The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It’s a chance to share news ~ A post to recap the past week on my blog and share news about what’s coming up in the week ahead.
This past week on FYFA (and in my life):
Quick trip to Tucson: My husband and I are in Tucson right now, visiting his mom, who’s in a memory care facility there. It’s been a nice visit, but it can definitely be tough to see someone you love struggling so much to understand the basics of what’s going on around her. Still, it seemed like she really brightened up with us there, so that was nice.
Since I’m in Tucson, this is going to be an abridged Sunday Post. (Sorry, I don’t have time to go searching for giveaways or pre-order campaigns, but I do have a couple of new pre-order campaigns that the authors contacted me about!)
-
What I Read:
- I’m still reading a MG manuscript from my critique partner Ari.
- I read Rea and the Blood of the Nectar and will post my review and the author’s top ten addictions list next week! Then I started reading The Verdigris Pawn.
- I listened to Phoebe and Her Unicorn in the Magic Storm (watch for my review coming soon!) and then started listening to The Last Fallen Star.
-
TV We Watched:
- Supernatural. We watched almost all of season 12 this week!
Here’s what you may have missed on the blog since my last Sunday Post:
