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 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!
What book are you spending your Sunday in bed with?

This week’s topic is:
Reading Non-Fiction
Prompts: Happy Non-Fiction November! Do you read non-fiction? If you do read it, what do you love about it? What are your favourite categories to read about (i.e. true crime, historical, memoirs, self-help), and what are some of your favourite NF books? Do you have any tips for those who want to get into reading more non-fiction? If you don’t read non-fiction, what don’t you like about it? Do you think that will change (or has it already changed) over the years?
It’s time to look at October’s community posts. I didn’t realise how many reviews I checked out this month, but that explains how my TBR exploded with new titles because all these reviews made me want to check out these books asap! 🤭 I hope you’ll take the time to visit some of these creators and show them the love they deserve! ✨📖 Happy reading! 📖✨

Hello, hello and welcome back to another episode of WWW Wednesday, a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words, which means I’ll be answering these questions:
This week’s topic is a: The First 10 Books I Randomly Grabbed from My Shelf (Stand in front of your book collection, close your eyes, point to a title, and write it down. If you have shelves, point to your physical books. If you have a digital library, use a random number generator and write down the title of the book that corresponds with the number you generated. You get bonus points if you tell us whether or not you’ve read the book, and what you thought of it if you did!)
October was a heavier month than expected. There was a lot of illness and loss this month, with several family friends and a former colleague who passed away. It made for a rather heavy month, and I think the thoughts and feelings that brought affected me much more than I realised!
The month wasn’t all terrible though. I did a lot of baking (apple pies, lemon pound cakes, and banana-chocolate walnut loaves), I finally booked my ticket to Sri Lanka for a friend’s wedding and the New Year, and I treated myself to many books and cute Pop Mart things! I’m sharing some highlight posts from the month off my Instagram (and I just realised that one of the pictures I posted was from September, lol… oops)!

I spent most of my Sunday in bed finishing The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones. This is easily a 6-star read and it’ll probably be in my top 5, if not top 3, of the year! I’m honestly blown away by how much I loved it and how emotional it made me in so many different ways. It’s not an easy read but it’s more than worth the work to absorb and understand! Also, the vampire lore was just so freaking cool. I’m so glad I read this with Charlotte as we had a great discussion about it afterwards. I can’t wait to read more by SGJ soon!

This week’s topic is:
Halloween Freebie 👻
Prompts:Happy Halloween, folks! 🎃 To celebrate the spooky fest, we’re making today a Halloween freebie! You can check out our blogs for inspiration (Aria and Dini) or write about something else you’re interested in!
Hello, friends! I’m back with another book tag today and it’s one that I saw on Nicole @ Bookwyrm Knit‘s blog earlier this month. It looked like so much fun, and definitely seemed like a challenge, so I thought why not give it a go? The original tag created by BookTuber Tabby was actually a timed challenge but I’m not about putting that pressure on myself because I already know this is going to be tough and it’ll definitely take me longer than 8 minutes to complete (that’s like super human levels of speed for this challenge, haha). 🤣
On that note, let’s get to it! Also, you can find the full list of questions at the bottom of my post.
Do you have a book with deckled edges?
The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker
I’m not always the biggest fan of deckled edges these days (I used to be slightly obsessed) but I kinda like it with this book, especially my copy which is secondhand and marred by yellow stains, which adds to the vintage feel of the cover. I think it also suits the deckled edge style!
Do you have a book with 3 or more people on the cover?
The Malevolent Seven by Sebastian De Castell
I’m not always the biggest fan of deckled edges these days (I used to be slightly obsessed) but I kinda like it with this book, especially my copy which is secondhand and marred by yellow stains, which adds to the vintage feel of the cover. I think it also suits the deckled edge style!
Do you have a book based on another fictional story?
The Earl That Got Away by Diana Quincy
This is a Persuasion retelling and it’s fabulous! If you love plus-sized, diverse FMCs in historical fiction, all the pining, angst and intense chemistry, and of course, Persuasion retellings, I would definitely recommend it!
Do you have a book with a title 10 letters long?
Fan Service by Rosie Danan
I still haven’t read anything by Danan but of course I’m keeping up with her latest releases. I do have a problem, I fear… 🤭
Do you have a book with a title that starts and ends with the same letter?
Echoes of the Tide by Emma Hamm
Oof, this was such a tough one to find so I immediately squealed with delight when I came across this title! It’s the third book in Hamm’s sea monster romance and I’m hoping to read it this year (hopefully, lol).
Do you have a Mass Market Paperback book?
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
I bought this book as a physical copy first and got the MMP cos although she was chonky as heck, she was smol and I thought I would’ve liked that. Turns out, it’s not so great for reading, and perhaps even as equally if not even more intimidating to read cos of how thick she is! 🤭
Do you have a book written by an author using a pen name?
A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine
AnnaLinden Weller writes under this pen name. I’ve heard a lot of interesting things about this book/series and it intimidates me a whole lot but I’m also very keen to give it a try!
Do you have a book with a character’s name in the title?
The Undermining of Twyla and Frank by Megan Bannen
I think the reason I haven’t read this yet, other than pure procrastination, is the fact that I want to re-read Hart & Mercy beforehand cos I remember so few of the details. All I remember from book one is how massively I sobbed towards the end. It was great! 😌
Do you have a book with two maps in it?
Jade City by Fonda Lee
Not only does this book have the most incredible world-building, complex characters, and even more intricate relationships, we also get blessed with more than one map! I mean, if you haven’t already been convinced to read this, please do.
Do you have a book that was turned into a TV show?
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson
I actually haven’t seen this show but I’ve heard it’s pretty faithful to the book and it’s well adapted? Not sure if I will get around to it but it is on my (extremely) long to-watch list! 🤣
Do you have a book written by someone who is originally famous for something else? (Celebrity/athlete/politician/TV personality)
Dinner for Vampires by Bethany Joy Lenz
This is the memoir of Bethany Joy Lenz who plays my favourite character in the epic TV series, One Tree Hill! It’s Haley 😍
Do you have a book with a clock on the cover?
The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell
I read this so long ago that I can’t remember when and I remember close to nothing about it now, but I did give it 5 stars so… That’s something! I’d love to re-read this one day.
Do you have a poetry book?
Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver by Mary Oliver
I’ve heard so many wonderful things about this poetry collection. I have not ready poetry in a very long time but it piqued my interest enough for me to get my hands on a copy!
Do you have a book with an award stamp on it?
The Promise by Damon Galgut
It has The 2021 Book Prize “award stamp” on it! That counts… Right? 🤭
Do you have a book written by an author with the same initials as you?
Friends, I really thought I would get through this being able to answer all the prompts but sadly, I could not find a book for this. I don’t know any authors with the initials DK or even ones with my full full names! 🤭
Do you have a book of short stories?
Blackout by Various Authors
I loved that this was a book of short stories that were all set in the same location, experienced the same situation, and all sort of intertwined at the end. It was cool and such a fun read!
Do you have a book that is between 500-510 pages long?
Silver Under Nightfall by Rin Chupeco
This Illumicrate edition that I have of this book is 506 pages long! It does have a different cover than this though but I couldn’t find a good quality one of it… 🤭
Do you have a book that was turned into a movie?
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
This even has two adaptations. The first in Swedish and the other in English, which was also modified to fit a more American context. I’m planning to watch the Swedish one!
Do you have a graphic novel?
Squire by Nadia Shammas, Sara Alfageeh
I love graphic novels so I had quite a few to choose from! This one is still on my TBR and I’ve heard great things about it. I need to prioritise reading more of my graphic novels, I think!
Do you have a book written by 2 or more authors?
The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren
I know I probably have other books written by 2 or more authors, but Christina Lauren will always be the first that come to mind because of how long I’ve been reading their books. 🤭 That said, this one is still on my TBR!
The Questions:
Do you have a book with deckled edges?
Do you have a book with 3 or more people on the cover?
