Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [339]

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 my Sunday night in bed with The Second Death of Locke by V. L. Bovalino (39%). This is my current buddy read with Chris although its been massively disrupted by everything that has happened this week. (So sorry, Chris!)

So far, I’m liking this a lot. There is so much yearning and I love that I can feel the intensity of our FMC’s emotions. It’s so angsty in a good way! 😂 The world-building and magic system has also been really interesting. I feel like this is definitely a slow burn in terms of plot, but I’m enjoying the journey!

What book do you have in bed with you this Sunday?

First Lines Friday: 4 September 2026

Happy Friday book lovers! We’re back with another First Lines Friday, a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? Here are the rules:

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
  • Finally… reveal the book!

First lines:

“Before recording the strange history that follows, I felt I ought to take a look at the house where such a gruesome murder was committed. Accordingly, one afternoon in early spring, I set off, walking stick in hand, for a stroll around that infamous residence.”

Do you recognize the book these first lines come from?

Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [339]

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 my Sunday night in bed with Malice by John Gwynne (42%). This is a re-read with Leslie before we continue the series.

I feel like this has been a little slow going so far because there’s a lot of information (especially character and place names!) to take in, but I’m enjoying it. There are already characters I want to swipe off the page and others that must be protected at all costs. 🥺 I really can’t wait to see what happens! So far, I have not recalled anything from when we last read it 4 years ago, lol. 💀

What book do you have in bed with you this Sunday?

“I’ve arrived in London without incident.
There are few triumphs in my recent life, but I count this as one. My existence of the last three years, has been nothing but incident.”
