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:
Please excuse any delayed posts while we're in the process of moving! We finalized our lease today (WE GOT THE HOUSE), and I only had to read through the paperwork three times. 😩 There were a few minor details that needed to be changed (like the previous renter's names on the pet addendum), and then signing was a hassle when Adobe decided it didn't want to work properly. We really love the house though, and the location is good (school district has a high rating, we're near an area with a lot of hiking, not too far from the beach). It's going to be great! I'm really looking forward to it. I just wish we could snap our fingers and be there, haha. Unfortunately, we still have the moving part to do.
Surprisingly, I've been getting a lot of reading done! I don't really know how it's happening, or when I find the time, but you'll get no complaints from me. Maybe the monsters are taking longer naps? I have a few reviews I need to write, and I'm really looking forward to sharing my thoughts with you! Where the Crawdads Sing was beautiful! It's easily one of my favorite reads this year.
Other than moving, there's not a lot going on in my life right now! I've been wearing shorts and t-shirts in January, but it's Texas, so. Oh! I got another tattoo: Lady Justice.
Operation Lady Justice to address Missing and Murdered Indigenous People Crisis was an article I read that really resonated with me. The artwork was done by a Choctaw artist named DG Smalling, and I fell in love with the image and what it represented. I think Cora captured it perfectly!

What I'm currently reading:
Tweet Cute by Emma Lord
Lair of Dreams (The Diviners, #2) by Libba Bray 🎧
Jane Anonymous by Laurie Faria Stolarz
- Tweet Cute is cute. Review tomorrow!
- Lair of Dreams is spooky! I am thrilled to be back in the 20's with this amazing group of characters, and the narrator is the bees knees! Although, I am curious why Memphis hasn't been mentioned yet. He's okay, right??
- Jane Anonymous is stressful and terrifying. I keep thinking, "What if that was my daughter?" I haven't read anything by Stolarz in ages, but her writing is incredibly powerful and really punches you in the feels.
What I plan on reading next:
A Queen in Hiding (The Nine Realms, #1) by Sarah Kozloff
What I Carry by Jennifer Longo
What I'm watching:
I recently watched Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and really enjoyed it! She hears people's inner thoughts and feelings as songs that play out in front of her (there's a lot of singing and dancing). It's a really interesting concept. Also, this happened:
If you've seen Pitch Perfect you know who Skylar Astin is! This like totally made my week!
