The Sunday Post- 2nd Edition
The Sunday Post -2nd Edition
The Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and talk about what is coming up for the week on our blog. Link up each week. My post goes live every Sunday at 12:00am (CST) and the link will remain open all week, so you can post your edition of the Sunday Post any day you like.
Good Morning. The Coffee is fresh so grab a cup!
I cannot believe it is May already and soon the kids will be out of school. A lot of my fellow bloggers are finishing up their college exams and have the whole summer full of books and jobs ahead of them.
This past week has been busy on the blog. I posted reviews of; The Eyes of Justice, an exciting crime thriller. The Life in the Land of Is, a touching memoir that is sure to change you. A creepy suspense called The Vanishing Game and a paranormal romance called Of Poseidon. I brought you a fantastic cover reveal of The First Days by Rhiannon Frater and an excerpt of literary horror, Murtuk the Holy. On Thursday I interviewed Lada Ray author of Gold Train. She is giving away a signed copy and an eBook, so be sure and enter. I also shared my Waiting on Wednesday post with you.
The week ahead looks exciting. I have some early reviews of; Big Country Sky a brand new contemporary romance series with swoon worthy cowboys. A review of paranormal romance Dark Kiss and a review of steampunk novel The Girl with the Clockwork Collar. In addition I will have a review of the highly anticipated novel Insurgent. I am also participating in the Sound of Heart Blog Tour and will feature a review and fabulous giveaway.
If you remember last week I was excited about the release of Insurgent, Sweet Evil and The Last Boyfriend. I felt like a seven year old anticipating Christmas morning and enjoyed devouring Insurgent. I will be sharing a review on each of them sometime during the month of May. I want to thank all of you who linked up for our first Sunday Post and I'm excited by all the positive response we received. I am hoping we all get to discover wonderful new books and exciting new blogs.
So what's going on in your world? Be sure and leave me a link so I can check out your edition of the Sunday Post. I hope you all have a wonderful week and read a little everyday! ~Kimba
So here are the wonderful things I received this week:

I've seen Velveteen around but I can't decide if I want to read it or not. Same with Dark Compassion.
I really need to read the Lux series, it seems like everyone loves them and I feel so out of the loop.
Great haul this week.
You got your Shadows hardcopy? I didn't know it was already out. I just checked Book Depository.
I'm currently reading Sweet Evil, and I am loving it! Hope you enjoy it too.
Oh, that's a wonderful haul! :) Etiquette for an Apocalypse sounds like a fun read! ;) I'm looking forward to your review, Kimba! Enjoy all your reads!
I'm so envy for your copy of Velveteen! Hopefully you'll love it :)
Thanks for sharing!
Monaliz @ Mind Reading?
I got Insurgent this week too! I want to read ALL of your pre-orders and Velveteen looks really good too. I'm a new email follower. I hope you'll drop by and check out what else I got this week :)

Great books! I can´t wait to read Insurgent, my copy hasn´t arrived yet. I also want to read Velveteen and Sweet Evil.
Happy reading.
Dark Compassion, Insurgent and Sweet Evil! Ahhh, good looking books you got there! All three are ones I'm looking forward to reading but I only own one of them! (Insurgent, hehe). I sooo need to read it! Haha.
You had a good haul week by the looks of it Kimba!
Hope you enjoy all of your new reads!
Here's my Letterbox Love this week!

Thanks for mentioning your Sunday Post. I'm adding my link now! I'm loving Insurgent so far and Sweet Evil is also really good! I hope you enjoy all of your books this week!
Kristan @ Lost Amongst the Shelves: STS
Yay for Sweet Evil! I just started it and already love it! Velveteen also looks really good. Great Haul this week!
I've never heard of Alibi.
Curious to see what you think of Dark Companion, since I didn't get that one on NetGalley. Oh well! Not like I don't have plenty to read. *eyes tbr pile*
Enjoy your reads!
Great stuff this week! I'm anxiously awaiting Insurgent, hope you love it!
I'm reading Big Sky Country soon too! Cowboys are really fun reads every once in awhile, I'm looking forward to that one :) Looks like you got some great books this week, happy reading! Book Savvy Babe
Nice haul there.
I haven't even decided what my next read is going to be yet.
Decisions decisions. :)
I'm anxiously awaiting Dark Compainon. Can't wait to see what you have to say about it!
Great stuff! I really enjoyed Alibi, I think Twist Literary's 'serial novella' idea is excellent and was impressed by how consistently the characters were portrayed over the course of the four parts.
Hope you like it!
I would like to thank you for taking the time to come and see all the treasures that I hoarded this week.
You got some sweet reads yourself.
Thanks,
Frishawn
WTF Are You Readng?
The Alibi series looks amazing and Velveteen looks fabulous too!!
Great haul, Kimba :)
I have alot of catchup to do with reviews, I have another six to write so I have slowed down on my reading. I am about to start an The Lady is a Vamp by Lynsay Sands. The blurb was good. Great meme kimba!! KatI have alot of catchup to do with reviews, I have another six to write so I have slowed down on my reading. I am about to start an The Lady is a Vamp by Lynsay Sands.

So many beautiful covers. That's my favorite thing about seeing what everyone got throughout the week. I can't say I've read any of these books, but I'll be keeping my eyes open for reviews on them. Happy reading!
Thanks for visiting my haul.
Velveteen looks amazing! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Do you and the kids have summer plans?
I'm curious to see what you think of Big Sky Country; I haven't enjoyed her books very much but so many people do.
Velveteen and Sweet Evil look so good. I look forward to reading your thoughts. Happy Reading.
I hear a lot about the Lux series. I really need to pick up the first book already! Great haul...thanks for stopping by my blog. =)
Ohhh Acosta! And Velveteen looks good too
Kimba, thanks for stopping by Reading Reality! So glad you liked the combined link. I followed you through Networked Blogs, too.
We'll find out how many I get to this week. It's always a question...
I'll be very interested to see your review of Etiquette for the Apocalypse. That one looks very interesting.
Dark Companion sounds awesome!! I can't wait for your review!!
Happy reading and thanks for stopping by :D
Oooh, I'm jealous that you got Sweet Evil! I can't wait to read your review. It's high on my list but I restrained myself from buying it until I have an idea of when I could actually read it. So many books too little time! I got Dark Companion too, it sounds good!
~ Jen @ A Book and a Latte - The Sunday Post: Book Haul & Blog News

Hi Kimba thanks for stopping by and commenting on My Showcase Sunday post
I'm still waiting for my copy of Insurgent to come, I must admit I still have Divergent to read. I've heard such good things about the books, so I must get cracking and get them read.
Great book haul this week!
