The Sunday Post [72]

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly at the Caffeinated Reviewer! It's an opportunity to share news, post a recap for the previous week, showcase books, and highlight what's planned for the week ahead.

News:

The weather has been SO AMAZING this week! It's been in the mid-sixties for days. My phone says we're supposed to get more snow in, like, two days, but I'm hoping it's a weird cosmic joke and we can officially say spring is here to stay (please please please).

Aside from some coughing, our household is on the mend! I really, really hope it's the end and no one gets sick for awhile. I need a break. Mom duties have been in overdrive for like a month. Since the weather's been so nice, I've been airing out the house, washing sheets, and sanitizing everything. Begone germs!

I didn't post much on the blog this past week, but I've been reading a lot! Work has been a little crazy, so I'm hoping to have a normal, more chill week this week. 

Previous Posts on the Blog:

What I'm Currently Reading:
I Am Made of Death by Kelly Andrew
🎧 Murder at Haven's Rock (Haven's Rock, #1) by Kelley Armstrong


What I Plan on Reading Next:
Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall
When the Bones Sing by Ginny Myers Sain

What I'm Watching:

There are FINALLY more dubbed Blue Lock episodes! I feel like it's been months since we've watched this show. This is one we've been watching with the kids, and we all really enjoy it. It was age appropriate until Ryusei Shidou showed up. His comments are almost always vulgar and shouldn't be repeated. Thankfully, they've been going over my kids' heads, but I wish this show had stayed clean for their benefit. It just seems unnecessary. The gif is Oliver Aiku and he's one of my faves!

Challenge Updates:
I'm setting my Physical TBR and NetGalley goals to 50! I hope I'm able to make a dent in both this year.

  1. We had weather in the 60s all week too, and today it's snowing! Welcome to spring, I guess? I want to start the Haven's Rock series too, enjoy😁

    1. I've heard that Colorado has a lot of "fake springs" before the real one. I just finished Haven's Rock and really enjoyed it! Have you read the Rockton series? I was told you need to start with that one, but it didn't impact my reading experience. You just don't know their pasts as well as people who have.

  2. It’s supposed to rain in St. Louis but my sister who lives in Kansas City says they’re getting snow. No thanks! I’m glad to hear that people are getting better at your house. I hope you have a wonderful week!

    1. I am! Thank you. I'm really hoping we're past the worst of winter. We have a week of 70's on the horizon and I'm jazzed about it. :)

  5. Loving your haul. Yes, after a week of warm days, we have a snowstorm in the forecast this week as well. I am desperate for spring.

    1. Boooo snowstorm. People keep telling me that Colorado has a lot of "fake springs" before winter is officially over. I'm hoping this week in the 70's is indicative of warmer weather on the horizon.

  6. "Begone germs" LOL. I hope the snow doesn't bring a fresh wave of sickness with it...now you deserve a break and some blogging time!

  8. You can read 50 of your own books! I set my goal at 48 for the TBR challenge, but I hope to blow it out of the water. I have already read a decent amount for my goal. I haven't looked at the weather to see if we are supposed to get snow or not, it is 39 here but the sun was out most of the day, so it felt nice. I am glad you all are on the mend! Have a great week!

    1. I hope so! I'll likely get most of my reading in over the summer and holidays, but I've been squeezing them in where I can during the week. Are you still having cold weather? I know this was earlier in the month. Ours has significantly improved! It's just windy.

  10. I'm glad your weather has been that nice, I hope the snow is just flurries. It's been a long winter! Enjoy your books, they look good especially the Kelly Andrew one. Enjoy the Blue Lock episodes!

    1. Last week we went into church and it was super windy. When we came out... blizzarding, lol. We could barely see to walk to our car, and by the time we got home there was a layer of snow on everything. It didn't last through the next day, but it was still pretty crazy.

  11. I’m glad you’re feeling better! Today’s high was 2 Celsius (36 Fahrenheit) in Toronto which is much warmer than it was even a few days ago. I can’t wait until we hit the 60s F, too!

  12. Last week was beautiful weather here as well! I will be reading I Am Made of Death soon as well. I had the stuffed up head last week and today it's turned into a bit of coughing. Hoping it goes quick. Oh yeah, what did you mean by my "blogger" link still going to my old blog? Not sure which link that is? But I definitely want to get it fixed.

    1. I hope you enjoyed I Am Made of Death! I'm about halfway through and really like it.

      I'm also glad you were able to get your Blogger link sorted! :)

    1. Same! This week is supposed to be in the 70's and it's going to be glorious. Both Haven's Rock and I Am Made of Death are very enjoyable! I'm almost finished with I Am Made of Death.

  14. The weather has been amazing here too, but we have a chance of tornadoes tomorrow. That’s just living in the south though. You never know what you’ll get from day to day. LOL.

    1. Oof, yeah. I'm from Texas and we'd visit family in Oklahoma all the time. We had to use my grandparents tornado shelter once and it was awful. The space was soooo full of frogs.

    1. Thank you! Everyone is currently well and will hopefully stay that way. This week is supposed to be really nice, so we've planned a lot of activities to do together over the break.

  16. I loved fake spring last week, then a cold front blew in. It's not been too bad though, and we have no snow in our forecast (thank goodness!) Hope you have a great week

  18. Glad everyone is feeling better. Eleanor and I have had this stupid, lingering cough from being sick a month ago. So, we still sound sick even though we are fine. It's annoying.

    1. My kiddos had a cough that just would not go away for weeks. I hope you're both feeling better and cough free by now!

      Delete
    2. Finally we are better! It was awful, because everyone thought we were sick and we constantly had to explain, no we are better, but this stupid cough is just not leaving us. I don't think I have ever had a cough that long in my life.
