The Sunday Post ~sharing blog news and book haul
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 have to laugh, this weeks book haul is very eclectic which is exactly how my bookshelf looks. I read all genres from horror to romance; YA and adult. I love mixing things up! I get burned out if I read the same genre day in and day out. How about you?

you had a pretty awesome week yourself :) I am totally eyeing His Mistress by Christmas, and I'm sure I will be around plenty this coming week too, looks like you have some really fun events coming up! Book Savvy Babe
It's good to have a variety of books and genres. I refuse to narrow myself to one or two, there are too many good books out there. Enjoy!
Looking forward to what you think of The Uninvited, Kimba! It just sounds so deliciously creepy :) Also everyone talks about Lori Foster, I'd better read her too! Enjoy all your lovely books!
Ooh, Uses For Boys! I love the description of that one :) Great haul! And I'm looking forward to your review of Foretold, I won a signed copy but haven't had time to read it yet.
Here's my StS
The Uninvited sounds totally freaky!! I'll be keeping my eye out for your review on that one.
I'm not normally a romance kinda gal, but I just love the cover for His Mistress by Christmas! So pretty!! And I just love Christmas books as well.
Hope you enjoy all your goodies, Kimba!
Here's my Stacking The Shelves:

Hehehe..you just had me racing to GR to check out the blue cover and I like that one too, although this one is creepy! I read very few contemporary especially YA, and am excited about Uses for Boys..although I think it is going to be more of a heart string book.
The Uninvited looks so creepy! I like the other cover better, though, the blue one. Also, I hope Uses for Boys is sort of hilarious and quirky, which is what I imagine, because the title makes me giggle.
thanks Melissa :)
Awesome posts last week, I'm looking forward to everything you've got going on this week too. :)
Ooh I can not read a series back to back and need to leave a min of 2 weeks in between or i burn out :(
Fun!
Ha, you sound like me I am a total sucker for holiday themed books..it get's me in the holiday mood and I cannot wait to read Uninvited!
Doesn't it though, the synopsis said if you like Cronin's the Passage and I like totally freaked out and had to get it!!
Thanks Heather..are you a sucker for holiday themed books like me..i drool over them..they get me in the holiday mood!
Sweet, I read a review of book four for the Gone series, and have got to try it. Pretty When She Dies..is so good! Enjoy!
I downloaded Gone as well, I'm super curious! Oh and I also bought Pretty When She Dies and I'm really curious! Not enough time to get my halloween reads done!
Great week on your blog!

I like the cover too...i am not a huge fan of
contemporary, especially YA..but it called to me!
Lovely Haul!!! I love that you have books from all different genres because too much of a good thing can turn into a bad thing if you get tired of it. Enjoy your books and I must say that i love the Cover for Uses for Boys and the title LOL
They say fans of Cronin will love it..so i HAD to grab it!
I am so looking forward to reading it!
Ooo you won Run the Risk too! I hope you enjoy your books and I can't wait to read all of your posts as always! ^.^

Yep, my haul is a little weird this week as well. oh I see you have the Restorer up as well as Foretold and Rot and Ruin...some good books coming up this week. You know I will be by. I forgot to add the HAlloween Hop on my post. that hop is going to be crazy!
Me too on both counts!
Haha yeah, my books are all over the place. Well, technically I don't have many physical books anymore, but I definitely go through phases of what I like to read.

Hahaha, me too and she is providing a giveaway on Thursday, so i am very excited to share it :)
I KNOW! I stalk her on fb. Okay maybe I don't go quite that far. But she is very aware I am a huge fan. I have made it known LOL.
It posts on Thursday and I just read Kingdom on Friday..holy graveyards this series rocks!
I am very excited for you The Restorer review (if it's not yet posted - I haven't looked at my email subscriptions today). Such a great series! And fab book haul!
Do not feel bad, I didn't even get to yours until this morning!
You had a great week Kimba! and also received some wonderful books :) I love Lori Foster's 'Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor' series so will have to give her new book a go.
I am really keen to read you thoughts on The Uninvited, I received it a few weeks back but it doesn't seem like a book for me.
Sorry I am late stopping by! I have been running around like a mad woman this past week :)
Happy reading!
