Sunday Post/Salon #5

The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on your blog for the week ahead. Join in weekly, bi-weekly or for a monthly wrap up.

The Sunday Salon (hosted by ReaderBuzz) is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week. It's a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 

What I Did:

I purposely had a quieter week, work has had me feeling drained so outside of that, I wanted to do a whole lot of nothing. Saturday, I went to an indie bookstore in my state where Sloan Spencer was signing and then later in the evening, I had a video game night with a couple of friends. Sunday, I am planning on another quiet day, probably going to get some cleaning done and then I am going to be joining a Coastal Magic Reading Challenge Group Read Video Chat. 

What I Read:

I finished Smolder by Tracy Solheim which was a quick read. I started and finished We Live Here Now by Sarah Pineborough which was a crazy time. I also started and finished Quests Aside by Brian Schirmer. I finished Roll For Romance by Lenora Woods and finished an audiobook for the second time ever in my life which was Drop, Cover and Hold On by Jasmine Guillory. I have also slowly been reading Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao. Finally, I started an ARC of Adveristy by Ren Browne.

Reading Goals Update:


Reading Quests Aside gave me Q for my Alphabet Challenge which I hadn't even considered when I started it. I have just H, X, Y & Z with plans for H & Y.

    *chants* Zomromcom... LOL!

    My husband was traveling all week, and with my daughter back at school and my son working nights, I was alone for much of the week. Then on Friday, we packed up my son and he went back to school, too. I didn't do much reading but will probably get more in now that both kids are gone.

      When I was looking at this post before I hit published, I knew I was forgetting something and now my copy of Zomromcom is side eyeing me for forgetting that it's my plan for Z. I hope everything went well with getting the kids back to school.

    The only book I've read with X in the title is the book by mystery writer Sue Grafton. I know there are a lot of X-Men books at my library. Good luck with X.

    And enjoy your quiet day, especially the video chat!

    You are doing so well with your reading challenges. The alphabet challenge is always the difficult one for me. I hope you have a great week!

      I thought the alphabet challenge would be harder for me to do but I ended up surprising myself with it. It's my first time doing it so I am chalking it up to beginners luck lol.

    I love quiet weeks doing a whole lot of nothing! I love that you got lots of nothing done, except for reading, of course!

    It's so nice to spend a day decompressing after a taxing work week! Good luck finding books that'll fulfill your challenge!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Am Excited To Read This Fall

Image
Top Ten Tuesday was created by  The Broke and the Bookish  in June of 2010 and was moved to  That Artsy Reader Girl  in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. August 19th: This weeks topic is supposed to be books with a high page count but I couldn't find 10 books that I either have read or want to read that are super high page count so I decided to go with Books That I Am Excited To Read This Fall. Every fall, I switch to spooky/thriller, witchy and magical reads and every year, I am super excited for it. Have you read any of these? Do you have any spooky/magical/witchy recs for me? Let me know in the comments. 1. Someone You Can Build A Nest In by John Wiswell 2. The Man Made Of Smoke by Alex North 3. You Killed Me First by John Marrs 4.

Top Ten Tuesday: Series I Need To Finish

 Top Ten Tuesday was created by  The Broke and the Bookish  in June of 2010 and was moved to  That Artsy Reader Girl  in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. August 26th: Freebie. For this weeks freebie, I decided to share a list of series that I need to finish. It was a list I was already compiling to share and while I am sharing more than 10 books, it works because the exact number of books I haven't read yet from the series I chose is exactly 10. Have you read any of these series? What kind of list did you create for the freebie? Let me know in the comments! Series 1: The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater Books I Have Read: The Raven Boys & The Dream Thieves Books I Still Need To Read: Blue Lily, Lily Blue & The Raven King Series 2: Shades Of Magic by V.E.

Down the TBR Hole #3

Image
Down The TBR Hole is a meme created by  Lost in a Story , but she has permitted  I’m Into Books  to adopt it since she is no longer blogging. I always see  Confessions of a YA Reader  do this and I have been wanting to give it a shot myself as my Goodreads to-read shelf has 672 books on it. It works like this: Go to your goodreads to-read shelf. Order on ascending date added. Take the first 5 (or 10 (or even more!) if you’re feeling adventurous) books. Of course, if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last time. Read the synopses of the books Decide: keep it or should it go This weeks books: A Princess for Christmas by Jenny Holiday Blade of Secrets by Tricia Levenseller Love, Magic & Misfortune Out of Love by Hazel Hayes The Whispering Dark by Kelly Andrew Keeping :  Getting rid of 2 and keeping 3 seems to be the way things are going to go for me.
