The Sunday Post #184

This blog post was crafted with love (by serial killers).

The Sunday Post is hosted by The Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to recap the past week, talk about next week, and share news. It’s Monday, What Are You Reading? is hosted by Book Date. I get to tell you what I’ve read recently.

In My Reading Life

Last week, I finished Bodily Harm by Margaret Atwood. It’s not my favorite Atwood book. Actually, it’s probably one of my least favorites. The main character is infuriatingly passive. She lets a bunch of bad things happen to her and then gets locked in a foreign prison because of them.

Then I listened to King of the Wind: The Story of the Godolphin Arabian by Marguerite Henry. Yes, I listened to a whole audiobook, and I only had to rewind twice because of my wandering mind. King of the Wind is a sweet story about a boy and his horse. It reminded me of Black Beauty. There are too many coincidences and not enough character development, but I probably would have adored this book as a horse-crazy child.

Right now, I’m reading Arcadia by Iain Pears. I’m going to be reading this one for a while because it’s over 600 pages. So far, it’s very confusing.

In The Rest Of My Life

Five things that made me happy last week:

1. I finally saw A Quiet Place. I liked it. I think this is the only horror world that I’d survive. I rarely talk, and I’m pretty good at creeping around. The creatures would never find me.
2. I finally watched the NHL All-Star Game. Those games are always fun. There’s lots of scoring and breakaways.
3. The blog briefly reached 700 Bloglovin’ followers. Several of them are Russian porn bots, but whatever. If you like to read, I won’t judge you for being a porn-obsessed robot.
4. It’s February, which means that my sister’s baby is due in 7 days. I’m excited to see the actual kid instead of those creepy 3D ultrasound photos.
5. It wasn’t snowing yesterday, so I went for a walk. I ended up walking 7 miles.

I’ll trade eternal love for clicks
