The Sunday
Post is hosted by The Caffeinated Book
Reviewer. It’s a chance to recap the past week, talk about next week, and
share news.
On The Blog Last Week
- On Monday I reviewed Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick.
- On Tuesday I listed books with awesomely weird settings.
- On Wednesday I reviewed I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson.
- On Thursday I wrapped up January.
- On Saturday I showed you my accidental book haul.
On The Blog This Week
- On Monday I review Bone Gap by Laura Ruby.
- On Tuesday I list YA books that feature young characters who keep their raging hormones under control (for the most part).
- On Wednesday I review The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt.
- On Thursday I ramble about that time I read all of the Printz Award winners.
In My Reading Life
I finally finished The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. Then I read One Death, Nine Stories by Marc Aronson & Charles
R. Smith Jr. Then I read The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
In The Rest Of My Life
Five things that made me happy last week:
- My mentor approved The Giant Essay From Hell. Now I have to make the changes she wants and get it approved by the school. Then I can officially say that I have written a critical thesis.
- My accidental book haul.
- #Trumpertantrum. Pictures of Donald Trump’s head Photoshopped on babies’ bodies make me laugh because I have no life.
- Rearranging bookshelves and finding a few more books to get rid of.
- I’m making a lot of progress on reading my horde of old literary journals. Someday I will get them all read.
I hope you had a great week! See you around the
blogosphere!
Looks like you had a great week! I love accidental book hauls XD they're so much fun! Also I can't wait for Tuesday's post - I'm wracking my head for characters and came up blank ahah, so I'm interested to see who you come up with

Yeah, Tuesday’s post was really difficult. There aren't many YA books with minimal romance.

ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading your review of The Goldfinch as I haven't read it and have a love / hate relationship with Donna Tartt's books!
Thanks! I had a love/hate relationship with The Goldfinch, but overall I enjoyed it.

I keep going back and forth on Godlfinch, I really should just read the darn thing lol :)
ReplyDeleteIt’s an interesting book, but it’s huge, so it requires a serious time commitment to get through it.
