Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [314]

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 A Man for Mrs. Claus. Now, I know this cover’s illustration is… A little raunchy, which might lead people to think that this is all smut erotica and not a contemporary romance. I’m pleasantly surprised to find that, so far (36%), it’s not smutty at all. There’s plenty of flirting and innuendo, but the “The Bachelorette with Mrs. Claus” vibe is well-written, sexy, and a lot of fun. I’m totally here for it!

I’ve got three reads on at the minute. Better the Devil hasn’t really been holding my attention, Razorblade Tears is making me a bit anxious (although it’s so good and readable!), and so I started a historical romance last night and it’s actually making me want to read, lol. So I think I might spend more time with Unveiled this Sunday night!

Hello, friends! I’ve found myself in a little situation where I don’t know what to read next. Sound familiar from 2025? The mood remains the same and it’s driving me a little batty now… 🙃 I haven’t been reading much lately, and I even have reads that I’m meant to be reading but just not latching on to. Here are the books I’m thinking of trying right now:

*^{Violet Thistlewaite is Not A Villain Anymore by Emily Krempholtz, Guard in the Garden by Z.S. Diamanti, Empire of Shadows by Jacquelyn Benson}*

Have you read any of these books or if you have them on your TBR too, which would you pick up first? What book are you spending your Sunday in bed with?

I’ve spent the majority of my Sunday sitting in a salon chair continuing Royal Assassin, and I think I’ll spend the rest of my Sunday night with it too! I’ve reached the halfway mark now and this has been a tougher read than the first book, but still good. It’s definitely a book I’m enjoying reading slowly, and what’s even better is how surprisingly easy I’ve been finding it to keep all the characters and events in order, when normally I would’ve forgotten half the details after not picking it up for so long. It’s a win in my book! 😂

Unexpectedly, I seem to have found myself in a slump? I’ve picked up several books over the past few days and nothing has really leaped out at me. I do have one read that’s been ongoing for over a week, and I’m enjoying it, but it’s feeling a bit slow thanks to the anxious ‘end-of-year’ mood that has crept over me. I’m feeling jittery and incapable of focusing, so I’m having a hard time sticking with anything. Here’s what I’ve got going on:

*^{Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb, A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy & Sierra Simone, Death in the Spires by KJ Charles, Better Not Pout by Maren Moore}*

I’m about 30% in Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb, and again although I’m enjoying it, I’m not making heaps of progress very quickly even if I do manage to read at least 2 chapters a day… I keep picking up and putting down A Merry Little Meet Cute, Death in the Spires and Better Not Pout, and while I like each one, my mind feel settled when I read them either—it’s so hard to focus! 🫣 I don’t know what other reads to try… 😮‍💨

I’ve got a few reads on at the minute but I think I’ll spend my Sunday night in bed reading The Impossible Fortune. Leslie and I are wrapping up this buddy read and it has been such fun to read this series together 🙂 It’s been so easy to slip back into this fifth book. Returning to these characters feels like pulling on an old and comfy blanket over your shoulders and settling into a fluffy cosy chair by the fire. It may not be winter in the tropics, but the weather has been grey and stormy, so just as fitting! ⛈️

I’m spending the rest of my Sunday night in bed reading Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb. I feel like Hobb’s books are classics in the fantasy genre. I’ve been seeing a lot of people talking about The Realm of the Elderlings series lately, so yesterday, as I was languishing in bed, I decided to pick this up on a whim. I can’t say it was love at first sight, but at one point I suddenly realised that whenever I put it down, I couldn’t wait to pick it back up again. It’s giving me slow burn “big feelings” feels—if you know what I mean—and I’m both excited and terrified to be starting this journey! 👀

I’ve spent the majority of my Sunday with Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel. I picked this up on a whim last night when I couldn’t decide what to read and it’s… not at all what I remembered it to be! 😂 First of all, how on earth did I read this when I was still in like Year 6 or something? While the cover and the memory of reading this always makes it one of my first picks when people ask about “books that remind you of your childhood”, it’s certainly not surprising that I don’t remember anything about it. I’m certain most of it would’ve probably gone over my head! I also had no recollection of this being so sexual? But yeah, wow, it’s very much so. LOL!

I’ll be spending the rest of my Sunday in bed reading The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah. I’ve been enjoying this so much and I’m now about 60% through. Could I even finish this tonight? Possibly! These characters are all very intriguing and their journey through the desert very engaging. I’m very keen to see where the story goes!

I spent most of my Sunday in bed finishing The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman. This was my favourite in the series so far, and not because of the mystery was extra mysterious and the shenanigans extra shenanigan-y. It was because of the characters, who at this point feel like real people and old friends, and what they experience in this book. It made me realise that while the mysteries are always fun, it’s the characters, their wit, wry humour, and overall arcs that bring me back every time. They are such wonderful people and this one really whacked me over the head with all the emotion! 😭 Yes, I did cry. I ugly cried for… A good chunk of this!
