The Sunday Post!


Welcome back! Today I will link up to The Sunday Post hosted by /caffeinatedbookreviewer and Stacking the Shelves hosted by tyngasreviews.

Life

This week was busier than usual because I ended up going to Peter Pan Jr rehearsals in the afternoon so I could  work with the music cues. The show opens this coming Friday, and this week is Tech Week, which is a four days where the cast will be able to work with lights, sound, mics, costumes, makeup, and basically run the show and get notes. The cast is 3rd-8th graders. I've been helping for years and I love it, although because I love Peter Pan, I have a soft spot for this show in particular. Other than that it was a relaxing week.

Read

I started Rich People Problems by  Kevin Kwan on Monday. I am 21% done, and I already love this book. I might not love it as much as I loved China Rich Girlfriend, but it's still early. 

All For One was the plan to finish last week, but I still have like 60 some pages to go so that will be this week. I am enjoying hearing about Maria even though I love the character of Eliza and I love Alex and Eliza together.

I read more of The Princess and the Fangirl this week. I am 68% done and am due to review this next week; I feel like I should get it done, but I must wait and see.

Sky Without Stars is still very much a wild ride that I am so here for. I am 61% done so I'm on track to finish this book this month!

On The Blog

Every review I meant to post is now pushed back a week. I  just honestly ran out of time to get my review of Comics Will Break Your Heart ready.

Sunday- The Sunday Post

Monday- Bookending Spring- The Spring Cleaning Booktag
Bookending Spring- The Productivity Booktag

Wednesday- CWW- In the Time We Lost

Sunday- April Wrapup & May TBR

New books

I got some new books this week. Both of these are Ebooks.

Valencia and Valentine by Suzy Krause (Free Prime Read for May)

I was drawn to this because it looks like a tale about female friendship and I love that.

The Neverland Wars (The Neverland Wars #1) by Audrey Greathouse.

This was a whim buy because it was only 99 cents when I was looking at Peter Pan retellings. I was drawn to it because I love that the main character is a high school student. I can't wait to read this, probably this summer, but definitely before the end of the year.

Next week

I am busier this week but I want to keep up with the blog here.

Monday- Sumner of Love Chapter 2. This is my Anastasia Modern Summer Camp AU fan fiction. The chapter has been live for a few weeks on my Ao3, but I will post it here tomorrow.

Tuesday- Top Ten Tuesday- Characters that Remind Me of Myself- I can't wait for this one!

Wednesday- Can't Wait Wednesday

Thursday or Friday- Comics Will Break Your Heart by Faith Erin Hicks Review

Thanks for reading!

    Good luck with the Peter Pan show! I've never read a Peter Pan retelling but it seems like a world rife with good retelling possibilities!

    Americans seem to take their school productions so seriously! I hope it turns out great.

    Have a great reading week

    I don't know how you can read more than one book at a time. I can only do one book and one audio. Have a nice weekend. Enjoy your new reads!

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  2- Miriam Kendrick from C

Top Ten Tuesday- Favorite Books of the Year Part 1 (12-21)

    Hi! Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @ thatartsyreadergirl . The purpose of this meme was to bring the book blogging community together and foster our love of lists. Each week, Jana posts a topic, and we readers respond based on that prompt. This week our topic is a freebie, so I decided to make my list of my top ten reads part one.   Middle Grade 12- Never After by Melissa de la Cruz I'm almost done with this book. It's a duology, and I loved the new twist on fairy tales.    YA 13- Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith I read this early in the year and it stuck with me. This YA Contemporary about gaming and the culture of the gaming industry was fantastic.  14- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It took me years to read this book but I really enjoyed it. I love the unique narrator, the characters, and the story.  15- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas This is another backlist release. I loved this book, and I knew when I read it that it had the potential to be on this list. I still thi

2019 Book Resolutions Tag!

Hey everyone! So Thursdays on the blog I am going to post a new tag. I think tags are so much fun, and I enjoy the time to reflect on what I’ve read in the past, or what I want to read. Images come from Goodreads. I grabbed the questions from  this blog 1. An author you’d like to read (that you’ve never read before). Leigh Bardugo! I have heard such great things about the Grisha verse, so I want to see if it lives up to all the hype. I have a feeling it will, and I am intrigued by the world. I got the first three books in the series as one large Ebook , so I ’m going to start that next month. I can’t wait to go on the journey and be immersed in a new series!  2. A book you’d like to read. Romanov by Nadine Brandes I love Anastasia and the Romanov family. This looks like such a fantastic retelling. I am drawn in just reading the blurb on Goodreads.  3. A classic you’d like to read. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I’ve had the Barnes and Nobel edition of
