Sunday Post. The Most Amazing Book Haul

Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviews.

Welcome to another Sunday Post! This post comes later than usual, but for a very good reason: I've just added the final touches to my thesis and I'm about to send it for one last correction. 😄 *fingers crossed that I don't have to make any major changes and that I can start getting ready to defend it, even if just thinking about it gives me a panic attack*

This week in my life:

🌻 I got behind replying to all your lovely comments and there wasn't much blog hopping this week. I'm so sorry! I'll try to catch up this Sunday.

🌻 As I've been short on time, I still have four episodes of Lucifer to watch. The devil only gets more devilish. 😈 I also have a confession to make: I'm not as excited about the finale of Game of Thrones as I thought I'd be...
🌻 I got my first proofread freelancer job. I was really excited about it, until I realized the translator did an awful job and I found myself translating. Fifteen hours of straight work! The next day, I could not look at the computer screen. 

🌻 Finally started working on a paper that I'll be presenting next month. It's about YA Frankenstein retellings and I'm discussing Cadaver & Queen by Alisa Kwitney and The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White.

• As promised, last Monday I shared my newest post on my mental health series. I compiled a list that features 37 young adult books about mental health. I tried to include a wide-range of mental illnesses, but if I missed something important to you, please let me know. 

• This review was supposed to be up on Friday, but I could not force myself to type or stare at the computer screen one minute straight. I reviewed Five Midnights by Ann Dávila Cardinal. What I loved the most about the story is much more than a folk monster that comes to haunt misbehaved children. It's about losing and reclaiming one's culture.

Once again, I didn't have much time to blog hop, but here some discussion posts that I caught my attention (even if I've yet to drop a comment): 

• Jessica @A Great Read talks about her undying love for vampires. Loving vampires (or any other supernatural creature) FOREVER!

• Norrie @Reading Under the Blankie shares seven books she wish she could discuss with other people. 

• Sam @We Live and Breath Books wonders about why bloggers switch from Blogger to WordPress and why she decided to stay on blogger. As someone who has been wondering about going self-hosted, I've been thinking about this a lot.

 

 

I have been trying not to freak out about this, but after keeping quiet for two days I can no longer keep all these feeling bottled up: I GOT AN E-ARC OF SPIN THE DAWN BY ELIZABETH LIM!!! 😭 I still can't believe I'm joining the blog tour hosted by The Fantastic Flying Book Club.

Did you have a good week? Any new books?
