The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
This has been a busy week. Wednesday was our 4th anniversary (wedding not blog). It's been a great four years, and my husband is still my best friend. Back in February he gifted me with an early anniversary present--a dishwasher! WHOOOHOOO!!! And so we really took things easy--big financial goals to accomplish and all of that jazz. Oh and can't forget that today is Mother's Day. We're taking my mother-in-law out to dinner tonight and then taking my mother Tuesday night. Busy busy.

Tuesday: Top 10 Books When I Need Light & Fun
Wednesday: Waiting on While You Were Here
Thursday: Review of Love & Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs (4 Stars)

If I Stay (If I Stay, # 1)
By: Gayle Forman
Published: April 2nd 2009 by Dutton Juvenile
201 pages
Genre: YA, Contemporary
Source: Borrowed from my local library
( Goodreads | Amazon
)
Goodreads description--In a single moment, everything changes. Seventeen-year-old Mia has no memory of the accident; she can only recall riding along the snow-wet Oregon road with her family. Then, in a blink, she finds herself watching as her own damaged body is taken from the wreck...A sophisticated, layered, and heart-achingly beautiful story about the power of family and friends, the choices we all make, and the ultimate choice Mia commands.

I wasn't a fan of this book. I read it for a reading group and not one person enjoyed it. I thought it was just me at first because I had seen so many good reviews for it before reading. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI would die without my dishwasher and woo-hoo congrats on 4 years! Have a wonderful day and enjoy your new book!
ReplyDeleteAww, happy 4th anniversary! :-) A dishwasher would be lovely, but what I'd really like is a tumble dryer (for laundry I mean, not dishes lol, that would be crazy). Hope you have a lovely Mother's Day as well, and get in some time for relaxing and reading. Enjoy 'If I Stay' and have a fantastic week!
ReplyDeleteCongrats for 4 years!!! :D Exciting. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week this week!
If you'd like to stop by, I have a Sunday Post up as well:
