The Sunday Post ~ sharing news and books~





The Sunday Post ~ 7th Edition
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It's a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.
I hope you all had a great week. I have been busy preparing for our vacation at the end of the month. We are going on a cruise for 10 days..wahoo! So between shopping and setting up blog posts for while I am away..it's been crazy. Plus I am super nervous about being unplugged for so long..LOL
The coffee is fresh..so grab a cup.
Please be sure and visit the blogs participating in this meme..maybe you will find your next read!

Hahaha, we are away for a week in the end of the month too, and I'm preparing posts like crazy, never mind packing! :))) Love that you've got In a Fix and the rest of Sarah Maclean. Enjoy! You have to read Sherry Thomas or Loretta Chase's latest books next - they are totally gorgeous! :)

I am jealous that you have In a Fix! I have The Ravenous Dead, too - I loved the first book in the series!

I hope you have a blast on your cruise!

I haven't read any Sarah MacLean before--will have to add her to my list. And lucky you getting Shadow of Night. It looks like everyone wants to read this one! I still need to read A Discovery of Witches.

Well, I think we are all in agreement. You are a busy woman, that we envy because you are going on a cruise. Take lots of pics and post your favorites, please. I'll have to live through you, cuz, there is no cruise in my future. :-)

Seers, In a Fix and The Ravenous Dead look like my cups of tea. I hope you enjoy them all and can't wait to here how wonderful (or not) they all are :)

Here is my weekly round up

I hope you have a fantastic time on your cruise! I've never been on one, but I'd love to someday.

Can't wait to hear what you think of Struck. It looks amazing!

In a Fix sounds amazing. I've never read about a human chameleon before. I'm adding it to my tbr list.

Enjoy your books! :)

Oooh I cruise!! That sounds lovely, I really hope you enjoy it! I've never been on one but I would really like to I think. I'm going to check out your reviews of Lies Beneath and Abraham Lincoln, I've read and reviewed both so I'm curious to see what you though. Can't wait to see what you think of Struck, I've been hearing good and bad things about it.

Sweet! I hope you enjoy the cruise. I don't think I could do one for 10 days, I start feeling trapped. So now we know where I WOULDN'T go if zombies attacked.

I am still so jealous of your cruise. I will miss you while you're gone!

I need to check out your review of Abraham Lincoln; I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the concept of him as a vampire hunter. I agree with many of the others, In A Fix, looks very interesting. I'll wait for your review.

Ooh! A cruise! I'm jealous. I can't wait to hear what you think of A Rogue by Any Other Name. I've been wanting to read that one for a while. Thanks for all your lovely comments on m blog! I started following you by email today. :-)

Ooh, a cruise sounds one. I don't know what I'd do without the internet for that long, but I think it would be nice to get away for a bit, so I hope you have a blast!!

Looks like you had a great week. I always love these wrap-ups. I'm off to check out some of the links. Thanks for sharing!

Kimba, enjoy your vacation, I like your line-up. I just reviewed In A Fix for LibraryJournal. I'm excited to see what you think. I also have Shadow of Night and have for quite a while but since I'll be doing a Q&A w/Deborah on release day I'll hold off
thanks

I envy you your cruise. It took about three days to settle down and just read, and then, it was awesome! Now we're talking about the trans-Atlantic cruise, just to get away. But not sure we can.
Penguin must have released Shadows of Night to everyone post BEA!
Thanks so much for stopping by my STS.

Wow...a ten day cruise?! Enjoy! ^_^ Can't wait to read your thoughts on STRUCK as well. Looks good. Happy reading!
