Sunday Post + Mailbox Monday


SUNDAY POST is hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It's "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."

The August host of MAILBOX MONDAY is 5 Minutes for Books. It's "a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists." 

oOoOoOo

Recap! Here's what happened last week:

Monday: I posted a review of IN A WITCH'S WARDROBE by Juliet Blackwell HERE.

Tuesday: I posted a review of SPIRITS IN THE TREES by Morgan Hannah MacDonald HERE.

Wednesday: My Waiting On Wednesday post featured FROM NOTTING HILL WITH LOVE...ACTUALLY by Ali McNamara.

Thursday: The Feed Your Reader Giveaway Hop started! It runs through next Wednesday...check out my giveaway post HERE.

Friday: Reading, reading, reading.

Saturday: I posted a review of SAINT'S GATE by Carla Neggers HERE.

I also did a little blog-keeping, cleaning up my sidebars and creating new About Me, Review Policy and Disclosure Policy pages.
