Sunday Post #508: It's Been a Minute...

Welcome to The Sunday Post hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer, where I talk about what is going on in life and the blog, and show you all the bookish things I got that week!

Monthly Wrap-Up: August 2026

I had a really good reading month. It doesn't feel like it because I only read 4 books (1630 pages, which is about 600 pages more than the previous month), but I did!

• 2 were full-length novels, and 2 were manga
• All 4 were part of a series
• I finished 1 series
• 1 book I purchased, 2 were from the library, and 1 from Netgalley
• 3 were finished copies, and 1 ARC
• 3 were physical books, and 1 ebook
• 1 was 4.5⭐, and 3 were 4⭐
• All 4 were traditionally published
• All 4 were by previously read authors
• 2 were YA, and 2 were adult
• All 6 were fiction
• 2 were action, 1 was fantasy sci-fi, and 1 was sci-fi horror

End of Summer Readathon: Day 5

I finished reading The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook yesterday and I really enjoyed it! I finished it on the way to Seattle, where I got car sick the moment the road got curvy 😆 But I finished it!

Sunday - 11am
We didn't stay in Seattle for very long. We just dropped off my parents at the airport, then we went out to dinner at this ramen place my brother likes, and it was SO good!! My tongue still hurts from where I burned it with the first sip of broth, but it was worth it 😆

We got home at nearly midnight, so I went straight to sleep and didn't update yesterday's post. But today is a new day, and I think I'll be starting Elantris!

I'll be back later once I've done something productive with my day 😆 (I might go to my local bookstore to see if they have the 4th Dungeon Crawler Carl book 👀)

Sunday - 5pm
I have made it to chapter 6 of Elantris and I'm really enjoying it! It's such an interesting world!

 

I've also been working on my embroidery again, since I didn't get a chance yesterday, being car sick and all 😂 And I didn't go to the bookstore like I wanted. Maybe tomorrow.

Sunday - 10pm
I didn't read any more of my book, but I did finish this embroidery project! 😆

And honestly, I think I'm going to end the readathon here. It's been fun, but I also don't want to push it since I've been in a perpetual reading slump for months now😅

Let me know what you've been reading this Summer!

End of Summer Readathon: Day 4

The goal today is to finish The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook. I have just over 100 pages left, so it's totally doable. (Also, I just emailed a therapist and I don't know why it took me so long 😭 We'll see what happens.)

Saturday - 10am
Last night I fell asleep while I was playing Tomodachi Life, so this morning I played a little but more. And then THIS happened:

😆 Anyway, I'm gonna go get ready for the day, then I'm going to read. I'll be back with an update later on!

Saturday - 4pm
Okay, I have finished a crochet project and read 70 pages! Look at how cute that little ghost is! 😭 He glows in the dark too!

 

Some last minute plans this evening... I'm going to Seattle 😆 Not for anything fun, unfortunately. We're taking our parents to the airport. It's about 3 hours from here, so I'm going to take my cross-stitching with me and my book because I'm almost done with it! We'll see how it goes, though, because I get car sick sometimes 😅 I don't know when I'll be back tonight, so I may or may not do another update. Idk. We'll see. Lol. (Also, the therapist replied back, which I wasn't expecting because it's Saturday, but I guess we're really doing this thing!)

Let me know what you've been reading this Summer!
