The Sunday Post ~ sharing news and books~





The Sunday Post ~ 7th 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.
I hope you all had a great week. I have been busy preparing for our vacation at the end of the month. We are going on a cruise for 10 days..wahoo! So between shopping and setting up blog posts for while I am away..it's been crazy. Plus I am super nervous about being unplugged for so long..LOL
The coffee is fresh..so grab a cup.
Please be sure and visit the blogs participating in this meme..maybe you will find your next read!


This week I brought you the following reviews:
I also posted:

  • Waiting on Wednesday~see the awesome fairy tale retelling I am waiting for here.
Coming up this week on the blog I will have reviews of:
I will also feature a guest post from David Nickle, the author of Rasputin's Bastards and a blog tour (excerpt) stop for the novel Familiar Ties by Naya Nikki. Be sure and check out my WoW pick too!

  11. I haven't read any Sarah MacLean before--will have to add her to my list. And lucky you getting Shadow of Night. It looks like everyone wants to read this one! I still need to read A Discovery of Witches.

  12. Great set of books this week! In A Fix sounds pretty good! I'm gonna have to definitely check that one out. Oooo HERE!! I really, really enjoyed that one! And free in Amazon! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! It was hard for me to be unplugged when I went away for a couple of weeks, but after a day or two, it didny even phase me. It felt good! lol

  14. Well, I think we are all in agreement. You are a busy woman, that we envy because you are going on a cruise. Take lots of pics and post your favorites, please. I'll have to live through you, cuz, there is no cruise in my future. :-)

    Can't wait to hear what you think of Struck. It looks amazing!

  18. In a Fix sounds amazing. I've never read about a human chameleon before. I'm adding it to my tbr list.

    Enjoy your books! :)

  19. Oooh I cruise!! That sounds lovely, I really hope you enjoy it! I've never been on one but I would really like to I think. I'm going to check out your reviews of Lies Beneath and Abraham Lincoln, I've read and reviewed both so I'm curious to see what you though. Can't wait to see what you think of Struck, I've been hearing good and bad things about it.

  20. Sweet! I hope you enjoy the cruise. I don't think I could do one for 10 days, I start feeling trapped. So now we know where I WOULDN'T go if zombies attacked.

    ReplyDelete

  21. I am still so jealous of your cruise. I will miss you while you're gone!

    I need to check out your review of Abraham Lincoln; I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the concept of him as a vampire hunter. I agree with many of the others, In A Fix, looks very interesting. I'll wait for your review.

    ReplyDelete

  22. Ooh! A cruise! I'm jealous. I can't wait to hear what you think of A Rogue by Any Other Name. I've been wanting to read that one for a while. Thanks for all your lovely comments on m blog! I started following you by email today. :-)

  31. Kimba, enjoy your vacation, I like your line-up. I just reviewed In A Fix for LibraryJournal. I'm excited to see what you think. I also have Shadow of Night and have for quite a while but since I'll be doing a Q&A w/Deborah on release day I'll hold off
    thanks

  32. I envy you your cruise. It took about three days to settle down and just read, and then, it was awesome! Now we're talking about the trans-Atlantic cruise, just to get away. But not sure we can.
    Penguin must have released Shadows of Night to everyone post BEA!
    Thanks so much for stopping by my STS.
