The Sunday Post #129


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. It’s Monday, What Are You Reading? is hosted by Book Date. I get to tell you what I’ve read recently.




Good news! You still have 1 day to accomplish your 2017 resolutions!





On The Blog Last Week







On The Blog This Week


  • On Monday I review The Secret History by Donna Tartt.
  • On Tuesday I list some awesome new-to-me authors.
  • On Wednesday I review Marrow Island by Alexis M. Smith.
  • On Thursday I wrap up December.
  • On Friday there might be something? I don’t know yet. I’m blogging as fast as I can!
  • On Saturday there’s a book haul.





In My Reading Life


I finally finished A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab. Holy crap, that was a big book. Right now, I’m desperately trying to finish The Wolf Road by Beth Lewis. I want to finish it before next year.






In The Rest Of My Life


Five things that made me happy last week:

  1. Christmas!
  2. Re-watching Harry Potter movies for the millionth time.
  3. I got a new phone! It’s a Samsung Galaxy. I’m still trying to figure out how to use it.
  4. Since I have a phone, I can actually use my Instagram account.
  5. All the 2017 wrap-up posts are making my TBR list explode. You guys are so good at making me buy books.





Take care of yourselves and be kind to each other! See you around the blogosphere!

  1. Yay for getting a new phone! My sister keeps bugging me to get a smartphone, she says I'm missing out on so much! Like Instagram!

  2. Love what you did with your graphic! So fun! I am on my third Galaxy and I am happy with it. I always get the phone my daughter has (though mine is a 6 and her's is the 8 Edge) so she can tell me how to do things. This past week has been such a book love fest. I enjoyed so many year end posts and had so much fun making my own lists. Happy New Year!

  12. I have got to read more this year! I'm not sure where I'll find the time but I need to do it to tackle the tbr. My goals for the year are quite lofty so I need to keep motivation on. I was so busy with these festive blog posts and setting up 2018 challenges that I didn't watch a single film! Here's to a great reading year!

  17. Love the balloons on the graphic. So fun. :) I've heard amazing things about A Conjuring of Light but I've yet to read anything by Schwab. Hooray for the new phone! The first few weeks of trying to figure it all out are always fun.
