The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. This meme was inspired in part by In My Mailbox. It’s a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
Hi there, how was your week? Things have been busy around here! I’ve been preparing to travel to NYC for Book Expo America (BEA), and TODAY I’m flying to NYC and will be there the entire coming week! To say I’m excited is a drastic understatement! There will be books, authors, parties, publishers, books, parties, bloggers, and more books — I can barely contain my excitement! *deep breath*
Weekly News
This week on the blog I hosted two blog tours: The Girl in the Clockwork Collar Tour, where I give my thoughts on a teaser quote; and the Dreamless Tour in which the author, Josephine Angelini discusses mythology vs. fairy tales! Each tour is offering giveaways. I also posted a review of The Assassin and the Pirate Lord (Throne of Glass #0.1), shared my WoW pick of the week, and participated in GReads’ TGIF meme where I list books that tackle tough issues. On Friday I posted a cover reveal and teasers for The Collector by Victoria Scott, so be sure to check it out! Also, the June linky for the YA Audiobook Challenge is up, so participants be sure to link up your reviews!
Book Haul
I was so excited to receive a package from Great Plains Publishing in the mail this week! I actually forgot that it was coming, so the package was a fun surprise :). These look awesome, thanks GPP!
Cape Town by Brenda Hammond
How to Tend a Grave by Jocelyn Shipley

Currently Reading
Hmm… these look a lot like the ones I listed last week! I’ve been so busy preparing for BEA and being out of town that I haven’t had much time to read. I hope to finish a book or two today while traveling!
What are you reading?
Upcoming
This coming week I’ll be in New York City for the BEA Bloggers Conference & Book Expo America! Whoohoooo! I’ll also be participating in Armchair BEA, which runs from June 4th-8th. I couldn’t resist participating again this year, since I had so much fun last year and met so many fantastic authors and bloggers.
In case you were wondering, I have posts scheduled for all week! Tomorrow, Tara Hudson will be visiting as part of her Arise (Hereafter #2) Blog Tour, which will be fun. My WoW pick of the week is scheduled, as always. There will be a few Armchair BEA daily topic posts, and I’m going to attempt to blog from my iPhone during BEA. I say attempt because I’m not sure how difficult it will be. The BEA posts will probably be very simple (pictures mainly) and then I’ll do a recap post(s) afterwards, once I’m back home. I’ve decided to hold off reviews until after BEA week, so no reviews this week…
Also, just a reminder that June is Audiobook Month (#JIAM), and Audiobook Week is June 25th-29th. Jen @ Devourer of Books is hosting, and I’ll be helping out here and there. I hope you join us, it’s going to be FUN, and there will be PRIZES! So get listening :).
Have a great week!
