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’m spending the rest of my Sunday night in bed with A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers. This is the second book in the Wayfarers series and I’m buddy reading it with Leslie. I’m quite behind as I have been incredibly unproductive this weekend! 🫣
What book are you spending your Sunday in bed with?

It was a very busy and productive week at the office as well as at home on my games 😂 I’ve been a bit obsessed with Dave the Diver and I look forward to every evening when I get home from work and I get to play it for a while. I admit that I’ve let it take over my life a little bit these days which means I’ve let other things fall to the wayside, but I’m enjoying the game too much to really care! 🫣 I don’t really have anything to update really—life is as it has been and there’s nothing new happening.

As I mentioned, gaming has really taken over my brain recently and the progress I’ve made on several reads has been slow, except for the dark romance reads that I ended up bingeing because that’s about all my brain could handle post-gaming in the middle of the night/early hours of the morning (thanks, insomnia). I hope that I can get a little back on track in the week ahead but let’s see… I know myself too well to make any promises! 🫣

I hope everyone’s doing well and treating themselves with care. Have a great week ahead, friends! 💜

Dave the Diver looks like a fun escape. Glad you are finding a way to unwind.

It’s a bit stressful and makes me face my fear of the deep blue ocean BUT also incredibly fun, haha. I’m loving it a lot!

Sometimes gaming is a great way to escape – I would game if I had my own Nintendo Switch (I did, but my daughter took it lol) – so sometimes I still grind for her on Animal Crossing. She has a big loan to pay down 😅. Actually that sounds like something I might just do today instead of read. Hope you have a great week Dini!

Haha, gotta get those big loans on AC paid! 😂 I started a new game last year and then I gave up cos I was earning too slowly and kept missing too many days, haha! If you got around to gaming, I hope it was nice and relaxing. Have a great week ahead too, Yolanda!

I did do it for a little bit until I got tired of harvesting all the fruits on her island lol but at least I paid some of the loan down! 😂

I feel like after the first initial high of ACNH, the fun starts to feel a bit like a chore, especially if you’re trying to build up a new island from scratch without any of the riches carried over from another save 😂

Oh for sure! I could never restart I think, I’m too lazy to do it all again lol.

Sometimes I have to take a break from all the reading and blogging. I’ll take a week and just watch trash reality tv or binge watch a whole show on Netflix that I haven’t gotten to. I did that a couple weeks ago and it was SO nice. I got behind and I’m scrambling now, but it was nice! I hope you have a lovely week, Dini!! No rush on the book ❤

Yeah, that’s true. It’s not that I don’t want to be reading but I don’t want to read more than I want to game at the moment. I guess the mindlessness is needed! 🤭 Thanks for being so understanding. I’ve started the read though and I’m enjoying it a lot. I love learning about Pepper and seeing how Sidra outside of the ship! I still have a ways to catch up to you but I hope to get there soon 💜 Hope everyone stays healthy and you have a great week ahead, dear!

It’s good we have other hobbies!! Don’t worry, I’m trying to finish up the month and struggling to get through my last reads in. haha I forgot, I signed up to do a review today for another book. I started it last night and I’m 63%. Hoping I can finish and get that review in today. lol. Thank you, I hope you have a wonderful week, Dini!! ❤
