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.
Hello! Thanks for stopping by, this post covers the past 2 weeks. As you can see, I’ve had to slow down on the blog. I’m not going to let myself feel guilty though (I’m going to keep telling myself that until it works). I’m really excited to be working as a publicist, I love my clients. Also, I’m thrilled to be working as a PR Intern with Month9Books! Seriously, I have to pinch myself, because I get to work with amazing people. I’m adjusting, and it’s been hard to blog regularly… but I know things will settle down and I’ll get into a rhythm again, so please bear with me!
Here’s what I’ve posted on the blog since last time:
News
- Cover Reveal: The Dragon Empire by Heather McCorkle
- Tour Kick-Off & Giveaway: The Night the Moon Ate My Room!
- My WoW pick of the week! (1/16/13)
- Audiobook Review: Vanish (Firelight #2) by Sophie Jordan
- My WoW pick fo the week (1/23/13)
- 2013 YA Audiobook Challenge: January Linkup
- Interview & Book Trailer: What the Spell? by Brittany Geragotelis

Ah, you just need to try new narrators! Unfortunately some narrators can ruin a story… but just try new ones till you find ones you like. The library is a great resource.

I’ve heard great things about his books. The Fury is huge (600+pages), so it’s a bit intimidating but I’m looking forward to it!

I really can’t wait to read Siege and Storm as well. I eeked out when it came in the mail for me last week. My husband gave me the “you are insane” look. 🙂 Enjoy your books!

The cover for The Fury creeps me out. I am reading Pivot Point right now, but am planning to move to Mila 2.0 next. I hope that you are enjoying The Madman’s Daughter. I really liked it.

You definitely got some great books in there, enjoy!
I understand about needing to slow down the blog and trying not to feel guilty about it. I get busy with teaching and editing and my blog slows way down. It happens to most of us at some or another.

I got Madman’s Daughter too. How are you liking it so far? I need to read Shadow and Bone still. I hear it’s amazing. Hope you enjoy all your books. My STS/Sunday Post
Awesome update and look at that haul! Happy Reading! My Sunday Edition @ Paulette’s Papers
I am not really into audio books but was convinced to listen to Gone Girl and it blew me away. If all audio books are as strong as that one, plan on listening to them more often.
