Sunday Post/Salon #6

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:

Had another pretty chill week outside of work. Monday was a holiday so I got to stay home and read. Tuesday, I went to the library and then I had DnD and my character almost died - I got to do death saving rolls for the first time ever - luckily my Druid did not die but the parties Bard did. Wednesday and Thursday, I worked on some future posts and did some reading. Friday, I got my grocery shopping done. Saturday, I stayed home and got some cleaning done. Sunday, I had plans with my other DnD group but those got cancelled so I think I'm going to take some books and go Little Free Library hopping and then I am going to head to a Silent Bookclub. I am on PTO from work in the upcoming week so I am excited about that.

What I Read:

I finished 3 books this week. The Ghostwriter by Julie Clark was the first one - it's a mystery that had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The Matriarchs by Louanne Brickhouse & Jennifer Rea is a graphic novel that was super interesting. I finished Discontent by Beatriz Serrano - the book is a big mood if you have a boring office job like me. I have also been working on ARCs of Tusks & Saddles and Adversity - they are both western romances.

What I Checked Out From The Library:

There were three holds ready for me at the library this week. The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea, You Killed Me First and Direct Descendant. 

Reading Goals Update:

Not much in the way of goals movement. I do finally have all the books planned out for the rest of my alphabet challenge so I know that I will complete that by the end of the year.

    I remember being curious about The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea when I saw it in a bookshop -- hope you enjoy!

    It looks like you are moving quickly toward the completion of your yearly reading goals.

    I want to go to another Silent Reading Club. Maybe I will this fall.

      I hope you do go to a silent reading club soon, there is something so lovely about sitting and reading with a group of other people.

    That's great that you have everything planned for your alphabet challenge! I think I am on track to finish most of my challenges this year, next year I will do less!

    Sounds like a fun/chill week. I am also planning out the rest of the year and have a few empty spots I'm leaving blank for some mood reading or need to grab something for a challenge.

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. Schwab Book I Have Read: A Darker Shade of Magic Books I Still Need To Read: A Gathering Of Shadows & A Conjuring Of L...

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.
