Sunday Post. Birthday Week! 🥳

Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviews.

Good morning book lovers. How are you doing? 😊 So, this is the last Sunday Post before my birthday on Tuesday. I want to write that time flew by, but it didn't. I mean, staying at home due to the pandemic made sure that the days are longer than usual. I feel my last birthday was a thousand years ago! Also, this will be my first birthday without Faúlha (last year was my first birthday without Luna), so I'm not overly excited. Especially because I got Faúlha for my birthday. He was my most beloved birthday gift and I miss him dearly. 💗

What has been happening in my life:

🌻 I'm still very behind my Goodreads goal. I have been thinking about challenging myself and try to read 15 books in 30 days. However, I fear I would never be able to do it, since I'm a really slow reader...

🌻 I have been spending my time working on the last presentation of my first PhD year, as well as revising a research article, so it hasn't been a very eventful week. Just me at home in front of a computer screen. I'm dying for a holiday...

🌻 I'm hosting a giveaway!

• I shared with you the beautiful cover of The Theft of Sunlight by Intisar Khanani. I loved Thorn, so I'm very excited about this companion novel.

• A million years after requesting Grave Mercy from Netgalley, I finally read and reviewed it. I did have some issues with Ismae, but if you enjoy assassin orders, then this book is definitely for you.

• I reviewed Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno Garcia. This book was all I could ever want in a Gothic tale written in the twenty-first century.

As you can see, the last two weeks were fruitful. But I must say that I only paid for two of these books and I paid less than three euros for them. A bargain! 😋 For the second time, one of my wishes was granted on Netgalley. Thank you Wednesday Books for granting my wish to read A Golden Fury by Samantha Cohoe. 💛 Fable by Adrienne Young was on the "Read Now" section for seventy-two hours and I just couldn't resist it. I love Young's writing style! Yes, I know, the cover of Queen of the Conquered by Kacen Callender has a snake on it. But this is the first step to conquer my fear (which I don't think I will be able to conquer, but perhaps I will be able to read books with snakes on the cover without freaking out). The Wolf of Oren-Yearo by K.S. Villoso was recommended to me by Sim @Flipping Through Pages a few months ago. When I saw it was at 99 cents, I had to buy it.

What are your plans for July? Which book releases are you most excited about?
