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
Hi Guys!
This was an exciting week for me, aside from going to Toronto | The Word On The Street I hit 250,000 page views on the blog AND cracked the top 10,000 Amazon reviewers by coming in at #9,638. It was a bit of a slower week compared to last week but I've gotten a lot of reading done and I connected with a couple of fantastic new bloggers via Twitter and I have something new and exciting in the works that I can't quite share with you yet but I will within the next month or so. Speaking of next month, where did September go? Where did the summer go? Hell where did 2013 go? It feels like this week is whipping by and I have no idea what to expect anymore since life has thrown me so many curveballs lately.
Anyways, I hope you all have a great week full of bookish things!
-Kimberly

ReplyDeleteThanks again Babe.
DeleteLove the swag Kim, and wow you found some killer deal. I love Partials and hope you do too. I need to check out your kindle finds more! Enjoy your week :)
ReplyDeleteYa know I've only bought about a dozen kindle books since I got the Kindle a couple years ago. I usually just get freebies but these were on my wishlist and were cheap :) I've been wanting to read partials since it came out, but my library didn't have it in the system so when I saw it on the sale table I had to snatch it up.
DeleteThanks for coming by!
Congrats on the top 10,000! I'm hovering around the 12,500 mark. How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf is very funny and Immortal Surrender was really enjoyable. I hope you like them too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Villa, I've got high hopes for those two books :)
DeleteThat is one awesome haul! One of these days I'll get to a book convention. I've been to Star Trek conventions (way back when), but at least one book convention is on my Bucket List. :)
ReplyDeleteYou totally should! I went because I'm probably never going to make it to BEA, it's so worth it!
DeleteThat is a serious haul of books and swag! I thought I'd had a good week until I saw your post! Hope they give you lots of booky fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I went a bit crazy with the library haul but I've been in a slight rut and I'm picking up books and putting them aside even though they're ones I want to read they just aren't sticking with me ya know?
DeleteNice haul - I'm jealous!! I've only managed to get to the Toronto Fair once - it was a blast - so glad you had fun
ReplyDeleteI've read those governess clubs - they were fun!! Enjoy your week and happy reading
~gaele @ I am, Indeed
Gaele, Yay! I hope you get to go again I head it was one of the biggest showings yet with all the people that went. I'll move the Governess Club books up on my list!
DeleteLook at those books! What a great variety. I will have to check out Doula. As a Doula myself, I am curious it the book is about a woman birth coach. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteMy Weekly Recap...
Belle, the author is a Doula too which is why I picked it up. I was curious to see how someone who is practicing the field their writing about puts it into a story. I hope you like it!
DeleteCongrats on the blog views...and your Amazon reviewer spot.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books! Here's MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
Thanks Laurel!
DeleteCongrats on being one of the top reviewers--woot! And what a large haul you took home this week. Enjoy your reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Rita!
DeleteWow. Lots of books. I don't even know where you are going to start. Plus that swag is wonderful. I like seeing all the interesting things people get.

I don't get a lot of swag (being Canadian makes people think shipping is too expensive when it actually can cost less to ship here than it is to ship in the USA) so I was stoked to finally get some. Thanks for dropping by Grace :)
DeleteThe Word on the Street looks like a lot of fun. I wish there was something like that here. You had a great haul!
ReplyDeleteYou never know there might be, I didn't know about it until last year and that's because I googled Toronto Book Festivals by fluke.
DeleteThat's a great haul. And the swag is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteJenea @ Books Live Forever's Sunday Post
Thanks for stopping by Jenea!
DeleteHoly cow, your library haul alone is impressive! You are going to be very busy reading, lol.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on cracking the top 10,000 reviewers on Amazon, that's fantastic.
I'm having a huge issue with not being able to stick with books right now so don't be surprised if there's another huge haul next week and thanks for stopping by Bea!
DeleteI went to my local (Saskatoon) Word on the Street Book Festival too, but mine was a little smaller haha! Great haul, looks like you got a ton of sweet stuff! Oh, I just finished reading Molly Harper's 2 naked werewolf book today (: Have an awesome week!
ReplyDeleteBookmunchies' SP & STS
OOOh I want to go to that one as well, Mr. Turning the Pages is from Prince Albert so maybe if I time it right I can kill two birds with one stone.
DeleteCongrats on cracking 10000 at amazon!! You are so busy too.... look at all those books!! Good luck reading them all!!
