Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [315]

February 8, 2026February 9, 2026 Dini @ dinipandareads5 Comments

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 finished my last read earlier this evening and now I’m trying to decide what I want to read next. I want to pick up something by a Black author for Black History Month, and I’m tossing it up between the five below. I’ve read The Nickel Boys when it first came out, but I’ve been meaning to re-read it. The Write Escape and What It Means will fulfill reading challenge prompts for this month. I’m unsure what I’m in the mood for, tbh!

^{Yellow Wife by Sadeqa Johnson, The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead, What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky by Lesley Nneka Arimah, The Write Escape by Charish Reid, Always and Forever by Beverly Jenkins}

Have you read any of these (and if so, would you recommend it)? What book are you spending your Sunday in bed with?

We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week’s topic is a: Book Covers Featuring Cool/Pretty/Unique/etc. Typography (Typography is the art of arranging letters so they look visually appealing and more interesting than, for example, the body text of this blog post you’re reading now. I did a similar post to this a few years ago, so if you need inspiration on what I’m talking about click here to have a look.)

I haven’t had the chance to read at all today (more details on that below) but I plan to try to at least read a few pages of Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh. This is one of the books on my Illumicrate unread stack I’ll be buddy reading it with Chris. Since I had pretty great success with buddy reading backlist Owlcrate books last year, I thought this’d be a fun way for us to get motivated and move some of these books off the TBR pile!

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!
