This week has been quite busy, the little one is teething and guess what: SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!

On a positive note, we’ve been out for strolls since the weather has been quite nice these past few days:

It is not as warm, though, but when the sun’s out, it is quite nice, and a bit of fresh air and vitamin D were much needed since we have not been out for quite some time.

The little one helped me make tiramisu (by drooling a lot, refusing to stay in her cot, and insisting on being in my arms). As soon as it was ready, it disappeared—just like that! This is how I discovered I can do magic… but only when food is involved and my husband is present.

THE BOOKS:

Despite the sleepless nights and running only on coffee I still managed to squeeze some reading in.


  • Snap, Spirit, Murder by Felicity Green is an ARC I’m reading. I started on the 1st of the month. I’m currently 45% in. I do have some issues with it, but nothing major. The book will be published this month, so I can’t wait to finish it and tell you all about it.

  • Finding Naomi by Diane Hawley Nagatomo, a DRC this book has already been published, but I picked it up from NetGalley as it sounded interesting, and I am 15% in and enjoying it so far. I am taking my time with it, as I still have 42 days left to complete it. Hence, I’m prioritising my ARCs that, for some reason, will all be published this March! haha

  • Luminous by Silvia Park another ARC coming out this month, I have it lined up just as I finish the cosy mystery Snap, Spirit, Murder.

  • One Night Hand Stand by Julia Kent is yet another ARC it actually came out yesterday, so it is more of a DRC, but I’ve got the ARC version. Regardless, I love the premise it sounds like it would be a fun read. I am also doing the Book Blitz this week. I will pick it up next with Luminous 🙂

Are there other book fellas who can’t read one book at a time? If yes, raise your hand LOL I feel like I need to set up MBRA ( multiple book readers anonymous) so we could feel less alone.

  1. I definitely always have multiple books going! Usually different genres/formats but still!

    1. Same! I’m glad I’m not the only one, haha. I sometimes need a palate cleanser, and I read a graphic novel in between books 🙂 What are you currently reading?

  2. Tiramisu’s are my absolute favourite dessert, hands down. Yours looks so yummy, I’m getting hungry just looking at my screen! The cover for One Night Hand Stand is sooooo cute — I’m definitely going to check it out just because of that haha. Love this post! ❤️

    1. I love it too! It is delicious and easy to make, especially when you have a baby clinging to you all the time 😄 I know that was one of the reasons I picked it. Thank you so much for stopping by. Hopefully, you will like the book 🙂
