The Sunday Post #33
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba from The Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
This week I learnt that I do not cope very well with high temperatures. We’ve been having an exceptionally warm July in the Netherlands, with an all time high on July 1st of 38 degrees Celsius. The heat is making me lie around like a slug all day, chugging water and feeling overheated.
The good news is that I managed to write a coherent first draft of my thesis, so I’m enjoying my week of relaxation before I start the rewrites. I took this very tired selfie after printing the whole thing before handing it in. Luckily the end is in sight – and my supervisor has already told me my thesis (although not very good yet) is sufficient for graduating in August. Which means it’s certain that I’ll be able to start my master’s degree in September!
This week on Nyx Book Reviews
Will you look at me, all blogging and everything? I’m sharing all of my Harry Potter reading memories for Harry Potter Month. You should check out that post for the pretty pictures alone. I’ve also reviewed Shadowdance, the fourth book in the Darkest London historical paranormal romance series.
Read this week
- Death Note, Vol. 8: Target by Tsugumi Ohba – 3☆
- The Whitstable Pearl Mystery by Julie Wassmer – 3☆
I had a decent reading week, with one manga and a mystery novel. Though the start of this Death Note volume was a bit dreary, towards the end it picked up speed again, and I’m looking forward to finding out how this series progresses towards the ending. The Whitstable Pearl Mystery is a nice cozy mystery featuring a coastal town close to Canterbury, where the annual oyster festival is disturbed by the discovery of two dead bodies. Though I had some issues with it, I quite enjoyed it.
How was your week?
