Happy Sunday and welcome to another Sunday Sum-Up!
Can you believe that September just flew into our lives with no warning? I keep thinking it’s the first day of the month only to be reminded that it’s five days into the month already! Such a whirlwind! I am glad to report that I am now fully vaccinated! Yay! It’s such a relief and worth the day-long sore arm I had after getting my jab.
I couldn’t get much done this week since I felt slightly under the weather after the jab, but I put in some good hours into my reading, blogging and trying new things on my Bookstagram that it was a genuinely fun week! First, I decided I am going to experiment with my IG posts and include more edits, starting with my August wrap-up! I feel like I’m really like this sort of posts, so I’m planning on doing little recommendation lists on my Bookstagram from time to time, so stay tuned for that!
Then I finally managed to finish reading Incursion, so expect a review coming up this week. I also managed to finish reading Pahua and the Soul Stealer on time for my blog stop and I cannot believe how fast I made it through those 400-something pages! You know it’s a 5-star read when you can’t put away the book!
And that’s my update for this week! Hope you enjoy this week’s Sunday Sum-Up! Let me know how your week went below!

I had two blog tour stops this week! First, I reviewed Like Other Girls by Britta Lundin, which turned out to be a great 4-star YA that challenged so many gender norms and sports traditions!
Then I reviewed Pahua and the Soul Stealer by Lori M. Lee, most probably one of my favourites of this year with its beautiful depiction of Hmong myth and family.
I also discussed the role of gender in book protagonists and what my personal preferences were.
And that’s another Sunday Sum-Up done! What are you excited about the most for next week?

Congrats on being fully vaccinated and reaching 1.7k followers on bookstagram! Pahua and the Soul Stealer looks and sounds amazing and I’ll be checking out your review for it after this. I love seeing Hmong rep in MG fantasy, which is something that I never would’ve even considered to be possible before! It’s so awesome 😍 Have a great week ahead!
Thanks, Dini! Glad to hear you’ll be checking out Pahua! I feel like it’s going to be a book I’ll try cram down everyone’s throats LOL!

Being fully vaccinated is worth the feeling ill for a few days – and the extra reading time was a definite bonus!
I definitely agree, Louise! Fully worth it!
