The Sunday Post |Having a cold is the best excuse for catching up with reading!

Hey friends, welcome to The Sunday Post – a weekly meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviewer to share all the weekly news and feels!

The cold and wet weather is upon us as Autumn drifts away and Winter encroaches. It has been super cold this week and whilst lots of my friends have been out enjoying the wintery conventions, I’ve been home most of the week with a horrible cold! But that’s meant there’s been lots of time for reading, playing games and watching tv!

Books, Books, Books

The beginning of the month was quite slow for me in terms of books but this week I managed to read 3! Binti was a fantastic last minute addition for Black History Month, I loved reading my ARC copy of In the Vanishers’ Palace, and I moved onto Creatures the first of my two Halloween reads which I finished reading last night.

Watch All The Things

In addition to watching The Haunting of Hill House, we’ve been watching a lot this weekend as me, my partner and the dog have all been struck down with colds. Yesterday we spent the entire day catching up on Season 2 of Battlestar Galactica, and this afternoon we finally returned to watching Cry’s (Cryaotic) videos. It’s been really nice to actually put time aside to watch things instead of just…reading all the time?

Games

This week I’ve also been getting into the true spoopy spirit and decided to also play a spoopy game as well. I’ve owned Alan Wake for about 3 or 4 years but never got round to playing it, but it’s turned out to be the perfect spoopy game to play! I finished episode 1 and will be starting on episode 2 tonight.
