Sunday Post #145

 

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted here @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer (image above belongs to @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer). It’s a chance to share news ~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. 

I am also linking The Sunday Salon hosted by Deb Nance of Readerbuzz where bloggers discuss what they are reading and other bookish topics.

Life

I finally had two weeks at the seaside, I still miss being able to travel to different countries but I was happy to relax in that of my own for now as well. I still don't feel as relaxed as I normally would be during summer break, but a lot has happened which makes this understandable I guess.

Tomorrow, my potter's wheel will finally arrive. I can't wait to start working with clay again! I'm a beginner but it so fun creating something, it relaxes me and clears my mind.

Blog and books

I'm currently reading Anna Karenina, and I'm enjoying this masterpiece so much! I always have trouble putting it down. The characters are written so vividly and in such detail, I feel like I know them all.

Movies and TV Shows

I watched the first episode of Loki, it was good, but I personally don't have the necessary streaming platform yet, so I don't know when I'll watch the rest.

I'm hoping to watch some Anna Karenina adaptions after I finish the book. I have seen some of them ages ago but I might compare them to each other and the book as well. Would that interest you?

What did you read or watch recently?

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

1. The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

I've heard really great things about this one! Can't wait to read it!

2. The City of Brass (The Daevabad Trilogy #1) by S.A. Chakraborty

Although, I know now that I'm going to be incredibly busy the coming weeks, I'm going to attempt to read at least one of these books! I have made a selection of tomes that I own and might read. I like to have a big TBR, so I can choose which books to read according to my mood. The readathon starts November 18th and will end December 1st. During this time you’ll have to read books over 500 pages.

1. Daughter of the Forest (Sevenwaters #1) by Juliet Marillier
