The Sunday Post #166

Voted "Best Blog" in 1864.

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.

On The Blog Last Week

• On Tuesday I showed you a few Stephen King books that I haven’t read yet.
• On Thursday I did the back-to-school tag.
• On Saturday I reviewed two classic children’s books. (I apologize for hating your childhood favorites.)

On The Blog This Week

• On Tuesday I mini review two young adult books.
• On Thursday I wrap up September.
• On Saturday I mini review some spooky (?) novels.

In My Reading Life

Last week, I finished Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places by Colin Dickey. It was okay. I like that the author dives deep into sociology and tries to figure out why Americans are so obsessed with ghost stories. I didn’t always like the author’s tone. (I sounded like my mother right then. “I don’t like your tone, mister.”) He gets condescending toward some of the people he interviews. I have the (possibly wrong) impression that he always thinks he’s the smartest person in the room.

Right now, I’m reading The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. I love it! It’s taking forever to read because it’s huge, and because the main character’s parents keep pissing me off. I can only handle them in small doses.

In My Internet Stalking Life

• Last week was Banned Books Week. Wendy @ Falconer's Library talks about it HERE and HERE.
• Are you an author who wants bloggers to review your book? Tracy @ Cornerfolds has a post you should read.
• Are you curious about ARCs? Marie @ Drizzle & Hurricane Books and Elley the Book Otter are talking about them.
• Chuckles @ Chuckles Book Cave discusses the pros and cons of loving book series.
• Possibly the coolest blog post ever? Briana @ Pages Unbound surveys bloggers about their stats and exposes all of our secrets.

In The Rest Of My Life

 

Five things that made me happy last week:

1. Pizza!
2. It’s for-real fall now. It’s cold! I’m wrapped up in a blanket.
3. A bunch of my favorite authors have books coming out in the next few weeks. I’m going to be broke and drowning in books. (Which is pretty much how I always live, to be honest.)
4. I made fruitcake, and it wasn’t disgusting!
5. I wrote my 1000^th blog post. This is what 5+ years of blogging looks like. (Haha, please send help. I’m so tired.)
