The Sunday Post #61 ~sharing blog news and book haul
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ 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.Hello my Caffeinated Peeps! I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. It has been quite hot and humid here so I've been spending time reading. *as if that surprises you* I also discovered that Monster makes coffee flavored drinks. Now I know some of you like to get your caffeine from those energry drinks, but I think the others taste like icky medicine. So a friend had one called Mean Bean and I took a chance and bought one..holy coffee flavored goodness! *Note do not crack one open at 11:30 at night no matter how much that cold drink calls to you* I was up till 3 am jabbering. My poor husband was like what are you on?

You should love my next blogger tips and tricks it is all about writing a Negative review and tips on DNF and what to tell author/publisher.
I can't wait to have time to dig into my Bella book...I need a fun read soon:) Have a great week and resist the temptation of Monster!
Me too however my daughter doesn't like the cover..she is afraid of birds!
I usually drink like 7 cups of tea a day, my favourite teas are earl grey or fruit flavored teas. I also like caramel tea. Or hot chocolate, hot chocolate is perfect for cold days.
Oh Tonyalee I agree about the other's they taste exactly how I imagine cat pee would taste! But this was all coffee, but apparently it has extra herbs and vitamins to energize you!
As long as you are reading and happy all is good!
doesn't it look cute!
thanks Lauren!
hahaha..i really enjoy it, it was hot and I was reading and it slid right down!
Hehehe..my guilty pleasures you will find those reviews coming up in my Coffee Pot reviews feature each month.
I am really curious about Tandem and cannot wait to break it open! Thanks Evie!
thanks Laurel. What is the blog you use most often? When I Google you I am finding multiple ones. Can you give me the link(s)
I am too Kat, it sounds really different. Enjoy your week!
I like tea, a good English one when I am sick or its bitter cold outside!
Anytime..,I loved that post!
will try those one day, this is more like those Starbucks cold mocha lattes.
thanks Sonnie, those are hard to write and I figured more tips cannot hurt anyone!
I never really liked cold coffee, so this is a nice treat when i need a pick me up between my morning coffee(s) and after dinner coffee(s)..LOL
ooh yeah that may kill you double dosing like that..LOL Love on an Island was good, since it told us whose bones were in the cave!
I drink caffeine free soda when I have it..since I have a steady flow of caffeine from coffee!
This is the first and only energy drink I have ever bought or liked. I have suffered through a few sips of others my kids forced upon me and eewww!
thanks Bea! I am excited about One Perfect Night and the gift card.
I can't wait to start that 3rd Bella book. It looks SO stinking good. But must be good and read review books happening now. lol
I can't wait to read your review of Imaginable. I still haven't had the time to read it. The other ones I don't know by name, but I always look forward to your reviews. Love your tips and tricks too. I haven't had the "pleasure" of receiving any fallout from a negative review yet, but I'm sure my time will come.
You got the mother load this week too! And a gift card? That's always nice!
I've never found a coffee energy drink that I liked, but maybe I'll give that one a try. Have an awesome week, Kim!
Great book haul! Love The Sullivans and I hope that you love From This Moment On too, and I think that series just gets better and better as it goes along. I got One Perfect Night last week and can't wait to read it. I got an invite for Uncharted and I'm hoping my copy comes through from NetGalley soon because I cannot wait to read that. Enjoy your books & have a great weekend!
I had to look it up but another (short) book from Young! I still need to read Dublin! And I think I got that same Andre short, too - I'll have to double check to see if I hit the "purchase" button or not!! :D
Caffeinated Confessions got off to a good start! And a B&N gift card. That's great! And good books and interesting blog news. Good stuff!
Your little intro about the coffee you tried has me craving one of my own. I wasn't going to venture out on this rainy Sunday morning but I'm afraid the call of caffeine is too strong to resist! Thanks a lot Kimba! ;)
Some more fantastic books this week! Cheers!
Ooh I can't have a lot of caffeine, but I remember those high caffeine energy drinks from being a teenager. They were so gross, but we all drank them! A coffee flavoured one would be yummy though. :-) Some interesting looking books this week... and a B&N gift card! That was so nice of them :-) Have a lovely week!
I want to read The Hazards Of Skinning Dipping.
Great Haul
My Book Haul
Love isn't a strong enough word for how I feel about your Tips & Tricks posts. They have been lifesavers a time or two or three. Hope you have a great week!
Holly @ Words Fueled by Love
Hi, It's my first Sunday here. Looks like fun! You did have quite a book haul. Please stop by my blog if you can.

Nice haul. I really like the cover for Tandem. Tandem looks interesting. Come visit me as well.
Grace
Excellent haul! I especially like the look of Tandem. Enjoy!
Happy Sunday! It's warm and humid here too. What a great lineup of books. Those Belle Andre books look really good and I have a few on my e-reader. Enjoy!
YAY for another Blogger Tips and Tricks post! I love those. Also, I didn't comment on it, but I loved your DNF post. I struggle with DNFing...not so much because I can't complete something, but most of the time I have a hard time putting into words for the publisher what I'm struggling with. I'll work on it. Got two at least right now that I need to find a way to DNF. AH! Thanks for the boost to find a way--I know I'll feel so much lighter when those two aren't hanging over my head.
Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Know
Ha -- my husband always falls asleep while I am talking to him. I should take it personally, but I don't. I'm so excited about Tandem!
Coffee or not, those Monster drinks are awful! LOL glad you enjoy them though! And it's been humid here too.
I want to read the Hazards of Skinny Dipping! Awesome haul. Have a good week :)
