We’re back with another Sundays in Bed With… meme! This meme dares to ask you what book has been in your bed this morning and is hosted by Midnight Book Girl. Come share what book you’ve spent your time reading in bed or wish you had time to read today!

I’ve spent much of my Sunday with Open Water. It’s a short 160-pages but I’ve taken time to annotate it. It’s an absolutely stunning piece of writing that’s at turns achingly tender and heartbreaking. This is a book I know I will return to and get more out of with each read.
What book are you spending your Sunday in bed with?

Was it just me or did this week pass in a bit of a blur? I returned to work this week and it was nice to get back to the office rhythm. After a year of having no formal head of office, we finally have a new one joining us from tomorrow! I hope this brings more structure to our work from now.
Next week we’ll be having a mid-week interruption for our Indonesian Presidential election. I’m honestly feeling a bit down about what I’m 90% sure will be the outcome but there’s still a bit of hope, I guess?

I’ve slowed down on my reading and blogging a lot this past week as I’ve been feeling very indecisive and struggled to pinpoint what exactly I want to read next. 🤦🏻♀️
ICYMI here’s what I posted this week:
- ARC Review: Delicates by Brenna Thummler
- Let’s Talk Bookish: On Being an Indecisive Reader
- ARC Review: The Reason I Married Him by Meghan Quinn
- #WWWWednesday: 7 February 2024
- #TopTenTuesday: Quick Reads When Time is Short
- ARC Review: The Summer Playbook by Jaqueline Snowe


I really hope you’re all doing okay and treating yourself with care. Let’s have a great week ahead! 💜

That is a long time without dedicated leadership. Fingers crossed the new person fits in well.

I know. It was really rough going but the bureaucracy means nothing can ever get done quickly or efficiently when needed! 🤦🏻♀️ Thanks, Sam. I hope you have a great week ahead!

Having a head of office should make a big difference. It’s so much easier to work within structured expectations. I can’t wait to see more about your current read!

I would recommend Open Water if you enjoy literary fiction, Tessa! It was so gorgeously written and so deeply emotional. Goodness, I’m an emotional reader but I really cried buckets at the end! 😂

It has sadly gone the way I predicted it would, which is pretty sad, lol. I guess we’ll see what the future holds!

I’m a bit down too but as long as the results are not called in yet, there’s still hope!!!
