Sunday Post 9/13/20

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blogs.

No TBR to strictly follow this week as I was still recovering, so I let myself do… whatever really. Plus, I spent Monday in the ER so I didn’t have time to make one haha.

• Chaotic by T.S. Snow
  – What a cliffhanger there and right as if felt like the story was starting to take off. 
• Unnatural by Alessandra Hazard
  – Interesting and entertaining as usual. 
• Bear, Otter, and The Kid by TJ Klune
  – Another good book by TJ Klune. Definitely not a favorite, but I do think I’ll continue the series. 
• Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper by J.L. Bryan
  – A re-read as I try to get further into this series. I’m feeling the slightly spooky mysterious vibes. The challenge/goal it is helping me with is to read outside of the romance genre. 
• Vice College for Young Demons #1-4 by Marie Mistry
  – I own the first of four– started as a five star series, the last was 3.5. Really interesting and enjoyable. 

• Teen Titans: Beast Boy by Kami Garcia & Gabriel Picolo 💥
  ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 – Such a fun little book! I love Beast Boy ^_^
• Resurrection by Siobhan Davis 🍰
  ⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Rebellion by Siobhan Davis 🍰
  ⭐⭐⭐ – This series started out great, but I’m just not interested enough to finish it. 
• Deven and the Dragon by Eliot Grayson 🍰🌈
  ⭐⭐⭐.5 – Lovely and sweet, but I was never truly hooked 😕
• Sweet Obsession by Callie Rose 🍰
  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – As you might have been able to tell from the last few books, I’m in the mood for dark romance and this one is… kind of fitting the bill. Not what I was looking for, but I’m interested to see how it plays out. 

»Did Not Finish

Nothing! 😀 This, this is so good to hear. 

»Currently Reading

I’m about halfway through Sweet Retribution and it is interesting, I have a few theories on how it will go down, but sometimes it feels slow. lol I’m waiting for the action scenes, I think. I am also kind of reading Cool Beans errr I was, but I haven’t picked it up in a week. Hopefully I’ll look at it more in the next few days. 

General News

Books: Surprisingly enough, all but one of the books I read this week were on my TBR. Errr well, I mean, sequels weren’t, but for sure their first books were and that’s all that really matters to me. So, I’m pretty proud of myself for sticking to at least one of my TBRs haha. I also read 3 books from my Monthly TBR and one unread book I already owned. Pretty darn good for feeling shitty all week!

Reviews:  I’m giving myself a pass this week on this because I needed rest. I’m not even planning on writing today, so probably no review post this week. I’m giving myself this weekend to rest again and then I’ll get back in the groove this week. 

Watched: Again, I didn’t feel great this week which meant concentrating on reading was touch and go. I watched The Great British Bake Off – Masterclass which was lovely. Then a few episodes of The Chase while figuring out what I wanted to watch next. When I could mostly concentrate, but was too tired to read I finally settled on What We Do In The Shadows! LOVED IT! I can’t wait for Season Three… please tell me we are getting a season three!! 

For date night I picked Mordecai with Johnny Depp and it was… alright. A few good funny moments and a good cast, but… meh. 

Other: So today is my last day of medication (yay!) and I’m so tired haha, but don’t feel like I’m going to die, so double yay. 

Today

While I have to do some cleaning around the house, I plan on reading the day away. Definitely plan on continuing (and finishing?) the Ruthless Games series. I just really want dark and gritty… but I also feel like reading something with a magical element? Soooo I’m not quite sure what I’ll do… So the other books are ones I’m considering, but we will see. 

What are you doing on this lovely Sunday?
