The Sunday Post [76]

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:

I finally made it to Christmas break! The week before is always a little hectic with everyone ready for the holiday. We plan a lot of fun activities for the kids, so their routines and schedules are thrown off. All in all, I think everyone had a good time and ended the week on a positive note. I'll have to pop up there every few days to check on my mice though. My students named them Mist and Cloud, and they'll be wanting fresh water and more food by Monday. 

I have a huge stack of books I want to read the next two weeks. I don't think I'll make my Goodreads goal of 100 books, but I think 50 is doable before the end of the year. Most of my reads have been audiobooks, so that progress is going well. I need to be better about picking up a book instead of my phone, but it's just so easy to doom scroll after a long day. It's a habit I'm trying really hard to break. 

My kids keep asking to open a small present and seem genuinely surprised when I tell them no. They're so excited and I love it! This time of year is always special and I hope we're making memories they'll treasure forever. The weather hasn't been too cold, so we've been spending a lot of time outside during the day, and then we watch anime or play games in the evenings. It's a treat for them since we don't allow screen time during the school week. We also have a ton of board games and love sitting down after dinner and playing something together. 

I hope everyone had a restful weekend! Enjoy the holiday and Merry Christmas. ❤️

What I'm Watching:

We'll finish watching My Hero Academia over the break. We're down to less than 50 episodes. I think there's an additional episode coming out in May of next year, but the show as a whole has concluded. We also watched the final episode of May I Ask for One Final Thing? and enjoyed it. The ending was okay and I'm curious what a second season will look like. I'm thinking of starting Jujutsu Kaisen next.

Challenge Updates:

• Audiobook Challenge: 26 / 30
• Goodreads Challenge: 31 / 100
• Physical TBR: 4 / 50
• NetGalley: 15 / 50

I'm feeling pretty good about my Audiobook Challenge. If I can review all of the books I've read (some before this year), I could probably meet my NetGalley goal as well. My physical TBR isn't looking great, but like I said in another TSP, I got rid of soooooo many books. I honestly don't have that many physical books left on my shelves that I haven't read. How are you doing with your goals this year?
