With the Weekly Book Wrap-Up, I give you a bit of an insight into all the new books that have arrived at my place. No matter if I won a giveaway, got approved for a reviewer´s copy, an ARC, or just bought one myself. Everything that I add to my shelves, in what way ever and read during the past week or am still reading, I will write about it. And maybe I tell you a bit about the upcoming things on Inkvotary, that is if I don´t forget it and have something to share with you *smile*

I am linking up with Caffeinated Reviewer and Reading Reality and hope you´ll have fun reading it and maybe get the one or the other book inspiration.

Sunday Post #192

My week started with a restless night and rain. For whatever reason, I was too depressed to do anything at all. Such days happen …

Tuesday a walk to the supermarket was in order. Bought some fruits and vegetables. Other than that, it was an uneventful day, and Wednesday and Thursday were kinds of the same. So I won´t bother you with details.

On Friday my schedule changed. After another sleepless night, I went for some Black Friday sales and found a pair of winter boots. Usually, I hate doing that, but I was surprised to see that I was almost alone in the store beside the staff. At 9 am. Doesn´t happen very often … After that, I went to the supermarket, which is only a few meters away, and got everything I wanted for the weekend. Back at home, I read and finished a debut thriller by a Finnish author and went to bed early. The warm and cold weather outside is exhausting. At least for me.

The next morning, Saturday, I was - again - up early. I went for a long walk, got some errands done, and enjoyed just doing nothing snuggled up in a warm blanket while sipping a cup of hot tea. I read a BBC article written by Jenny Hill titled “Ukraine war: How Germany ended reliance on Russian gas” from Thursday. Guess, my good relationship with the BBC has ended now. Don´t throw rocks while being in a glass house yourself.

My Sunday, today, started with me being up early. Again? I decorated my Advents plate, enjoyed an early breakfast, and wrote some reviews. Taking care of social media kept me busy most of the morning. I am still not sure what to do with Twitter since it seems that Mastodon is way too complicated to handle here in Germany. I am still trying to find out how I could register there. So far, no solution found yet… Now, that everything is done and updated, I think a nice cup of tea will be a good choice. And yes, for a cup of hot espresso it is definitely too late *sigh*



How was your week? Stay safe and healthy.



Happy reading

  1. Mastodon was only difficult until I figured out the server I wanted and got to it before signing up. It's barely started to be active though. Hive.social is another popular one with book people but I haven't even looked at it. I hope you have a good week!

    1. It looks as if I need to go on a server abroad, like the UK, US or Australia. Here in Germany the servers which exist are so strict with their rules about posting book posts like I do currently on Twitter, that I don´t think that I can register there *sigh*

    1. I did enjoy the weekend, indeed. Thank you. If the weather stays as cold and foggy as it has been today, the rest of the week will be one I rather enjoy indoors *smile*

  3. Hope you're having a good weekend! I'm not sure about Mastodon- I've heard good and bad things so I'm just waiting.

    Have a great new week!

    1. Mastodon seems the one alternative to Twitter nowadays. At least that´s what I heard. So far I haven´t done anything ´cause it doesn´t feel right. At least not at the moment.

  4. Looks like you had a whole week of early mornings - that's my normal. I work at 7a so I'm up every morning by at least 5a. I like early mornings except in the winter when it's so darn cold and DARK! I don't really use Twitter and don't know anything about Mastadon so I'm no help..... Hope you enjoy your new book.

    1. Some years back, when I had the first shift my clock went off 5:30 am. And I took the bus an hour later to avoid the students which could be a loud chatterbox. During the summer it is wonderful. During fall and winter not so much...

  5. Is SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) an issue for you? I have a friend that struggles with it, it might be worth looking in to.
    With Mastadon, you can register with any instance. This might help you find one https://instances.social/ or one of these https://joinbookwyrm.com/instances/

    Wishing you a great reading week

    1. I have a myoma and due to that I am a bit hormone-driven at the moment. But thank you for the SAD information. I will ask my doctor about it. And also thank you for the Mastodon information. That link is for sure helpful.
