The Sunday Post

Happy Sunday! I hope you are all doing well and enjoying your weekend.

The Sunday Post is a news meme created by Caffeinated Reviewer. I'm also linking up with Sunday Salon at ReaderBuzz. I will be posting on the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. Today’s post is a recap of 2025 and my upcoming plans for 2026.

January's weather has been positively glacial. We've had snow, we've had sub-zero temperatures, we've had everything but penguins. But according to the weatherman that seems to be going on all across the country right now. If you live in a state where snowy winters are not the norm: drive slowly if you have to go out, take aspirin for your back after shoveling, and curl up under a blanket with a good book and a hot chocolate when your day is over.

I almost didn't post anything today. My blog has been inactive for a month. I normally do something in between reviews, and I've never really gone a whole month without posting a review unless something major happening in life. I really haven't got much bookish news to share, but you deserve an explanation as to my whereabouts.

I've been reading a book called Alchemised by SenLinYu. It's a 1030-page long monster and I'm over 800 pages in. The size of the book isn't really influencing the time I spend reading it; I find it reads like a racecar, full speed ahead. I was doing pretty good until the 800 mark. This is going to be the craziest thing I've said about a book but I'm afraid to know how it ends. It's a brutal and dark fantasy and I want it to have a good ending so badly that I've started struggling to flip pages because there's the chance it might not. Isn't that a little nuts? Being afraid of an ending?

As scary as it is, I will get there, page by page.
