The Sunday post is a weekly meme hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer. It's a chance to share news, a post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things you have received.
This week went by very fast and relatively uneventful. The snow is melting at last which gives me hope that spring is knocking at our doors. I'd really love to go for more walks but only if it's not freezing cold outside.
My left eye was inflamed yesterday but luckily it got better fast (I dabbed at it with a cotton pad soaked in camomile tea – gosh, I hate the smell of camomile...). Now I'm allowed to strain my eyes again, yay! XD
I've finished one novel and one short story this week one of which I enjoyed, and one that wasn't very much to my liking. Reviews are on the way.

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews
that makes it possible to share with other bookworms what books you
added to your shelves – physical or virtual – during the week.
I have only one new ARC to show you this week:
Title: Oops, Caught (Expanding Horizon #1)
Author: Alli Reshi
Source: NetGalley
Synopsis:
Mark Noland can’t figure
out how he got into such a fix. How does an ex-mercenary (okay, an
almost-reformed mercenary) get himself caught, stuck in a holding cell,
on a hostile alien planet? Held captive by strange bug-like creatures
who’d just as soon eat him as look at him. How can a simple mission go
so awry? To make matters worse, Noland’s not alone. His fellow prisoner,
a certain high-ranking, elite Stella officer holds him responsible for
their failed plan. Yeah, it was supposed to be a quick in and quick out
sort of mission. But no… Officer Gavnson just can’t let it go.
It’s not so easy trying to plan an escape when Noland keeps getting distracted by how his mission partner so very nicely fills out his uniform. And he suspects Gavnson is hiding something, too. As tensions run high, secrets are revealed that will change the both of them. There’s nothing like gunfights and running for your life to make that special bond.

It's a very short lgbtq sci-fi novella. My review will be up soon.
I also have something else to share with you: a book-related DVD I've purchased recently:
I've seen this Onegin film adaptation ages ago and loved it a lot. It
was around the time when in high school I had an Onegin phase and
couldn't shut up about Pushkin's novel. Now that I'm gonna meet Toby
Stephens in the summer at London Film and Comic Con, I've decided to revisit some
of his older projects and this film is among them (he plays Lensky in it). Can't wait to discover if I'll still rate this movie as high as I would have done 10 years ago.
