Alli the Book Giraffe

Hello readers! It’s Sunday again and that means it’s time for a Sunday Post. I didn’t do much this week, but I thought I’d give you guys an update anyway. This has honestly become my favorite post to make and I hate skipping it when I do.

I made a Sunday Post Thumbnail! Do you guys like it? I wanted it to match my others.

The Sunday Post and the thumbnail I’m using were created by The Caffeinated Reader. In The Sunday Post, you share news each week with your audience. This can be personal, book news, blog news, or anything else you want. Click the creator’s name for more details!

Content Theft:

One blogger told me they were sending a cease and desist this last week and I haven’t heard an update. But, the host website told me they won’t help me about my content being up over there.

I’m thinking I might go ahead and send my report in again. I’m sure they’ll help me if I keep bothering them. If anything, I am persistent. 😂

If you missed the second website stealing book blogger’s content, check out last weeks Sunday Post.

Life Update:

I think I want to get back into reading this upcoming week. I had this post come out a couple years ago now where I told you guys about some books I wanted to read before I turn 30 and I have one I’ve been reading that is on that list and I’d love to finish it before I give you an update on that post. My plan is for the update to come out on my birthday at the end of the month.

I’ve just been focusing on myself this week. I haven’t been in the best space mentally and honestly, I’m not sure if and when I might tell you guys everything that is going on. Maybe once it’s over, but not now.

I just wanted it to be a good year, you know? 2014 my dad died and I wanted the 10 year anniversary to be a good one. 2014 was the worst year of my entire life. And, I need this year to be on the upward trajectory going forward.

I hope I can give you guys a better update in the next few weeks because my life has been falling apart.

On another note, I am now more than half way through my bookkeeping course. I decided to slow the heck down on it. I was rushing myself too much. I mean, I also took two weeks off last month while I was sick. But, I know I’ll have the program done this month. I am just so worried I won’t pass my test! You can only take that test ONCE every six months.

I’ve been taking notes like a madwoman, and I’m probably going to do a ton of review. I’ll get to a point where I think I fully understand something and then I get it wrong. That is the most frustrating part, but in getting it wrong, I can learn how to do it right in the future. It’s not so hard that I don’t think I can do it, I just need more practice.

On the Blog Last Week:

Monday – Down the TBR Hole: 2024 Edition

Thursday – Easter Book Tag

Saturday – Middle Grade Graphic Novel Recommendations

Upcoming This Week:

This week I have Spring new releases I’m excited for on Monday, Tuesday is a Tell Me Something Tuesday AND Top Ten Tuesday. So, a double posting day. Thursday is the My Life in Books Tag and Saturday I have a physical TBR update post.

Reading Update:

I don’t know if you guys know this, but I consider myself to be Pagan. And, I picked up a book this week on Hellenic Polytheism, which is a religion that I have been fascinated with since childhood.

I am fascinated with all religions, but Hellenism is my favorite for sure.

I learned this week that Hephaestus is probably the god of disabilities because he was born with one. I didn’t learn that from this book, just online. I would highly recommend pagan reddit. It really has been so amazing discovering that this week.

I have been trying to get more into the holidays and things with paganism, but it really isn’t that easy to find information about it.

What I Watched This Week:

I finished up Spring Baking Championship now that a new season is coming out. So, I am really happy about that one. I really love this series the most out of all the Championships. I miss Lorraine Pascal, though! I read online that she ended up going into the medical field during COVID, so she won’t be back. I knew she wasn’t on there for a year or two because of travel restrictions, but I thought she’d be back eventually.

I also started season 6 of 60 Days In. I watched the first 5 seasons YEARS ago now and saw that season 6 is on Tubi, so I started it. If there are any others, they are not on Tubi.

You know what is interesting? My dad went to jail when I was 15 for about 3 months. He became so well liked that some people beat a guy up for stealing some candy bars from him. He told me that people pay each other in ramen noodles in jail. He also told me they had like 15 different flavors and I was thinking that I’d love to try 15 different flavors of ramen. 🤣

Other than that, I have been watching Lights Out on Youtube, which is a true crime podcast. And, I’ve been doing that while I do my diamond painting. Did I tell you guys that I bought myself a diamond painting for the first time? I have wanted one for YEARS. It’s a tree of life, and I’ll probably post a picture of it on the next Sunday Post because it’ll be finished.
