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- 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...
