The Sunday Post #120


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 The Blog This Week


  • On Monday I review Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory by Caitlin Doughty.
  • On Tuesday I show you some of the creepy books on my TBR list.
  • On Wednesday I review The One Hundred Nights of Hero by Isabel Greenberg.
  • On Thursday I wrap up October.





In My Reading Life


Last week was #AutumnReadathon, so I read a ton of short books. I finished The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill. Then I reread When Zachary Beaver Came to Town by Kimberly Willis Holt. Then I read The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson and Fatty Legs by Christy Jordan-Fenton, et al. Right now, I’m reading All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld.










In The Rest Of My Life


Five things that made me happy last week:

  1. I tried caramel M&Ms. They mostly taste like sticky regular M&Ms, but I like them.
  2. #AutumnReadathon has been fun. I love going on Twitter and seeing what everybody is reading.
  3. I only have 6 unread books on my TBR shelf right now. I’ve been so good about not buying a zillion books. A few of my unread books are fat bastards, though. It’ll probably take me months to finish them.
  4. I’ve been watching Halloween-themed baking competitions on TV. Halloween and food are two of my favorite things ever.
  5. 500 Bloglovin’ followers!







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

    I feel like the Food Network is only showing Halloween baking competitions for the past few weeks! They're fun, though.

  7. I am a little addicted to the Caramel M&M's. Luckily, they aren't too easy to find in the stores here yet. Only 6 unread books on your shelf? I wish I could say the same . . . Maybe someday.

    I hope you have a great week! Happy reading!

  19. I would be happy to get under 2000 TBR books. I can't imagine having only six. I will be so glad when Halloween is over and my beloved Food Network stops doing Halloween themed shows 24/7. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

  21. Wow, congrats to 500 followers, that's awesome!

    And also welcome to the TBR under 10 club! I am still trying to get rid of my TBR for good until the end of the year so I can start buying again :D But the last books all seem to be bricks^^ I see how I go with that!

    Caramel M&Ms.. I didn't know they existed :D

  26. I didn't know caramel m&ms were a thing?? And oh gosh, I've also gotten hooked on the Halloween baking shows, haha. I'm kind of sad they won't be on anymore now that Halloween is over!

  27. Sounds like you got a lot read for that readathon. I don't think I've seen caramel m&ms here before, good to hear they were good. I didn't realize Halloween baking competitions were a thing, sounds fun. I like cooking, but actually hardly ever watch cooking shows.
