The Sunday Post!

Welcome back! Today I am taking part in the weekly memes The Sunday Post hosted by caffeinatedbookreviewerand Stacking The Shelves hosted by .tyngasreviews. I have had a great time coming up with the updates for these posts in the last few weeks and so I will keep doing them.



Life

This week was crazy for me because I had a a work blog due. While I enjoyed doing the post, it was more research than I had allotted for, so I just needed to spend more time on the blog than normal. Other than that it was an easy week. I got some read in and I got a new chapter up for my fanfic. Yesterday, we spent a lot of time in the backyard and shoveling stone for the yard.

Read
I just finished China Rich Girlfriend earlier today!

All For One Alex &Eliza #3 is still so much fun and I think it is my favorite book of the trilogy still. Currently, I am on page 184/391

I read some The Princess and the Fangirl and I am 50% done. Rather than pushing it for the next few days, I decided to just extend this book into May as I am ahead in my reading challenge with 15/30 finished.

Sky Without Stars is such a roller coaster and I love it so much. As of this moment I am 45% done now and have come to the same conclusion as above.

For Next Week

I plan on starting Rich People Problems by Kevin Kwan to close out this trilogy. May first is the middle of the week, but I am not starting a tbr for May except for Romanov. If you want to buddy read this book feel free to join this Goodreads Group Thread. Three books is a lot for me right now, so I want to see where I am at once this week is over.

Top Five Tuesday- Top Five Books I need to read in 2019. The topic for this week is sequels I need to read. I don't really have that many as I tend to binge series or I need to read the start of the series. This was a topic I missed, but I am very excited to do the topic.

Wednesday- Can't Wait Wednesday

Thursday or Friday- Comics Will Break Your Heart by Faith Erin Hicks (Book Review) .

Music of the week

I listened to one of my favorite musicals Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 this week. This is a musical I have missed so much and I need to add it back into my rotation.

The Prom is a fantastic new musical and I love it so much. I love the cast recording  because it gives you a look at the story without revealing the whole thing.

New reads

Every single one of these reads came from my mother. She was giving a box to charity, and I grabbed all of these. None of these are YA but I still think they looked like fun.

1- The Cafe by the Sea by Jenny Colgan

2- Til Death Do Us Part by Amanda Quick

3- All Summer Long by Dorothea Benton Frank

4- Lunch in Paris by Elizabeth Band

    I’m a monogamous reader, so I’m never sure how people can read several books simultaneously. I’m glad you are enjoying them though

    Have a great reading week

    the Cafe by the Sea turns out good- sounds like fun. I've seen those Colgan books around now and then and the setting looks fun. And yay for fanfiction- do you post it anywhere?

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday –Favorite Couples (Valentine’s Day /Love Freebie)

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl. . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. I love doing this meme because it gives me a chance to bond with other bloggers. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will make a post with our list on the topic, or a different one. This week it was Valentines / Love, so I wanted to do a post on favorite couples. I may have done a similar post last year, but I know that there are some new couples on this list.  1- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy- Pride & Prejudice   This is the only classic couple on this list. I enjoy their relationship because the two characters have little in common, and yet by the end of the novel, they make it work. As you read Pride & Prejudice, you get to see these two find the love each of them was missing. 2- Cath and Levi–Fangirl One of my favorite YA novels needed to appear on this list. I love Cath and Levi becau...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of  the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov  by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...
