Weekly Recap #39

Hi guys, I hope this will be me back posting regularly again, I'm still suffering from a blocked nose and feeling tired a lot of the time, but I've bought a higher dose of iron tablets, so I hope those will help. and I really need to get back on track with eating properly, I think because I've had back to back viral infections and colds I've just been eating what I feel like, but I seriously need to sort it out now! But other than that my week wasn't too bad.
We link our weekly wrap ups with The Sunday Post hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated reviewer.

WHAT I READ/REVIEWED 
(Click on title for Goodreads link)


I was surprised to learn that Bridal Boot Camp was a novella, I really did enjoy it, but just expected more. On the Come Up was another great book from Angie Thomas, I think I still loved The Hate U Give a smidge more, but On the Come Up once again had such solid characters. Because You Love to Hate Me had been on my tbr pile for the longest time, I finally decided to give this book a go last month, and just finished it yesterday and to be honest it was kind of disappointing, I think there were one or two stories that I liked, but a lot of them I skim read :/


BOOKS RECEIVED 
 (Click on title for Goodreads link)
  
 

It was my sister's birthday this week and she had been after Emergency Contact for the longest time, I've heard such great things about this book, so can't wait to start it, as soon as she's finished with it.  And I'm not normally one to read graphic novels, but since I really enjoyed The Umbrella Academy tv show, I thought I'd give the comic a go.


NEW TO MY TBR
(Click on Book for Goodreads link)

 

This newest book from Mar H, Choi sounds brilliant, I know I haven't read anything from Choi previously, but I have a feeling that this will be my sort of book. And Christina Lauren have quickly become my go to authors, so I was super excited to find out about their newest release. 


  WHAT I'M WATCHING


So I went to watch Captain Marvel this week and wow this film was just incredible, definitely up there as one of my favourite Marvel movies alongside Black Panther. I loved how we were given the backstory and how it links up with other films, this is one film I highly recommend watching!


EVENTS OF THE WEEK 


This week marked my seven year blogoversary at The Readers Den, it was the day of my sister's birthday and the day I went to watch Captain Marvel, so totally forgot, but thank you everyone who has stuck by me and supported my blog, even though I haven't been that consistent as of late, I appreciate every single comment you guys leave. 
The above photo is the breakfast I had with my friend this week, the egg muffin was absolutely delicious and it was just great catching up in so long. 
And in other news my sister has started a new blog, unfortunately she's not a reader like me, but she's lived with being a coeliac most of her life, and recently has become super strict with her diet (proud sister moment) and so has created this blog, to help others ease their way in living with a coeliac diet. You can check out her blog at Gluten Free & Gut Happy. 


How was your week?

Back to back illness is never cool. I really hope you get back to 100% soon and stay that way! Spring is just around the corner and no one likes to be sick in spring. ;)

Lindsi said...

I was gifted Emergency Contact, but haven't had a chance to read it yet! I hope we both love it. <3

Seven years! That's amazing. Congratulations on so many years of blogging. Sorry to hear you are under the weather. I hope you feel better soon. I liked Choi's first book, and am quite envious of the two review books you received. I hope they are fantastic.

I didn't know The Umbrella academy was a comic! I've heard great things about the show. Also I loved Capt. Marvel- Brie Larson as CM, Ben Mendelssohn as Talos, the humor, just the whole thing. Awesome movie!

Happy blogoversary!!!

Happy Blogoversary! Seven years is amazing!

Have a great week and happy reading!

Nicci said...

Happy Blogoversary!
I loved Captain Marvel! I loved everything about it including the soundtrack... That took me back. :)

Nick said...

I think we've been on the same page being sick. It's so frustrating and set me back in many ways. I hope you are on the mend though. I'm glad you liked On the Come Up. I put a hold on it at the library and I'm eagerly waiting for it to come through.
I need to go see Captain Marvel as soon as I'm done with my exams next week. I've heard nothing but great things!
And happy 7 years, Jasprit!

The Book Disciple said...

Oh I will have to check out your sister's blog! I have been gluten free for 7-8 years now after my diagnosis. Congrats on 7 years with your blog. That is amazing!

Northwoman said...

Happy 7 years! We went gluten free last year as my daughter is sensitive to gluten. We will check out her blog! I am a little behind on the Marvel Universe but I want to see this one. Have a lovely week! Anne - Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post

Thank you Lindsi me too :)

Jasprit said...

Thank you me too, it really seems to be taking a toll on my body, as all I want to do is nothing, but really don't have the chance to relax :(

Jasprit said...

Thanks Sam! And oh I really should clarify that, by new to my tbr I mean new to my radar, I wish I had both of those books already!

Jasprit said...

Yeah I didn't realise until fairly recently and that a member of My Chemical Romance actually wrote it? I love how Captain Marvel has given us all this build up to Avengers Endgame, I really can't wait for that either!

Jasprit said...

Thank you Maureen! I've really missed blogging, so hoping to get to it more regularly now :)

Jasprit said...

Thank you Nicci! And I haven't listened to the soundtrack yet, I need to listen to it asap!

Jasprit said...

Yeah I really don't feel like doing much either, but I have so many things going on right now, so can't really properly relax either :/ I hope you enjoy On the Come Up, as much as I did! and thank you :)

Jasprit said...

Oh really? my sister really struggled with it at the beginning, but definitely has a better access to food now and thank you :)

Jasprit said...

I tried it for a week and really struggled! and thank you :)

Brandie said...

Happy Blog Anniversary, Jasprit! I'm happy to see your posts all the time. :) I hope you're feeling better. So much going around, it's hard to stay healthy these days! I'm looking forward to reading On the Come Up - glad you enjoyed it.

Shooting Stars Mag said...

Happy Blogoversary!! I really hope to see Captain Marvel soon; I'm glad to hear you loved it so much. I need to check out your sister's blog as I'm trying to mostly go gluten-free.

Bonnie said...

Congratulations on your anniversary! Time sure flies by. :)
If I can get off my butt and get going, my plan is to go see Captain Marvel today. I'm so excited to see it!

Jasprit said...

Thank you Brandie! I know I seem to be getting super quick these days too! I hope you end up enjoying On the come Up too! :)

Jasprit said...

Thank you! she's hoping to post regularly, so hopefully can share some tips with you :)

Jasprit said...

Thank you Bonnie, I know I can't believe it's been 7 years either! I hope you get to watch it soon :)

The Book Disciple said...

Oh gluten free was rough in the beginning but now its pretty easy!

Rachel @Waves of Fiction said...

I can't believe it's been 7 years, Jasprit! Congratulations! :)

I hope you're feeling better! Getting back to back viral infections can really bring your energy level down! And bravo for your sister starting a healthy eating/gluten free blog. I know so many people with food intolerance issues.

I really want to see Captain Marvel. Love a girl who can kick some ass! I always wanted to be that girl/woman. I'll probably wait until it comes out on DVD knowing the way my life works right now! I hardly have any free time lately.
