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 spend the rest of my Sunday in bed reading Voidwalker by S. A. MacLean. This is a buddy read with Chris and it’s a first-time read for me and a re-read for him. Illumicrate is coming out with an SE for the sequel soon, so I wanted to read the first before deciding whether to get the second. I’m about world-building still trips me up at times and I have some mixed thoughts about the FMC, but overall, I’m really enjoying it. Things went sideways very quickly and have continued to get worse for our MCs, so I’m keen to see where it goes! 😂
What book do you have in bed with you this Sunday?
Not much happened this week. I was meant to renew my passport on Thursday but due to an error/misunderstanding on my part, my appointment was cancelled and I didn’t find out until I got there because I thought everything was sorted beforehand. Silly me and a very good lesson learned to not be so lackadaisical when it comes to important things like this. I would’ve been royally screwed for my birthday trip in May but thankfully, I was able to apply for the express option (and also paid double!) that gets the passport done in a day, and I’ve booked (and confirmed!) an appointment for next Friday. 😮💨
I’ve been feeling rather stressed, emotionally overwhelmed, frazzled, and somewhat restless recently so I decided on a whim to purchase a colouring book. I forced myself to take a break from gaming and I started colouring last night while watching/listening to a lot of YouTube, specifically: Cold Trace — True Crime Stories, Dish Podcast, and a dive into Cormac McCarthy’s ‘secret’. Here are the two scenes that I finished (not sure why I made that umbrella green) and the blank ones are what I’m eyeing to do next but I’m not sure which to do. Which would you choose to colour?
ICYMI here’s what I posted this week:
- Let’s Talk Bookish: Casting in Adaptations
- Monthly Wrap-Up: March 2026
- #WWWWednesday: 8 April 2026
- #TopTenTusday: It’s in the “Q”!
- Blog Tour Review: The Wicked Sea by Jordan Stephanie Gray

That’s so bad about the passport! But at least you found a way to fix it afterwards, which is great 😄
The coloring book looks super cute! I’ve seen a lot of similar ones circulating on TikTok and I was considering buying it for the exact same purpose – to let my eyes rest a bit 😅 Do tell if it works or not! P.S. I’d color the bedroom because it looks more spring-y than the Ice Cream shop 😄

I hate whenever I have to make appointments for things like passport renewal, because you wait so long for them. Sorry about that missunderstaing, but luckily your trip next month won’t be affected since you got that other appointment.
I have been meaning to get back into coloring books as well, since they help me relax, but all the ones I have are more about mossaics and similar things, which I’ve come to find out I do not like, for I am terrible at deciding what colors to chose. One like yours, which is so cute, is better because I do not need to think that much about what color to get!
Since you put the ice cream parlor first, start with that one and then the bedroom, so you can have both! I will check out the videos you’ve shared, because I want to get into true crime, so those might help.

Boo for the mix up, but glad you were able to get your passport renewed. I know it was double the price, but it’s worth knowing you are set for your trip.

Yep after my heck up I was just glad that I was able to still sort it out, even if I had to pay double 😂 Lesson definitely learned to not let myself slack off when I’m usually not so lax with these administrative things, lol!

Glad that you got your passport sorted although really annoying that you had to pay double.
I really need to read Voidwalker again. I tried it last year but was so tired that my brain couldn’t really get on with it but I think that I need to give it another chance
Enjoy your colouring

I’m so annoyed that I made the mistake that led me to paying double just to get it on time, but I guess the upside is that I at least won’t have to deal with it again for another 10 years! 😂
Also, I struggled initially with Voidwalker because the world-building was like a lot and quite confusing. It took me several repeat reads of sections to get it and even then, I think I’m not getting it entirely, I’m just rolling with it. The banter is making this a lot of fun 🙂 If you do pick it up again, I hope you find more success with it!

I had to renew my passport last year and they changed EVERYTHING about processing it! It was so annoying! Luckily, I made my appointment during one of my days off and I had taken the picture at CVS, so everything went quick. They should bring back the walk-in option.
As for Voidwalker, I still need to read that book.
