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.
The Conqueror Challenge
I did it!! I finished my first challenge with The Conqueror Challenge with two days to spare!
Honestly, ever since the weather started getting cooler, I’ve been having a harder time with motivating myself to run and the last few weeks were hard. The Conqueror Challenge helps to motivate me, but even then I was almost going to extend my time goal because I felt so demotivated last week.
Posting about it here kept me accountable, and made me want to finish the challenge sooner so that I would be able to share on this Sunday Post that I did it!
So yes! I did it! I finished the last 5.2km just this morning! And it may or may not be a big deal for anyone else – we are all on our own personal journeys – but it’s a big deal to me and I’m proud of myself!
I just sent in for my medal and I’ll post a picture of it as soon as I receive it! Now on to the next challenge!
And other things
My project is coming along nicely. I have a little anxiety about not being able to make it in time, or that I won’t do a good job, but I keep reminding myself that finished is better than perfect. I’m sorry for being so mysterious about it but I promise that I’ll tell all once it’s done!
I’ve also been busy crocheting Christmas gifts. I’m a little late starting, but I’ve got some time and I think I’ll be able to finish in time. It’s great because I get to listen to audiobooks while crocheting, doing two of my favorite things at the same time!
As for books and reading; I only finished a single book last week. I’m still working through my 60-hour audiobook, Super Powereds: Year 4 by Drew Hayes, so I have an excuse!!
The Books
Books I read last week:
- Dear Enemy by Jean Webster – It’s unfair to compare it with Daddy-Long-Legs because they’re totally different stories but it’s hard not to compare them either. I love Daddy-Long-Legs too much and the first time I read Dear Enemy, I didn’t like it much at all. I loved it more this time around because I was able to manage my expectations this time and have a better reading experience.
Book(s) I’m reading:
- Super Powereds: Year 4 by Drew Hayes – On hour 37 of a 60-hour audiobook. I knew it was going to take up a chunk of the week! But I’m loving it and I don’t want it to end either. My only consolation is that the author has got other books I can read, but I’m sure I’ll miss these characters and this story.
- Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan – I am 25% into this book and I am loving it! The MC gets sucked into the world of her favorite books and it is so fun!!
Last Week on The Blog
This Week
I have so many books accumulating on my TBR because I spent so many hours with the Super Powered series. Maybe once I finish Super Powereds: Year 4, I’ll be able to make a dent on my TBR again!
How was your week? I hope you had a great week last week, and I hope you have a great one again this week!
Crafts and audiobooks are very compatible! Congrats on your challenge.
Anne – Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Thank you!
I’m only crocheting a couple of gifts this year, but I really do need to get started! Soon, soon… Good luck with yours!
Thank you! I’m going a little slow too but I think I’ll be able to finish in time!
I need to start crocheting again. I used to get so many audiobooks finished that way. 🎧
Here’s to great success with your secret project. 🙌
Wishing you a wonderful new week. ☀
Thank you! I’m both excited and nervous about it!
Congrats on reaching your goal! That’s many kms! You have me curious about Dear Enemy since I listened to Daddy-Long-Legs not too long ago. Is it a sequel? But different?
It’s a sequel, yes! But told from Sallie McBride’s POV – Judy Abbott’s roommate in college, and we don’t see a lot of Judy herself. It’s still good though!
Congrats on the challenge!
