.     1.Bear With Me by Nicole Blanchard  2. Being Ace: An Anthology. Edited by Madeline Dyer 3. Bar Down by St...
