Sunday Post | “I just want to be married again…”

Posted February 3, 2024 by Haze in Sunday Post, Weekly Book Memes / 32 Comments

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. 

“And I just want a million dollars…!”

Funny story, last week I posted about maybe starting an in-person book club. I was only kinda joking, but guess what?!

Yup, there’s a book club.

I asked around and ended up getting a handful of people who are interested, and that makes me so happy! It’s just getting started and our first meeting is going to be at the end of the month, so who knows what’s going to happen and if it will work out long term, but I really hope it does!

So I spent the first part of the week setting up a couple of platforms for our new bookclub, for book picks and voting on our first book, getting to know each other, and so on. I’m nervous and excited for our first meeting! It’s totally still open to new members, if you happen to live or know anyone who lives in Calgary! Just letting you all know it’s an open invitation!

As for everything else, I’m running behind and trying to catch up. I didn’t read a lot, but I managed to finish Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries, and I loved it! I’m still working on Stiletto, the second book in the Checquy Files series by Daniel O’Malley. I haven’t gotten much else done this week, unfortunately. The new month caught me by surprise, January went by so fast! How was January for you?

This Week

I’m sure I can finish Stiletto this week, and I have Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi up next on audiobook. On e-book, I’ve got Death by Dumpling by Vivien Chien, and I’ve got Legends and Lattes as a physical copy from the library. I am looking forward to all of them!

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 get that. I’ve been in online book clubs and I love the convenience, but I feel like I need to get out of the house once in a while and meet some people in real life!

  1. That is so cool about the book club! I hope it goes well.

    It’s so funny you said January went by fast because everyone says the month drags where I am. It does feel that way in some ways but what is weird where I live is that February seems to drag on and I think that’s because it’s so cold and snowy the whole month.

    Hope you have a great week!

    • I don’t know. It’s weird because I’m really feeling that “the days are long but the years are short” feeling. Maybe it’s because I wanted to do so much in January and didn’t manage to, so I wasn’t ready for the month to end!

    • Thank you for the encouragement, I am a bit nervous with it being a new book club and wondering if it will work out, but I’m going to let it happen and enjoy the ride either way. I love that we have some of the same reading tastes! I always fangirl when I see someone else reading a book I loved!

  2. Yay for starting your own book club! I hope it works out and you have a great first meeting. I am so glad you loved Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries! I hope you enjoy your reading and have a great week!

  3. That’s so exciting your book club is coming along after posting about it last week how there was no bookclub! I hope it will go well and that your first meeting is a fun one 🙂
