The Sunday Post -2nd Edition
The Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and talk about what is coming up for the week on our blog. Link up each week. My post goes live every Sunday at 12:00am (CST) and the link will remain open all week, so you can post your edition of the Sunday Post any day you like.
Good Morning. The Coffee is fresh so grab a cup!
I cannot believe it is May already and soon the kids will be out of school. A lot of my fellow bloggers are finishing up their college exams and have the whole summer full of books and jobs ahead of them.
This past week has been busy on the blog. I posted reviews of; The Eyes of Justice, an exciting crime thriller. The Life in the Land of Is, a touching memoir that is sure to change you. A creepy suspense called The Vanishing Game and a paranormal romance called Of Poseidon. I brought you a fantastic cover reveal of The First Days by Rhiannon Frater and an excerpt of literary horror, Murtuk the Holy. On Thursday I interviewed Lada Ray author of Gold Train. She is giving away a signed copy and an eBook, so be sure and enter. I also shared my Waiting on Wednesday post with you.
The week ahead looks exciting. I have some early reviews of; Big Country Sky a brand new contemporary romance series with swoon worthy cowboys. A review of paranormal romance Dark Kiss and a review of steampunk novel The Girl with the Clockwork Collar. In addition I will have a review of the highly anticipated novel Insurgent. I am also participating in the Sound of Heart Blog Tour and will feature a review and fabulous giveaway.
If you remember last week I was excited about the release of Insurgent, Sweet Evil and The Last Boyfriend. I felt like a seven year old anticipating Christmas morning and enjoyed devouring Insurgent. I will be sharing a review on each of them sometime during the month of May. I want to thank all of you who linked up for our first Sunday Post and I'm excited by all the positive response we received. I am hoping we all get to discover wonderful new books and exciting new blogs.
So what's going on in your world? Be sure and leave me a link so I can check out your edition of the Sunday Post. I hope you all have a wonderful week and read a little everyday! ~Kimba

ReplyDeleteI really need to read the Lux series, it seems like everyone loves them and I feel so out of the loop.
Great haul this week.
