The Sunday Post

 

Good morning!

The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer. I will be posting on the first Sunday of each month.

As the first order of business, the weather: Balmy with hail and a chance of raining frogs.

That's enough of that.

April was eventful. I participated in the A-Z Challenge (link's to their blog), a blog hop where participants have to post for one letter of the alphabet every day in the month of April (except Sunday). Blog posts can be themed or un-themed and on any topic your heart desires...I chose to post book reviews, some old and some new. So in the month of April, I posted reviews for the following 26 novels:


and my A-Z Reflections are here. 

In April, I also made time to read The Desolations of Devil's Acre by Ransom Riggs and was inspired by a fellow book bloggers to try my very first graphic novel, The Walking Dead Vol. 1 by Robert Kirkman.

This month I plan to review the following:
  • Spare by Prince Harry
  • Leviathan Wakes by James SA Corey
  • The Walking Dead Vol 1 by Robert Kirkman
  • The Desolations of Devil's Acre by Ransom Riggs
Not in that order.

And as for what I'm reading next? I don't know. I've got a bag of used books I've accumulated, a library card with Libby, a Barnes & Noble gift card, and a decision must be made. I also start working at my summer side hustle this month, so I don't yet know how or if that will affect reading time.

    I love the wide range of genres that you're tucking into and I very much hope that May is a good reading month - summer side hustle permitting:)).

      I find every genre has something to offer, although I like some better than others.

   Happy Sunday! Welcome to my Sunday Post, a weekly blog news meme hosted by  caffeinatedbookreviewer . My blog is on the small side, so I decided I'll only be posting the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. The month of February has been eventful. I've had some wild weather in my neck of the woods: real feel listed as 11 degrees one day, switching to 60s and endless rain, and then to dry windstorms that brought trees down. I successfully managed not to freeze, drown, or fly. I became an aunt to a beautiful niece, who just narrowly escaped being a leap year baby, and I'm pretty excited about her arrival. My Kindle Touch was finally lost to the ravages of time but was replaced swiftly with a Kindle Paperwhite. I also reviewed the following stories: Lethal White by Robet Galbraith Training Strategies for Dressage Riders by Charles de Kunffy What Feasts at Night by T.Kingfisher (just released!) Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith I originally planned to ...

Top Ten Books I Was Assigned to Read in School

Image
Today's Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by ThatArtsyReaderGirl , is all about Books I Was Assigned to Read in School. I've been a lifelong avid reader, but I was always that student that once a story was assigned, I was unlikely to want to read it. Like accidental reverse psychology, I can count on one hand the number of books assigned that I actually liked... three of which made today's list. 1. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck - I've read 2 Steinbeck novels, this one, and The Red Pony  and I hated them both. I don't get the fascination with him. 2. Animal Farm by George Orwell - This is about communist pigs, if you like that sort of thing which I didn't. 3. The Outsiders by SE Hinton - I know a lot of people absolutely love this book, I'm just not one of them. 4. The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings - I was too young to be reading a story this upsetting. 5. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls - This was also upsetting. 6. The Eye in the Door by Pat ...
