Sunday Post. One More Hiatus

Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviews.

Some days, you wake up thinking, "Blogging is no longer for me." Other days, you wake you with a thousand post ideas popping in your head and think, "There are so many book conversations I want to have." So, after another return followed by a hiatus, which I thought would end my blogging hobby, here I am, AGAIN! 😅 I'm not sure if "Sunday Post" is still an active meme, but this has always been the perfect spot to begin anew after a long time without writing.

What happened in the last months:

🌻 Last time I wrote, I was back doing research for my thesis. Now, I want to share that I'm back at participating in academic conferences -- I have joined four conferences since June (the last was just yesterday). These are always so much fun, and I learn a lot. However, I always end up feeling like an imposter, and whatever I do is never good enough *IMPOSTER SYNDROME ALERT*

🌻 I'm finally once again reading more often than not. Now, it's time to try to read every single day. By the way, if you know someone who would like to subscribe to Scribd, here's my link (my subscription is over, and that is how I read most books 🥺).

🌻 Okay, I don't think I have anything else to share. It seems like the last months have been all about reading, writing, researching, and academic conferences. And resting. I'm starting to realize that "resting" and "being lazy" are not the same thing -- I can't keep beating myself up constantly for not doing something I see as productive. Sometimes, your mind and body need an hour or two of doing nothing.

🌻 Last but not least, Nina has passed away. This is actually the first time I'm writing anywhere that my Nina has crossed the rainbow. I miss her purring. I miss her blue eyes. I miss her mood swings. I miss how she bossed the other cats around. I miss her! She would be turning fifteen this month. ❤️

 

  

Did I get a lot more books in the past months? I did! Am I in the mood to search for the covers, put them all together in Photoshop, and then work on the HTML code to ensure the resolution is perfect? No, I'm not. But I really need to share with you some great books I got through NetGalley (did something happen to NetGalley? It's so empty these days!), whose reviews I need to share with you ASAP.  Anyway, I'm just showing you a book I got this week from the Kobo store for free: Indigenous Resurgence, Decolonization, and Movements for Environmental Justice, edited by Jaskiran Dhillon. Yes, I got it for a future presentation -- that is, if my paper is accepted.

How have you been? What are you reading? Are you excited about September's book releases? See you next Sunday! 🤞🏻
