Happy Holidays, bookwyrms! At first we were going to slack from this week’s wrap-up like last week, but then decided against it.
Besides, you must be wondering if we came out in one piece or not. 😂
Also if you’re a book blogger who started in 2017 or 2018, you can sign up for Novel Newcomers! 😁
This Week’s Posts
I posted my second review at The Arts STL of Return to Dyatlov Pass! I’m reading too fast so my reviews are getting shuffled over there. 😂
Then again, the last time I posted was in April.
Book Haul
I thought I behaved but I didn’t? I mean, I didn’t BUY books…
- #Moonstruck by Sariah Wilson – Kindle Unlimited Buddy Read with Sam! Now if it’s my turn to get This Mortal Coil… Ha, I’m still on hold.
- Golden Curse by M. Lynn – Someone got cursed, all right.
I’m really taking advantage of that deal.
Reading Life
I started and finished #Moonstruck and Golden Curse this week, although the latter is a DNF. 😔
I’m still reading Red Winter by Annette Marie, but I’m struggling. 😭 Meanwhile, The Girl King by Mimi Yu is distracting me a little. Just a little.
Real Life
DID WE COME OUT IN ONE PIECE?
That’s a very important question. 🤔
Thankfully, we did and we’re on break! Productivity may or may not happen.
Let’s talk, bookwyrms! What are you up to for the holidays or break?
Sophia started blogging in February 2012 for the hell of it and is surprisingly still around. She has a GIF for nearly everything, probably listens to too much K-Pop and is generally in an existential crisis of sorts (she's trying her best). More of her bookish reviews and K-Pop Roundups can be found at The Arts STL.
If you enjoy her posts or found them helpful, consider tipping on KoFi!
Greg says
Glad you guys came out in one piece. 🙂 And Annette Marie sounds really familiar- I haven’t read her stuff but I think she came recommended by a blogger somewhere. Hopefully that one picks up for you.
Hope you have a great holiday break!!
Sophia says
I know Di from Book Reviews by Di LOVES Annette Marie, so it might have been her? I love her Guild Codex series, though!
Jovita @ Inky Impressions says
Did you enjoy #Moonstruck? I thought it was cute, I’m looking forward to the third book. Enjoy your holiday Sophia.
Sophia says
I personally enjoyed #Starstruck better, unfortunately, but I’m looking forward to the third book as well!
lilistar says
Moonstruck sounds so fun and cute did you like it? Getting through the week is always an achievement especially near Christmas time!
Sophia says
I wasn’t a huge fan of #Moonstruck unfortunately! I loved the first book, #Starstruck, so I highly recommend reading it.
Evelina @ AvalinahsBooks says
I think we are like so little time away from actually surviving 2018 as well 😀
Sophia says
Oh, that’s true as well. A miraculous survival.
Nicci @ Sunny Buzzy Books says
Enjoy your break and I hope you have a lovely Christmas!
Sophia says
Thanks, Nicci, I hope you had a great Christmas!
Angela says
Congrats on finishing the semester! Enjoy your break and happy holidays!
Sophia says
Thanks, Angela, you too!
vvb says
Happy holidays and reading 🙂
Sophia says
Thanks!
Sam@wlabb says
Glad to hear you made it out in one piece, but sorry to hear you are struggling with your reads. I hope you enjoy your holiday break. I wish I had one too.
Sophia says
Aww, I hope you get a break soon, Sam! <3
Michelle says
The Golden Curse looks good! Contemplating to buy a copy but I have so many books that I have yet to finish reading at home.
Enjoy your break!
Sophia says
I didn’t enjoy Golden Curse, unfortunately. It was way too slow for me. 🙁
Sophie says
Enjoy your break Sophia!!!
Sophia says
Thanks, Sophie!
Gayathri says
I am glad you come out in one piece, that is an achievement for sure! Happy holidays.
Sophia says
Haha, yes! Thanks, Gayathri!
Samantha says
Productivity doesn’t have to happen when you are break!! Rest and relax! Have a great holiday.
Sophia says
I wish I could fully relax! I do work though, but I’ll definitely try to relax throughout. (Not likely, I hate doing nothing at all – I get antsy.)
Anne says
Yay for the holiday break! Happy Holidays! I hope you find some great reads and have time to relax. Anne – Books of My Heart
Sophia says
Thanks, Anne! I’ll try to find some time to relax. Reading wise I WISH I had better luck, haha.
Laura Thomas says
Enjoy your break and have a very Merry Christmas:)
Sophia says
Thanks, Laura! I hope you had a great Christmas!
RO says
Perfect post for the holiday, and glad you got a little bit of reading in. For me, it’s been hit or miss, but I’ll try again later today. Good for you for being a break for a little while, and Merry Christmas to you! Hugs…RO
Sophia says
Aww, I hope you got some good reads in though! Hope you had a great Christmas!
Noel says
Things always seem to get more crazy and hectic around the holidays 🙁
Sophia says
I agree! 🙁
ShootingStarsMag says
Yay for making it through and being on break. That’s fantastic!
-Lauren
Sophia says
Thanks, Lauren, it is!
Kaleena @ Reader Voracious Blog says
Hmmm it looks like you might have survived unscathed, fancy that! Also where is my trophy for forcing you to figure out your post likes?!
Sophia says
OH YEAH. I FORGOT ABOUT THAT TROPHY. *notes this in Trello for the next one* We’re going to rememdy that first wrap up of 2018.
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction says
Hope you enjoy your break and that productivity actually happens (or not, if you feel like slacking off). 🙂
Sophia says
Haha, maybe I WILL slack a little. 😉 I hope you had a great holiday, Nicole!
Sophia says
Oh no! I hope you’ll find shoes that fit perfectly in time for the new year! Did you finish your shopping though?
Sophia says
GOOD MORNING ROBERTA. The inside joke continues, of course, and it will continue to do so next year. We’re not going to stop haunting each other even in 2019, so don’t count your lovely face on it.
That wrist pain is still there… who knows how long.
