Sunday Post (1st Edition)



The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It's a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.

oOoOoOo

I think this is my first official "Sunday Post." Yay!

Weekly Recap

Slump, slump, slump. I'm in a reading one. I just can't get motivated to read, which is unfortunate because my TBR pile is toppling over! I only read one book last week, and it was meh.

So, instead of reading, last week I did some blog "housekeeping." I went back through my 500+ posts and retagged and reformatted most of them. Some of the posts looked terrible! I don't know what I was thinking. ;-)

I also worked a little on my tumblr blog, which is really just a companion to this one. It's a fun place to post photos, quotes and such. Do you have a tumblr blog? If so, let me know!

Books Received for Review:

You Don't Want to Know by Lisa Jackson

Memories by Deanna Lynn Sletten

Kindle Freebies:
Through the Door by Jodi McIsaac

Spirits in the Trees by Morgan Hannah MacDonald
I also won some awesome goodies from Amber Lin's GIVING IT UP book tour. Click HERE for the pic. (Chocolate & Sandalwood soap!)

Plans for the Upcoming Week:

Digging out of the slump! I've started reading Little Night by Luanne Rice. We'll see how it goes!

Have a fantastic week!

  3. I did some blog housekeeping not too long ago, and I was really surprised at how bad some of my posts looked. Unfortunately I'm still fighting with format issues on mine that pop up randomly. :( I hope you get out of your reading slump, and enjoy your books that you got.
    Thanks for stopping by!!

  5. I try not to look at my old posts, because they are just awful! I have a tumbler but never use it. However, it might be a good place for quotes..

  9. I hear ya about reading slumps. I am so proud I finished an entire book in 2 days! Unwholly Neal Shusterman, it was good. A very creepy dystopian.
    I use slumps to spruce up the blog too. I also visit other blogs and comment away.
    I should work on my Tumblr. I love your blog design. She makes really eclectic and whimsical designs.
    Have a gr8 week and enjoy your new book :)

  12. I hope your reading slump ends soon! When I get that way, I'll read something out of my usual genres.
    I tend to go back and relabel and clean up old posts too :)
    Enjoy those books!

    I did the slump thing 2 weeks ago but then read a book over the weekend that I think broke it!
