Sunday Post. Can This Heatwave Be Over?

Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviews.

How are my fellow bookworms doing? 😊 I would like to say this has been a good week for me, but I spent it feeling like I'm melting and I have barely slept. How can someone study/work/blog under a heatwave?! Where I live, is not prepared for these high temperatures (my house is like a greenhouse during the summer). Needless to say, I have spent the days complaining about the hot weather, drinking gallons of water, and trying to read a few pages here and there.

What has been happening in my life:

🌻 I have officially finished the first year of my PhD. 🥳 Now, it is time to start working on my thesis. Hopefully, I will be able to do some work when the temperatures decrease.

🌻 I have also finished playing the original Uncharted trilogy. I will now write an abstract and hopefully it will be accepted (then I can start working on the essay). Also, the last game did remind me of a post that I have been wanting to write for a very long time.

🌻 If you follow me on Twitter, you know my Iago was bitten by what I now think to have been a wasp. He threw up, his heart rate was very high, he was having difficulty breathing, and his paw swelled. He had to take an injection and only then did he start feeling better. Iago is okay now, but it was really scary.

🌻 Binge watched Locke & Key and it's freaking amazing! Now, it's time to rewatch the first season of Timeless.

🌻 I'm proud to say that I finished two books this week (that's huge for me) and I can't wait to share with you how much I loved Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles. 💛

• It might be July, but I finally shared my answers to the Mid-Year Freak Out Book Tag (one of my favourite book tags). By the way, if you know of any interesting book tags, please let me know.

• I finished Incendiary by Zoraida Córdova a very long time ago, but only now did I find the words to tell you how much I adored this re-imagining of the Spanish Inquisition and its main character, the fearless Renata Convida.

Today I'm sharing with you my Birthday Book Haul! I'm so excited about The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins. The Hunger Games trilogy means a lot to me and I can't wait to plunge into this world again. I read Thorn by Intisar Khanani as an e-ARC and I loved it. Of course, I had to get a physical version of it. Unravel the Dusk by Elizabeth Lim arrived a few days after my birthday (after all, it was released on my b-day) and the cover is just gorgeous. 😍 I can't wait to learn what happens to Maia.

Are you also under a heat wave? Are you melting just like me?
