Sunday Sum-Up: Struggling with Blogging & Preparing to Move

Happy Monday, readers! I am here today with a late Sunday Sum-Up!

The past week has been a bit of a struggle because I am trying to read a few 2022 eARCs, which have reviews due next year, while trying to post content on my blog. I usually blog reviews as I read but this ‘scheduling reviews months early’ business is challenging me, so I apologise for the scarcity of book reviews that might come up in the coming weeks.

And why am I trying to read and review months before the reviews are actually due? Well, I am working on moving to Australia end of this year in time to start work as an intern doctor next year. This is bound to get messy and busy, so my solution is to schedule as much blogging content as I can before that. My days are already getting hectic with travel plans and the world’s ever-changing travel regulations that are really stressing me out, so I can only imagine how much more chaotic it’ll get as my travel date looms closer!

A tiny reading update before I move on to my shoutouts! I just finished reading Crash Site by Rachel Grant in time to post a review in December, and I am now reading The Push by Ashley Audrain and Omens of Death by Nicholas Rhea. Two mystery novels in one go? Feels ambitious to me but wish me luck!

I recommended 7 books with South Asian rep coming out in 2022!

I read and reviewed an early copy of Dark Tourist: Essays by Hasanthika Sirisena!

I took a microscope to my reading habits and discussed my shift towards current releases in this week’s Let’s Talk Bookish!
