Sunday Post. No More I'm Back

Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviews.

HELLO! I think it is time to stop writing "I'm back!". 😅 The last few months have been pretty eventful -- I fear I have been on an unlucky strike -- and blogging just wasn't a priority. In fact, even reading was not a priority. After flying through the pages in January, I had trouble reading one book per month. But now that my PhD studentship has begun, I'll be back to the reading and writing world -- and hopefully, to the blogging world too.

What happened this week:

🌻 I'm back doing research for my thesis, and I missed it so freaking much -- I missed doing research in general. Reading fiction and non-fiction, writing down my ideas on paper, looking for new books to add to my TBR pile with the excuse "it's for academic purposes." I missed it all!

🌻 I finished reading a book -- a massive accomplishment for someone who did not finish a single book the month before. By the way, if you know someone who would like to subscribe to Scribd, here's my link (my subscription is over, and that is how I read most books 🥺).

🌻 Signed up for online seminars and conferences -- I need to get my groove back.

🌻 Looked for new books, but I have no clue what has been released in the past five months. Any good recommendations?

🌻 Lots of crime shows & YouTube crime podcasts -- is that how we call them? 🤔

🌻 Kena: Bridge of Spirits is so freaking cute! If you haven't played it yet, you should. Now, let's play some Spyro.

 

The Gothic lover in me had to get her hands on Anatomy: A Love Story by Dana Schwartz (I probably misspelled the name and can't find it). And it was being sold almost half the price, so I really could not pass up the chance of having it. Skin of the Sea by Natasha Bowen had been under my radar since its release -- not only because of its beautiful cover, but also due to its alluring premise ("Simi prayed to the gods, once. Now she serves them as Mami Wata--a mermaid--collecting the souls of those who die at sea and blessing their journeys back home" 😍).

How have you been? Did you get new books this week?
