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
Hope you all had a great week! We had a great week here. There was lots of sun which means I actually got to walk around in flats for the second week in a row! It was marvelous and our dog Annie is especially enjoying the weather because she can play in the backyard again without making a mess from all the mud.
I've had an exceptional reading week this week, finishing 5 novels and 2 graphic novels with only one bad read in the lot. The blog also hit some big milestones. I published my 1300th post on the blog at the beginning of the week and also hit my 200th published post of 2014. This year is going by so fast!
Next week we're expecting snow again (damn April being fickle!) so I'm planning on lots of reviews, reading and a whole lot of cooking and I'm going to start some spring cleaning so here's hoping I can clear out some books and clothes and donate them or in the case of my book hoard, trade them in at the local used bookstore.
I hope you all have a fantastic week!

We are supposed to get snow also tomorrow. I even had to mow the lawn on Friday so I am like what is going on!!! WOW! You really got a great haul of books!! Though it seems you read fast so you'll get through them in no time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Angela :)
Delete5 books and 2 GN's, wow. Great week. Congrats on the milestones too. I think we're done with snow, but we had storms roll through and the weather has been not that great. Still, no snow... :)
ReplyDeleteLucky you Greg! I'd take storms over snow any day.
DeleteEnjoy the weather while it's still good - crazy weather. Here the nights are cold but the days are sunny and rather warm, the cats don't sleep home any more, that's a telling sign ;) I've never read Dune but always wanted to. I love the cover of the tropic serpents. Have a great week !
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly how our weather is. I'm intrigue by Dune I hate the movie because my mother over played it when I was young but I'm trying to branch out and read books I normally wouldn't.
DeleteTruly amazing, 5 books and 2 graphic novels, and hitting 1300 posts! Congratulations, I know it takes a lot of dedication.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and Happy Reading.
My Sunday Post is here
Thanks Peggy!
DeleteCongrats on the 1300th post! I see you have some Historical Romance books in your library haul. I love Historical romance! And oohh you have an Elizabeth Lowell book too! I have read a few Lowell books and I love them so much! :D
ReplyDeletemy sunday post: http://wp.me/p3v5T1-nU
Historical Romance is my go to genre when I need something light. I love the genre and this will be my first time reading Elizabeth Lowell, I hope I like her writing.
DeleteThe cover for Fighting for You caught my attention right away. I need to check that out from Goodreads :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 1300 posts. Have a good Sunday and happy reading :)
Glad to introduce you to a new book! Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteGlad you had a great week. Congrats on reaching those milestones and on wining a book on Goodreads. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat :)
DeleteWow, congrats on the post total!
ReplyDeleteI loved Firefly Lane and Fly Away...hope you do, too.
Spring cleaning sounds like a great idea....but I'll procrastinate a bit before doing anything...LOL
Here's MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
Thanks Laurel :) I wish we could procrastinate but it has to be done lol.
DeleteCongrats on the milestone! So many good books this week.
ReplyDeleteJenea @ Books Live Forever's Sunday Post
Thanks for dropping by Jenea!
DeleteWow, congratulations on your blog milestones! More power to you! And that is a huge haul! Happy reading and have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday Post :)
Thanks Camille :)
DeleteCongrats on your milestones! And look at all the lovely books...*drools* Have a wonderful week and tell Mother Nature to take that snow elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vonnie! Mother Nature is being rude and is totally ignoring my demands for no snow.
DeleteOoo Hannah makes me get the "feels" Congrats on your milestones..so exciting. Enjoy your weather, soon we will be enjoying some consistency.
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to giving her a try, I've seen so many good reviews about these two that I'm nervous about trying them in case I don't like them, as is the case a lot with me when it comes to hyped up books.
DeleteSome fantastic books! And you only had 1 bad read last week? That's excellent. I like when that happens. I hope this week is as good.
ReplyDeleteIt's been warm here too though not as nice as what you've had. However, we're only getting rain this week and not snow so I think that's a good trade off. :)
Yeah, the one bad one was a bad one indeed. 1 star and I feel really let down it could have been great but I found it was all over the place. The artwork was the only good bit.
DeleteWoha 400th post this year! That's amazing and congrats! :) You've really got some amazing skills. We have got some sun too, finally! But there might be rain again next week, which is not cool.
ReplyDeleteYou've got some amazing books and I hope you'll enjoy them :)
Tanja @ Ja čitam, a ti?
Thanks for stopping by Tanja :)
DeleteI loved your review of Lily of the Nile (Cleopatra's Daughter #1) by Stephanie Dray. I'm going to move that up on in my TBR list. I've had it on my Nook for ages.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Aww thank you Terri! I hope you get to it soon.
DeleteWhat a great week! And those books from the library--I had to write several names down so I can check out my own library tomorrow. I hope the snow doesn't stay around too long for you. Have a great week and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteAnother Week, Another Sunday Post
Woot! I love adding to other peoples tbr piles :) I hope you find some that you like!
DeleteWow congrats on the post total that is awesome! I also read The Bottom Line from NetGalley last week. It wasn't all that great to me! I'm so sick of the cold weather, it has been pretty warm here in Texas.. But will get colder tomorrow just no snow thank goodness! :)
