Hello book lovers. How are you doing? 😊 Since I'm almost done with my thesis, I decided to give myself an indulgent week. But those are not only the good news. As I told you before, I'm going through a blogging slump. To battle my lack of will to write and create content, I sat in front of my laptop and forced myself to do it. Not saying the slump is over, but I did share some new posts!
This week in my life:
🌻 After ten years without drawing, I decided to work on some digital draws. It has been a fun experience. I ended up sharing my little purple dragon.
🌻 Finished watching The Sinner (so many twists), watched Black Summer (I was expecting so much more) and I'm now watching The Umbrella Academy (so much love for Klaus).
🌻 Since I gave myself an indulgent week, there was a lot of Sims 4. I still missing Sims 2. Now, it's time for Kingdom Hearts II. 🎮

- In a first attempt to get out of my blogging slump, after listening to the kind words of some lovely bloggers, I took part of the Disney Book Tag. If you love Disney, you should join this tag too.
- My thesis might be almost over, but I still have to defend it and I can't lose track of any argument. So, I took advantage of my discussion of the importance of YA literature and wrote a discussion post in which I wonder about what makes a novel young adult.
- Yesterday, I took part in another book tag: The Pancake Book Tag aka the most delicious book tag. 🥞 I'll always take any opportunity to drooling over food and ramble/gush about books.
- Annemieke @A Dance With Books shared her experience on buying full book series before reading the first book. Does that work out for you?
- What do you when your post flops? Becky @A Fool's Ingenuity talked about how she reacts when one of her posts don't do as well as she was expecting to and it's so relatable.
- Do you read adult fantasy? Dani @Perspective of a Writer gives us three reasons why she says no to adult fantasy (for the most part).
Once again, I've only added one new book to my ever-growing TBR pile. Maybe next week I'll have a few more books to show, since I went on a NetGalley spree. I bought Jade City by Fonda Lee. I heard so many wonderful things about this book that when I saw it on Kobo store at such a low price, I didn't resist buying it. Have you read it?
To everyone who celebrates it, Happy Easter!

It won't be long and you will be completely finished with your thesis. Life will be happy again.
ReplyDeleteI've been doing lots of drawing and baking lately. I've never had any training in drawing or baking, but I love doing both very much.
I'd like to invite you to join in at Sunday Salon on my blog each weekend, too. Sunday Salon has been around for about twelve years, but I've just taken over the meme, and I hope to build it up again to becoming a great place to share links and visit other blogs and talk books.
Thank you. I can't believe how close I'm of finishing my thesis. :) I also didn't have any training in drawing, but I've always enjoyed it and I've decided to give it an opportunity.
DeleteThank you for letting me know about Sunday Salon. :)
Happy readings!
Wait, Chucky's back? Oh my! It must be an incredible feeling to almost be at the end of writing your thesis. Good luck finishing it up!
ReplyDeleteYes! I only learned this week about the film (there's even a poster in where Chucky killed Woody from Toy Story). Thank you, Sam. So close of finally being done with it. Happy readings! ;)
DeleteYou can do digital draws? I dream of being able to do so but so far only pen and paper or sharpie for this girl ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can, but only on a tablet and with a digital pen (on computer, I can't draw anything, just built/create designs). I'm sure if you try, you'll be able to do it too.
DeleteHappy readings!;)
I miss Sims 2 but Sims 4 is a pretty good alternative. I actually have Sims 2 but uninstalled because I think I have moved on to Sims 4 now. The graphics are better and I love the ability for sims to multi task. And good for you forcing yourself to try to blog, I've liked the posts I've seen so far. I hope it works to get you back into blogging. I also have Jade City on my shelves, I hope the both of us enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI do have Sims 2 too, but it doesn't work on my laptop. I'll never be able to play it again and that makes me sad since I bought every single expansion. However, even though I miss it, Sims 4 is so much fun!!! The multi task ability is one of my favourite things about the game - eating and watching TV at the same time is perfect for the Sims needs.
DeleteAww, thank you. <3
If you ever want to buddy read Jade City, let me know. :)
Happy readings! ;)
I’m glad you had an indulgent week. If I had Sims 4, I’d be playing it constantly. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Hahah, Sims 4 is addictive. Happy readings, Aj! :)
DeleteA remake of Chucky? Really? Sigh I’m getting tired of the endless remakes.
ReplyDeleteHope you Have a better reading week
I'm actually excited about this one (I hated the previous sequels/remakes - not sure what to call them) since now Chucky is a robot that seems to malfunction instead of a possessed doll.
DeleteHappy readings! ;)
Well done on finishing the thesis! Almost there! I can't wait for the post when you announce graduation!
ReplyDeleteI loved the Umbrella Academy. It was off the wall crazy but it just ticked my boxes (and Klaus was my fav too).
Thank you. Let's hope I can post that announcement very soon. =D Umbrella Academy was crazy good. In the beginning, I had some issues with Klaus, but he ended up being my fav.
DeleteHappy readings! ;)
I hope your Easter was lovely! I know the feeling about a blogging slump. Writing my thoughts on books has been sooo hard lately. Enjoy your new book!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope you had a lovely Easter as well. :) Hate blogging slumps. I hope we can both be able to easily write our thoughts on books very soon. Happy readings! ;)
DeleteI hope you had a great Easter! <3 I still have Jade City to read as well. it sounds amazing
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope you had a great Easter as well. <3 I'm so excited about Jade City. Can't wait to read it. Happy readings! ;)
DeleteYay for giving yourself a break. You are near the end of the thesis and then will have a new phase of work. It is an exciting time! It is also a big change so allow yourself time to process and adjust. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post
Fingers crossed everything goes well on this new phase that is approaching. :) Thank you Ann. <3 Happy readings! ;)
DeleteBest of luck on defending your thesis. I'm sure you'll do great!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Happy readings! ;)
DeleteSounds like your thesis is coming along. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteJade City looks interesting.

DeleteThank you so much for sharing my post too Tania!! My writing partner read Jade City and really seemed to enjoy the magic. ❤️ Good luck with your thesis! You can do it. ;)
ReplyDeleteNo need to thanks. Your discussion posts are very interesting and insightful. I'm so excited about Jade City. Hopefully, I'll read it ASAP! Thank you. <3
DeleteHappy readings, Dani! ;)
Blogging slumps are so hard to get out of. I used to draw, but haven’t in a long time. I miss it! I love watching shows on Netflix too! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLindy@ A Bookish Escape
Now that I started drawing again, I noticed how much I missed it. Yes! I don't know what I'd do without Netflix. =P
DeleteHappy readings! ;)
Your little purple dragon is so cute. I love everything dragon. I hope you enjoy your new book addition.
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you. <3 I love dragons too. Happy readings! ;)
DeleteHappy Easter! Hope you had a lovely day :)
ReplyDeleteI tried to watch The Umbrella Academy, but didn't like it at all. I'm interested in The Sinner though - it sounds very good.
Thank you. I hope you had a lovely day as well. :) The mysteries around the murders in The Sinner are brilliantly written.
DeleteHappy readings! ;)
Congrats on being almost done with your thesis. That must feel great! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd good to hear you're working through your blogging slump. Aren't those the worst?!
Have a great week and happy reading!
Thank you. I can't even describe how I feel about being so close of finishing it. :) I hate blogging slumps. They always happen at the worst time.
DeleteHappy readings! ;)
Initially, I didn't like Klaus, but he really started to grow on me! I think he shows the most character development by the end of the season. Just wait until you meet ----! It's someone very important to Klaus. I hope you enjoy the rest of it! I'm curious what they will do with a second season.
ReplyDeleteLindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 💬
I must confess that I had my doubts about Klaus in the beginning, but then he became my favourite. He really did grow a lot throughout the series. Me too. Hopefully, it will be as amazing as the first one.
DeleteHappy readings! ;)
Oh my gosh, I LOVE Klaus!! Congrats on taking time for yourself! <3 When everyone gets busy, that can be hard to do, but it sounds like you had a great time!

Klaus is EVERYTHING!!! =P I just needed a week without thinking about my thesis all the time. Happy readings, Erica! ;)
