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?
I am mostly recovered from being sick, but my boyfriend is still struggling a bit with some symptoms and being tired. This was a tiring week with me still recovering and my boyfriend being quite sick. Then later this week I got my period migraine, luckily it’s not too bad yet this time, but still dealing with some pain and brain fog. Then yesterday I had two migraines with aura, they don’t really hurt, but they are annoying and tiring as I can’t really do much due to my vision being disturbed by the aura. I listened to my audiobook until they went away.
I haven’t resolved my pc noise issue yet and doing anything behind my computer is annoying with the noise, so i have to wear earplugs if I want to do anything behind my computer. We did some research and found it it’s probably the fans making the noise, so I bought some new fans, now we just have to install them. Fingers crossed this resolves it as I don’t really want to and can’t afford a whole new computer.
We finally got our small fake Christmas tree set up. My boyfriends parents gave us this one and it’s smaller than the one we had in our previous house as we didn’t have space for that one. It’s quite festive and fits nicely on a corner of our table.
Besides that we got some good financial news, we applied for a financial aid thing for paying the rent a while ago and we got approved for it for next year, so this mostly resolves our financial issues. So that was great news.
I managed to finish my favorite books with neurodivergent characters post for later this month. Now I only want to see if I can do one about the books I re-read, but we’ll see if I can find the time to do that one. I also got a bit of work done for one of the authors I work for.
What did I read this week?
I’ve been in a mood to read books in series I already started and all of the books I read this week fell into hat category. Most of these were all great books, but The Unlucky Fae And The Good Luck Charm didn’t fully work for me.
I also finished The Science of Shopping which was a good nonfiction book about consumer psychology and the science of shopping.
This week I blogged about:
– Review: Mantras & Minotaurs by Ashley Bennett
– Review: The Sweet Spot by Layla Reyne
– Review: Princesses & Pastries by Laura Greenwood
– Lola’s Ramblings: Which of the 5 books I wanted to read this autumn did I read?
What to expect next week on the blog:
– Lola’s Ramblings: 5 Books I Want to Read this Winter
– Review: Divination and Deceit by Beth Dolgner
– Review: Rescuing Krampus by Robin Jo Margaret
– Lola’s Ramblings: Top 12 Ebooks of 2025
– Lola’s Ramblings: Top 9 Audiobooks of 2025
Sorry you both were not feeling well but you are on the road to feeling better.
I recently got a new computer since the other one was running really hot and the fan would make crazy noises.
I hope you have a great week, Lola! Happy Reading! oxox
It really was a rough sickness, but I am glad we’re doing better now.
That’s nice you got a new computer, it’s annoying when they get old and get noisy.
I hope you both recover quickly. Congrats on the financial aid.
Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas
Thanks! Happy holiday to you too!
All those migraines sound horrible. At least the other sick is going away for you, and hopefully your boyfriend will be better soon too. I’m guessing maybe it is the fan like you are thinking. Fingers crossed you’re able to get it fixed. And yay for the financial aid coming through! What a relief it must be to know that is going to be there now. I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

Happy holidays to your too. The migraines are a pain for sure. I am glad we’re both feeling better form the sickness as it was a rough one. We’re still trying to figure out which fan is causing the noise. The financial aid coming through was such a relief.
I’m sorry you all weren’t feeling your best; hopefully this next week will be better. So good to hear you got the financial aid. Have a wonderful holiday!

Thanks! Happy holidays to you too!
Hope you and your boyfriend start to feel better soon!
Thanks, we’re both doing better now.
Yowsers, you really got hit with the headaches this past week. I’m glad you’re on the mend and wish your boyfriend well. Woohoo on getting that financial aid for rent. Enjoy your pretty tabletop tree and this week’s books, Lola!
I am glad we’re both on the mend as that was a rough sickness. The financial aid for the rent was such a relief so we don’t have to worry about finances as much anymore. We’re really happy with the small tabletop tree and the festive vibes it brings to the house.
I hope you both are feeling better now. I get those aura migraines. They never hurt but the flashing lights are a real pain to try and see anything.
We’re both feeling better now luckily. I agree the aura migraines are annoying as there isn’t much you can do with the flashing lights in your vision. I usually get a headache afterwards, but as I had already taking painkillers for my period headache I didn’t notice anything this time.
