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’ll be spending the rest of my night in bed continuing to read A Master of Djinn by P. Djèli Clark. I’ve only read a novella by Clark years ago and I completely forgot how humorous his writing can be. At 30%, I’m enjoying this steampunk mystery set in an alternate Egypt (and world) where magic exists. At times all the world-building can get a bit overwhelming and the pace has been a bit up-and-down, but I’m curious to know what’ll happen next!
What book are you spending your Sunday in bed with?

Well, this week did not go at all how I planned because mid-week I got hit with a vicious bout of food poisoning that knocked me out for two days. 😭 I still don’t even know what I ate that did me dirty but since I was able to stomach anything on Friday, I’ve been extra cautious and have stuck with plain rice and really dry scrambled eggs. 😅 Oof, it was not a fun time and my body is still feeling the soreness and on top of that, it’s shark week (randomly, not scheduled, cos my body doesn’t do that, lol). I guess you can say that things haven’t been great since Tuesday night… But on the up side, in between bouts of porcelain god praising and fitful naps, I managed to square in quite a bit of reading. 😮💨 Plus, I actually managed to WFH half the day on Friday afternoon so, go me!

My blogging obviously got disrupted this week, despite some (unfinished) planned posts that I had lined up. I tried to catch up a bit yesterday but wound up mostly gaming (I’m obsessed with Moonlighter!), reading, and sleeping! Oops. Let’s hope next week is better!
ICYMI here’s what I posted this week:
- Let’s Talk Bookish: Hyped Books
- #TopTenTuesday: Books I’d Like to Re-Read
- June 2025 Community Posts!

Thanks, I’m definitely doing much better now although I’m still being cautious and taking it easy with whatever I eat. And still no coffee yet but it’s for the best 🥲

So sorry to hear you were sick, Dini. I’ve never had food poisoning, but I’ve heard it is bad. I’m glad you are doing better and got some reading time in.
