The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
It’s a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
What happened this week?
This week didn’t go as smoothly. Ever since last week’s visit to the dentist I’ve been very low on energy again and feeling the full effect of my burnout. I didn’t get a lot done, took a lot of naps and barely kept up with writing reviews for the book I finished. There was so much more I had wanted to get done this week, but I just wasn’t able to. And it feels even worse after having a bit more energy last week and now being back to so little energy. I know it takes time to recover, but it’s frustrating.
Work wise I did what I could to get a book blitz sign post live for a Middle Grade book. I had wanted to have live early this week, but didn’t manage that and finally got it live late this week.
What did I read this week?
Murder on Devil’s Pond has a great mystery that kept me guessing, but the reveal felt a bit anti-climactic and everything else about the book fell flat for me.
Trolled was another solid read in this series, I like the action and the banter, some interesting developments plot wise. I am getting a bit frustrated with the back and forth romance wise and want to lock up the main couple so they can talk things through.
Dating a Golden Goddess was a great romance read with a bit of steam and some mythology/ paranormal. I really liked the couple and they were just so great together.

Sorry to hear it was a rough week! Going to the dentist can take a lot out of a person.
Where Starlight Burns sounds great!

I hope this week is a better one, going to the dentist really took a lot out of me.
Where Starlight Burns was so good, it was a cozy scifi romance.
Sorry this week wasn’t as good. But at least you’re realizing that it might be that way and hopefully that will help you keep it going the right way. At least you had a couple good books this week that you enjoyed! I hope this week will be better for you.

I hope this week is a better one and I can relax a bit more and regain some of my energy. It definitely helped to have some good books.
oh I understand that frustration and hope this week is better. It seems like things should just slowly improve but they seem more up and down. I wish you an upward trend this week.

It definitely feels more like up and down at the moment than an upward trend, it doesn’t help that every time I am doing better something tiring or stressful seems to happen.
Hopefully this week is much better and you’ll get caught up on your rest and get some things done off your list.
Thanks! I hope so too.
I feel you on the burnout! Sorry you’ve been going through it. These books look great. Thanks for sharing!

I just hope things will get better soon and I’ll have some more energy to get things done.
I understand the feeling, it’s not fun when you get a week of low energy after the high of a productive week previously. I’m still learning to allow myself to rest without getting all anxious about everything I’m not doing. I hope you feel better soon, but enjoy your rest in the meantime.

It really is a struggle to relax and rest while not getting anxious about the things you feel you should be doing. I just hope things will start moving in an upward trend soon when it comes to my energy.
Hopefully this next week will be better. It’s stressful going to the dentist or doctors office so I can understand being low on energy after that.

Thanks! I hope this week is better. Going to the dentist or doctor is so stressful.
