Happy Sunday, folks! And welcome to another Sunday Sum-Up! I am always looking forward to Sundays since my mom stays home full day! That means I get her for a full 24 hours of whatever we feel like doing! Today it was shopping, meaning groceries and a random visit to the small local bookstore!
Don’t you miss the days when walking into a bookstore was a normal, mundane experience (which I absolutely loved!)? But since the pandemic started, bookstore visits are elevated to a whole other level! Even if they’ve got the tiniest collection of books, I am just excited to touch them. I feel like I am approaching a creeper-level of obsessive!
Anyway, how’s everyone reading been? I finished reading two books this week: one from my physical TBR and an e-ARC. I had such a wholesome, pleasant read with Olive Kittredge by Elizabeth Strout. Whereas Firebreak by Nicole Kornher-Stace just raised my blood pressure sky high with all the action, plot twists and explosions!
Now that we’ve done our weekly life catch-ups, lets catch up on all things blogging with our Sunday Sum-Up!
Reviews
I really enjoyed reading these fantastic reviews and ended up adding all of these books to my Goodreads! Take a look, share some love, and add some new books to you TBRs!

Bookstagram
Bookstagram is one of my favourite platforms to share and promote. There is amazing talent all over this Instagram community and here are a few amazing Bookstagrammers I discovered this week!
@hopelessbooklover_
@bookshelf_wonderland
@hollys_book_nook
Lastly, this week on Bibliosini…
For this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, I shared a list of 10 books with funny titles.
It’s never too late to look back and reflect on last year, so I posted my 2020 End Of Year Survey on everything bookish and blogging!
Sunday Sum-Up is about making bookish connections, so feel free to comment below about anything!

I haven’t been in a bookstore since the pandemic started and I really miss it! Hope you have a good week😁
Exactly! Cant believe it’s been so long! 😂 Hope you have good week too! 😁
Thanks for the shoutout! And for the list of other blogs to go check out! I understand missing book stores. I work in one and Covid just keeps shutting it down and letting it open again for a little bit before shutting down again. I miss being able to just enjoy bookstores whenever we want. The serotonin boost s just soooo good! – Amber
You’re welcome, Amber! And IKR! I miss that serotonin boost so bad! 😅
Thank you so much for sharing my review!! And yes, I miss bookstores sooooo much! I haven’t been to one since before the pandemic hit. But I’ve just recently become fully vaccinated so I’ll be venturing back soon. Yay!!!
Hope your bookstore visit goes like a dream! 😁💛
