Today is Sunday time to look back in the rearview mirror and talk about my week . I am linking up to the Sunday Post hosted for years by Kimberly@caffeinatedreviewer .
In my private life
Happy Sunday!
As announced, this week I was off work and it was bliss!
I am feeling a kinship to bears and am determined to hibernate as much as I can. That means sleeping a lot! More than 8 hours sleep every past nights, that’s a feat for me!
The weather has been so gloomy since October that everyone is feeling tired, deprived of light so I am really doing…nothing.
That being said, I successfully unhauled books with twenty books sold at a low price at my local second hand bookshop and two complete special sets (Zodiac Academy from The Bookish Box and From Blood and Ash from Illumicrate) successfully sold in just a few hours on the web!
I wish I had Belle’s library alas I have limited space on my bookshelves and must make room for new arrivals!
As usual, I am leaving you with a reel and for once, it’s an aesthetic reel for a book I devoured in one sitting this week: Bride by Ali Hazelwood! I adored that book so much!
On the blog this week (click on the graphic to read the post)
I have read four books this week (I’ll finish a fifth tonight!) but posted two reviews and a challenge warp-up!
Fathomfolk has a lot to like and an incredible world building!
The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett is a HUGE crush!
And then it was time to wrap-up my 2023 Audiobook Challenge! I did it guys! I listened to 61 books instead of 50…
Thanks for reading!
Sophie
Unhauling books is a great feeling! More room for more new books, lol!
Exactly!!! :-)
I’m glad to hear that you had such a restful time off from work!
Thank you Suzanne!
I agree that winters are for hibernation, haha!
Right???
Happy to hear you are having a good week off and enjoying some books!
Anne – Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
I would love to hibernate but I have kids and well that pretty much explains it all doesn’t it.
It does! ;-)
I also try to unhaul books at the local library sale here twice per year, Sophie. But I’m so behind on my own books that I haven’t parted with any for a few years now!
I don’t know how you do that Teri! My shelves would explode LOL
It’s been gloomy here too! I totally want to hibernate!
I think we are all secretly envious of bears Greg!
I LOVED Bride! Such a great book! I would love to catch up on sleep. The last time I had time off from work, I was up earlier than my usual. Have a great week!
Thank you Carole!
I want to hibernate as well. Unfortunately, I’m weaning myself of a med right now which is causing sleeplessness. :( I hope you have a great week!

Oh no I am sorry!
I want to hibernate as well!! I’m starting Bride soon and very excited!
I hope you’ll love it Samantha!
I’ve been really tired too this week!
It seems a common complaint Caro!
Yes, I can relate to bears, too! Nice to have the week off and congrats on nailing your audiobook challenge!
Way to go on the unhauling. I really need to finish some physical books I”ve started and put down so I can pass them on! Bride looks amazing! It’s been gloomy here in the Chicago area too.
I think it’s been gloomy nearly everywhere except probably the south emisphere!
Thank you Rachel!
I think the last time I slept more than 5 hours was when I had the flu in 2005. It was rough. Glad to hear you are enjoying your time off and so productive too. Great job unhauling!
You mean 8 hours Sam right? Because if you don’t sleep more than 5 hours I don’t know how you do that!
It’s been years since I got 8 hours.
OMG Must get my hands on Bride! Thanks for the heads up.
I’m incapable of unhauling. I currently have 6 large plastic tubs full of books stacked in my lounge room because there is no where else to put them right now.
Wishing you a great reading week
I can’t live with books aphazardly stacked everywhere LOL
Unhauling is such a tough activity, but I’m glad it went well for you! :D
It’s always heartbreaking indeed!
I think that Belle’s library is the (not so) secret dream of every bookworm out there! And I am glad you enjoyed your time off!!
I think so too Susy!
I’m glad you enjoyed your time off! I badly need to unhaul books. I ran out of shelf space a year ago, and they’re just stacked everywhere.
I can’t live with books everywhere, my husband would complain too much LOL
