The Sunday Post [84]

 

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 wish every weekend were a three-day weekend! I feel like I actually get to rest and reset, while still getting everything done that I need to (grocery shopping, cleaning around the house, dog baths, etc.). It’s amazing what one extra day can do. I’ve also been doing a lot of baking and have a few new recipes I want to try! Please share any bread suggestions - that's my current fixation. 

We went to the library this week (for emotional support) and I grabbed A LOT of books. I'm going to pause on my ARC reads this week to tackle this stack before they're due back. A few of them are books I received for review on NetGalley ages ago and never got to, so I will still be making some progress on my goals. 

 

Work was better this week. Friday was a little rough (I blame it on being the 13th). We didn’t have a Valentine’s Day party, but I did let them exchange cards at the end of the day. One student brought handmade cards, and another student made fun of them for it. Kids can be so mean sometimes. 😔

Speaking of Valentine’s Day, my husband got me delicious cupcakes! We ate them all in a single day. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but if you’re twisting my arm, I’d say the red velvet was best.

What I'm Watching

If you haven't watched Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, I simply cannot recommend it enough! It's quickly becoming one of my favorite anime, and one I already know I will be rewatching again in the future. The story and characters are so, so good.

I decided to also participate (unofficially) in the Beat the Backlist Challenge, so I added it to the list. I'm really happy with where I'm at goal-wise and have been enjoying most of my recent reads! I have a short work week this week, so I'm hoping that also means more time for books. ❤️

I hope you have a wonderful week! Happy reading!
