The Sunday Post

 

Happy Sunday everyone!

The Sunday Post is a news meme created by CaffeinatedReviewer. I'm also linking up with Sunday Salon at ReaderBuzz. I will be posting on the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me.

Fall arrived quickly, with a still warm sun but a chilly breeze. Sweater weather has arrived and I’m not ready for it. Reading now becomes an indoor only activity and before you know it, I’ll be wearing three or four layers to keep me warm on my trips to the barn.

On the upside with more bad weather, comes more time to blog.

In September I read 3 books:
I also found time to participate in Top Ten Tuesday, Book Beginnings on Fridays, and Friday Book Blog Hop and discovered that Book Beginnings on Fridays is moving to a new home. Previously hosted by Rose City Reader, it is now hosted by Bemused & Bookish except it looks like they changed the name to Book Snippets(?). I’m not sure if I’m going to continue to participate, I wonder if it would make more sense to have my quote day be a different day entirely. I would lose traffic from joining a link-party but gain flexibility.

My first October read is going to be The Reformatory by Tananarive Due, something to set the tone for Halloween. The first few chapters made me anxious which suggests to me that this is going to be a good one.

I hope you all have a great October and, if I don't see you back here before then, Happy Halloween!

    Sweater weather arrived quickly here too, although I do love the extra excuse to curl up indoors with a good book! The Reformatory sounds like a perfect choice to kick off your October reading. Happy Reading!

Today's topic for Tuesday Top Ten hosted by ThatArtsyReaderGirl  is officially listed as the Oldest (aka Earliest Published) Books On My TBR (submitted by Nicole @ BookWyrm Knits) .

Top Ten Romantic Books & Why I Read Them

Image
Valentine's Day approaches! And I have a confession: I don't really care. I don't mean that to be facetious but the reality is I haven't got much of a romantic bone in my body. I actually like the day after Valentine's a little better, because I can buy chocolate at next to nothing because it was all poured into a heartshaped mold that stopped being relevant the moment the clock hit midnight. Given all that, it probably won't come as a shock to you that I don't read a lot of romance novels, and when I do, it's not usually the romantic elements that made me pick it up in the first place. My GoodReads 'Romance' shelf list 27 books in all, and some of them are sequels so I'm not sure they count. Because picking up romance is such a rarity for me, and it is Valentine's Day (almost), I decided my list today should be Top Ten Romantic Books & Why I Read Them . (hosted by ThatArtsyReaderGirl ) 1. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I like vampire...

Top Ten Books That Push My Comfort Zone

Today's Top Ten Tuesday list is Books I Enjoyed that Were Outside My Comfort Zone (or books you’d like to read that are outside your comfort zone!) .  I don't step outside my comfort zone often so I didn't have ten titles that I've already read to give you. Instead I decided to split my list between books I have enjoyed that were outside my comfort zone, and books I haven't read yet that are going to be outside my comfort zone whenever I get around to them. These are my top 5 books I liked that were outside my comfort zone: 1. Red White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston – Romance isn’t really my thing, and I don’t try to hide it, and I don’t hesitate to call out books when romance is inserted for seemingly no reason at all… So it was odd that I picked up a romance novel (and even watched itits movie) but I did and found it to be kind of cute. 2. Quiet Dell by Jayne Anne Phillips – This is a weird one, I picked from the library because I needed a Q entry for ...
