Welcome to the Sunday Post, a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Reviewer to share weekly news and updates on what we’ve been up to on our blog, with our books, and book-related happenings.
All the Legends, All the Lattes
I had a great reading week! I finished six books and they were all really good! Granted half of them were novellas and graphic novels, but still.
In particular, I finally read Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree, and omg, it totally lived up to the hype for me. I finished it in one sitting on Tuesday, neglected everything else I was supposed to do, and I don’t even regret it. I loved it so much and I cannot wait to read the prequel!
Books I read this week:
I’ve written reviews for most of them, and if you’re interested in what I thought about them, you can check them out! I’m not planning to write reviews for the Debbie Tung books, but I do want to mention them here and express how much I loved them and how relatable they are. It’s like she sees into my soul!
Other than reading and burying my head in books this week, I didn’t really do much else. But again, I don’t regret anything!

This Week
I’m reading Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt this week. Our book club is having its first meeting this weekend and this is our first book of the month! Yay!
I’m also reading The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan on audio, and rereading The Count of Monte Cristo. There’s a readalong happening for The Count of Monte Cristo and it’s one of my all-time favorite books so I couldn’t resist joining in!
I’m not sure if I should keep up the pretense of reading The Dance of Anger by Harriet Lerner. I still really want to, but I’m just not. How do I make myself read it?
How was your week? I hope you had a great week last week, and I hope you have a great one again this week!
I still have to read Legends & Lattes, but I loved Bookshops & Bonedust:-) And I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Remarkably Bright Creatures! Have a great week:-)
I’ve only just started RBC, but I’m loving it so far!
Ooh, I should check out Debbie Tung’s books. I see one about loving books! For some reason (hmmm) I find that very relatable.
Re: books that I’m not making progress with, sometimes I just make a bargain with myself. I can read anything else I fancy more, as long as I read five pages a day of that. And usually five pages ends up being more like seven or ten pages, to get to the end of a chapter, and then the book’s finished before I know it.
My STS/weekly roundup.
Great advice, thank you. I’ll try that this week. I loved Debbie Tung’s Book Love! I’m sure you’ll love it too!
I want to read Bookshop on the Corner. I don’t ever regret spending time on reading 😂
Have a great week ahead!

Thank you! I’m enjoyed The Bookshop on the Corner so far. I hope you’ll enjoy it when you read it too!
I enjoyed Our Missing Hearts. Have a great week!
Thank you! And the same to you!
I completely agree with you regarding Legends & Lattes – I’d recommend Bookshops & Bonedust if you haven’t yet had the pleasure. Glad you had such a good reading week and I hope the coming one is a good one for you:).
Thank you! Bookshops & Bonedust are definitely on my radar!
You should not have to “make” yourself read it. If you are not enjoying it, let it go. If you are super worried about it, try it another time. I have not seen Happily Every After by Debbie Tung, was it good? I LOVED Book Love by her.
LOL! I took so long to reply your comment, you’ve already read and finished the book! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
You are reading some great stuff. If you are not wanting to read a book, don’t. I mean I get that moody sometimes and put it on the pause shelf. Sometimes I manage to pick it up later, sometimes not. There are so many amazing books to read.

That’s true. I do want to read the book though, just having a hard time dealing with the reflections!
I’m looking forward to read Bookshops and Bonedust too.
I struggle to give up on books too but I rarely regret having done so.
Wishing you a wonderful reading week
I’m really excited about Bookshops and Bonedust. I hope you love it when you read it!
I can’t make myself read something. If it’s not working, it’s not working. Sometimes I try again later.
You’re right. I’ll try again later.
I’ve read those Debbie Tung books too, and really enjoyed them! Have you read her other ones, Book Love and Quiet Girl in A Noisy World? I liked those two, also.
Yes, I have! And I loved them too!
February is perfect for burying your head in a stack of books! I’m doing a readalong of The Brothers Karamazov. It’s a trip!
