Sunday Post/Salon #15

 

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 had a pretty quiet week. Tuesday, I went to my local used bookstores and bought a couple of books. Thursday, I had a video game night with some friends - we played PEAK for a bit - I am very bad at climbing the mountain, but I still had a fun time. I currently have no plans for Saturday and Sunday, hoping to read and clean.

What I Read:

I had a solo Novella Readathon last Sunday and I ended up finishing 3 Novellas during that time: The Unsolved Murder of Kevin Walsh by KJ Sweet (3 Stars), A Game of Hearts by Tigris Eden (3 Stars) and Rooting For Kiran by Meghan Monarch (3.5 Stars) - mini reviews coming soon. I also was in the mood for a graphic novel after that, so I picked up Dungeon Club #1: Roll Call (3 Stars). I started We Are All Guilty Here by Karin Slaughter last week and I am just under the halfway mark and I kind of feel like DNFing this one - I am just not enjoying it. I have also been working on Warrior Princess Assassin by Brigid Kemmerer.  

What I Checked Out From The Library:

I had nothing to return so I skipped my weekly library trip.

Books I Bought:

There is a used bookstore in my town that I visit quite regularly and I can normally find pretty good books there but this week I struck gold (in my opinion at least). I found a copy of Soul Searching by Lyla Sage which I believe has been out for just over a month and I found signed special edition copies of the first 3 books in Clio Evan's Three Fates Mafia Series. It's funny how something as simple as finding books can make my week.

    We have a few good used book stores that I donate to often. The prices of the nearest one are a bit high, but they seem popular enough.

    That does sound like a lovely haul. Anytime I get a book, no matter where it is from, makes my day!

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Thrillers

  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. October 28th: Halloween Freebie = Favorite Thrillers Fall / Halloween time is the one time of the year that I shift my focus to thrillers and mystery reads. Today, I made a list of my top ten thrillers. Did you enjoy any of these? Let me know in the comments.
