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.
Under the Weather
I came down with a cold the first half of last week and was pretty much tired the whole of the week. I was quite miserable, not just because of the cold, but also because I was already behind with work since the week before and I’d intended to catch up last week but only got further behind. I didn’t even do the Top Ten Tuesday for the week, and I haven’t caught up to replying comments either. 😭
As for The Conqueror Challenge, I didn’t do well since I was sick, but I did push a little more towards the end of the week and got 18km out of my 20km goal. I should mention that 6km of it was only done this morning.
Really hoping for a better, healthier, and more productive week coming up!
The Books
Books I read last week:
- Super Powereds: Year 1 by Drew Hayes – I’m enjoying this series so much even though I mentioned earlier that the writing is quite amateurish. The story and the characters are really good though!
- Super Powereds: Year 2 by Drew Hayes – The first book was 26 hours, this one was 32 hours and just as entertaining. I just finished it last night!
- Pet Sematary by Stephen King – This is both a buddy read on my online bookclub, and the BOTM for my in-person bookclub! It’s harrowing, horrifying, and soooo good!
Book(s) I’m reading:
- Super Powereds: Year 3 by Drew Hayes – A whopping 41 hours on audio! I just started it this morning.
- The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young – It’s been on my TBR and it’s also a buddy read. I’m only on Chapter 4 right now.

This Week
It’s the last week of the month so I have some wrapping up to do. I’d like to try to finish a couple more books before the month is over too.
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’m behind on my reading for this month and unlikely to finish either. The days go by fast.
Don’t worry about being behind. I was talking to my VP (and boss) on Friday and I was saying how far behind I am and she said she operates on “behind” and as long as the most important stuff is taken care of that’s all that matters. I’m thankful for an understanding boss! ‘
Oh, wow! A book that’s 41 hours long. Even with it sped up I don’t think I could read that.
I hope things go well for you this week.
I enjoy Drew Hayes. I’ve read mostly his Fred the Vampire Accountant series. I hope next week is much improved. But take care not to push yourself too hard.

Try to give yourself a break and get over the cold fully. It’s okay to slow down, lol. I think you’ve smashed your reading goals for the year already. I had to take a breather too after Wordfest and the Challenger tennis tournament in the city … I was tired. Now less driving! Enjoy your week.
