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

Tuesday- Top Ten Tuesday- Books I Would Take on a Desert Island

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- 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- 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.  ...

Top Ten Tuesday- Book characters linked to Halloween candy!!

Welcome Back! I know I’ve been saying that I will be back and blogging more. Life happened last week, I had an appointment last week, and I just got lazy after that. I’m planning to be back more this week and get posting again this week. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl .  This was born out of a love of lists and bringing the bookish community together. This week is a Halloween Freebie. I’m not into the horror or mystery genres. I wanted to do my top 8 Halloween candies and pick a character that reminds me of them. 1- Chocolate Rhys from A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas because he is smooth. This was a no brainier for me. Rhys is smooth, and he always knows what to say. He is charming and flirtatious so he was reminds me of chocolate no question. 2- Reese’s cups Claudia from Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills because she is sweet but has the determination to get what she wants. I read this book ...
