Life

As always, last week was exhausting. I came home on Friday, watched some kdrama after dinner, went to bed and slept for more than twelve hours and I still feel tired at the end of the weekend. I seriously need the weekend to last at least one day longer :)

Blog and books

Again, I haven't read anything this week :(

I promise to reply to all your comments in December (when I should have more time). I keep track of every comment I still need to reply to, so it will happen one day!

Movies and TV Shows

I started and finished watching Master's Sun, which was a fantastic TV show! Can't recommend it enough if you like ghost stories!

I also started Hyde, Jekyll and I. I'm really enjoying it. Actually these kdramas are what got me through the week in one piece.

What did you read or watch recently?

As always please leave some recommendations on what I should read or watch next!

Sunday Post #39

Life

Another exhausting week has passed, to be honest, the only things I do when I get home are preparing my lessons and going to sleep. I feel so bad about that but I don't have any time left for myself, not even during the weekend. I'm so tired all the time!

Blog and books

The horrible slump is still going strong, so I still haven't read anything this week :(

I did manage to post my October Book Haul in my Stacking the Shelves post yesterday!

Movies and TV Shows

I finished watching Don't Dare to Dream or Jealousy Incarnate on my commute to and from work, it was okay. No idea what to watch next. Any recommendations?

Stacking the Shelves: October 2018 Book Haul

Stacking the Shelves is a meme co-hosted by Reading Reality and Tynga's Reviews (the image above belongs to these blogs too). Each week bloggers share the books they got.

Since I haven't read anything at all so far in the month of November, it's safe to say I'm still in a massive reading slump. October was a little bit better which is why I do have some books to share in my October book haul!

1. Muse of Nightmares (Strange the Dreamer #2) by Laini Taylor

Strange the Dreamer was one of my favourite books last year and I can't wait to read what happens next!

2. In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom by Yeonmi Park

I have been wanting to read this book since it came out. I requested it in my local library but it was rejected because it didn't fit into the collection... I believe this will be a difficult read but I'm so there for that.

3. Wildcard (Warcross #2) by Marie Lu

Warcross was another one of my favourite reads last year and I really want to read it soon!

4. Lethal White (Cormoran Strike #4) by Robert Galbraith

I read the first three books this year and really want to read this one as well in the same year.

5. The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy (Montague Siblings #2) by Mackenzi Lee

Same as with Warcross and Strange the Dreamer, I loved the first book and this was one of my most anticipated releases. It feels awful that just now that they have been released I have to be in such a slump.

6. Book Love by Debbie Tung

This was a fun and relatable read, perfect for book lovers! I got an e-arc from Netgalley and you can find my review here.

7. Loading Penguin Hugs: Heartwarming Comics from Chibird by Jacqueline Chen

Another Netgalley e-arc, already read and enjoyed it but still need to review it.

I also got the book The Indian Corps on the Western Front when I was in the Passchendaele museum because that was partly the subject of my thesis.

Which books did you recently get? Have you read any of the books mentioned above or are you planning to? Leave your thoughts down below!

Sunday Post #38

Life

As I told you last week my Mondays are incredibly exhausting, add work meetings on Tuesday and Friday evening and that's exhausting on a whole other level. If I have to describe last week in one word it would be "tired".

Luckily, I went to a housewarming of one of my best friends and it was exactly what I needed!

Blog and books

I didn't read or blog at all. I simply did not have the time to do so :(

Movies and TV Shows

I finished watching the third season of Las Chicas del Cable and as always I enjoyed it! I also started Don't Dare to Dream or Jealousy Incarnate on my commute to and from work.

Sunday Post #37

Life

I had a lovely week off but I have been so stressed out for that last three days that I have to go to work again on Monday. I think this is due to Mondays being so exhausting and the little amount of information I have received on how the week will go.
I have always disliked Mondays but having to get up at 5:45 a.m. and only coming home at 11:30 p.m. while I have an early start on Tuesday is so exhausting. And makes me tired for the rest of the week because I can't catch up on the sleep I have lost. So, not looking forward to that at all.

I can't wait for the Christmas holidays to start!

Blog and books

I read two Netgalley e-arcs, all comics and really enjoyed them. I still need to review one of them but you can already find my review of Book Love here! I also finally posted my September wrap up and my October wrap up will be coming soon!

However, I have to add, my reading slump is still not over and is only getting worse. I hate that feeling but I am just not interested in reading right now.

Movies and TV Shows

I finished Suspicious Partner, which was fantastic and now that it's over I don't know what to do with myself anymore. If you have any kdrama recommendations on what I should watch after this gem, please let me know!

I also watched a couple of movies this week, I went to see The Nutcracker and the Four Realms and absolutely hated it. I'm so disappointed in that movie! The only way to get over it was to watch Pride and Prejudice again :) #noregrets
