Alli the Book Giraffe

Hello readers! It’s Sunday and that means it’s time for a Sunday Post. It’s been two weeks since I updated you guys, so let’s chat about what I’ve been up to!

The Sunday Post was 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!

Life Update:

These past two weeks I had a week off of school and I started a new term. I thought I didn’t make honor roll again this last term, but I did!

I honestly had a hard time with this statistics course and had my worst grade ever from it, even though it was only a B.

This new term, I am taking macroeconomics and financial accounting. This is the first term where I’m taking a course for my actual major, so I’m really excited for that.

So far, these courses are not too bad. It’s only week one, so it could get harder. I just feel like macroeconomics is easier than micro was.

I also started a book! So, I’ll be letting you guys know later on about that.

Other than that, I’ve been doing some yard work this week. We didn’t plant any new flowers this year, but some have come back. I’ll have to post the lilies when they start blooming.

Let me know what you guys have been up to! I didn’t do much on my week off, but honestly that was intentional.

On the Blog Last Week:

Monday – Down the TBR Hole 19

Thursday – 20 Questions Book Tag

Upcoming This Week:

I’m hoping to have a WWW Wednesday post up this week, along with a book tag on Thursday, and LTB on Friday.

Reading Update:

This might seem really random, but I have picked up Interview With the Vampire. I believe I’ve read this before over 10 years ago.

To be honest, Enhypen is about to drop a new album and they have this vampire concept. The teaser images were reminding me of Queen of the Damned, so I ended up picking up the audiobook of book one.

I listened to a little over an hour of the audiobook so far and I’m really enjoying it. It follows a vampire named Louis who is sort of recounting his entire life to a boy including all the way back before he became a vampire.

I was sent Notes on Infinity by Celadon to read with a group of people. It’s really intriguing to me as it’s a romance book and Celadon typically publishes mystery novels.

I finally received my copy of this on Friday and am only 2 chapters in so far. At this moment, the main character is going to college and notices a guy named Jack who she is sort of ennamered with.

This book comes out in early June and if you are interested, there is a giveaway for it right now on Goodreads.

What I’ve Watched:

I started two shows this last week. The first is a Korean show called Heavenly Ever After. I’ve watched 3 episodes of it so far and I honestly cannot decide if I like it.

This show is incredibly sad. In that way, it keeps me wanting more. There were MANY scenes that nearly brought me to tears.

BUT the main character is kind of insufferable.

It follows an older woman who is a loan shark and became one to take care of her disabled husband. The MC is so incredibly aggravating. She always has something to complain about or have a problem with and it’s so exhausting.

I was just hoping that the show would add more characters to focus on, but she sort of bulldozes over everyone.

There is a lot of good about the show, but I’m not sure if I’ll be going back or not. The entire show isn’t even out yet, so I have time to think about it.

The other show I watched all but one episode of and that is Bad Boy. This is an Israeli show which is based on true events and follows comedian Daniel Chen.

This story is interesting. It’s really about him getting into a lot of trouble as a teenager. I just feel like we aren’t getting the entire story. It has really similar vibes to Adolescence, but the story isn’t quite as impactful to me.

What I’m Listening To:

This song is one that you may hate upon first listen, but it’s so dang catchy. The ladies in this group have incredible stage presence and I can’t help but be obsessed with this song right now.
