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 Sunday in bed reading This Inevitable Ruin by Matt Dinniman. This is the seventh DCC book and Leslie and I are continuing our buddy read of it. It only took me until Ch11 to shed my first tears (but this time happy ones!), lol. This book makes me want to rage against the machine, which is also very apt for everything that’s happening in Indonesia right now. 🙃
What book are you spending your Sunday in bed with?
It’s been a week of being ridiculously sick, but it’s also been a sad and disheartening last few days here in Indonesia. There has been a lot of civil unrest that started with protests earlier in the week, which escalated to police violence, a very public and horrifying death, and so much anger and distrust from the people as a whole. I don’t bring a lot of politics into my space but it’s been a very distracting last few days. Its made me sad and mad at the state of my country and how the people in power can care so little for those they claim to work for, even going so far as to publicly mock them for demanding the bare and basic minimum to survive.
