Sunday Post – 9/22/2024

September 22, 2024 Lark_Bookwyrm Sunday Post 5

The Sunday Post is hosted by the wonderful Kimberly, the Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news, recap the past week, take a look ahead, and showcase our new treasures—I mean books!

The Past Week

In real life: My relative is doing better post-surgery (yay! I am so thankful!), but will continue to need help and support for several more weeks.

I was able to get back to work on my current freelance project part-time, thanks to Mr. Bookwyrm, who has taken on a lot of the logistical support (running errands, shopping, cleaning, as well as caregiving as needed.) Work was interrupted by a catastrophic software failure on Saturday, but my amazing IT guy (i.e., Mr. Bookwyrm) was able to solve the problem and get me back up and running. I still lost pretty much the whole day, though.

We also had a hailstorm on Saturday. Small hail, thank goodness: mostly pea-sized to dime-sized. I tried to get photos through the window, but they aren’t very good, so I won’t post them here.

Looking Ahead

Sunday Post – 9/29/2024

What I’ve Been Reading/Watching (since 7/14/2024)

Book Cover: Point by Point, by Celia Lake

Book cover:A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience, by Stephanie Burgis

Reading and listening: Given current stress levels, I continued bingeing my way through Celia Lake’s books, rereading In the Cards, Point by Point, and Carry On. I was excited to read her newest release, Enchanted Net (cover pictured below), which came out Friday, but I think I might wait until the other two books in the trilogy come out. It’s a historical fantasy romance told over a 3-book arc, and I’d kind of like to read them straight through. The other two books are due out in November and December, so thankfully it won’t be a long wait. With that decided (assuming I stick to it!), I turned my attention to finishing up A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience by Stephanie Burgis, which is a short novella and quite fun.

Listening to: I really haven’t had time to listen to anything in a while. Maybe in a week or two.

Watching: Same for television: no time for it, and when I do have time, I’d rather read.

Playing: A little bit of Pokemon Go, and my usual NYT word games: Wordle, Connections, Strands, and the Spelling Bee.
