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 one crazy week. Friday, Husband and I got home from grocery shopping after work to find that our fridge was broken. It was literally like 5:20 and every kind of repair place closes at 5:00. UGH! Luckily, my sister was moving to an apartment about ten minutes away and let us stash our food in her fridge/freezer. What a life food saver! Then we spent Saturday getting my sister and nephew moved into the new apartment. My FitBit says I did 32 flights of stairs. Busy busy!

Goodreads description--It's been three years since the devastating accident . . . three years since Mia walked out of Adam's life forever.Now living on opposite coasts, Mia is Juilliard's rising star and Adam is LA tabloid fodder, thanks to his new rock star status and celebrity girlfriend. When Adam gets stuck in New York by himself, chance brings the couple together again, for one last night. As they explore the city that has become Mia's home, Adam and Mia revisit the past and open their hearts to the future-and each other.
Told from Adam's point of view in the spare, lyrical prose that defined If I Stay, Where She Went explores the devastation of grief, the promise of new hope, and the flame of rekindled romance.

32 flights of stairs...I want to sleep just thinking about that, lol. I hope your fridge was fixed!
ReplyDeleteI am eagerly waiting for Cress too. I haven't read Gayle Forman's first book yet though she is on my wishlist. Come see what I got this week at Inside of a Dog and Ms. Martin Teaches Media. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteLike the sound of your newest book...very intriguing. Here's my Sunday post:

Um yes, and my calves are feeling it today. Fridge STILL isn't fixed. Hopefully we'll have someone out tomorrow. UGH!
ReplyDeleteOh the first book was SO good. And I finished Where She Went last night. Also really good. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for Cress (although I STILL need to read Scarlet..)
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower.. and I am going to going to go look at the interesting stuff I see
Happy reading :)
I keep meaning to check out the Gayle Forman books...enjoy!

32 flights of stairs?! Holy smokes! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy If I Stay, I loved it. Sorry to hear about the fridge. :(
ReplyDeleteOh I really want to read If I Stay! It's been on my TBR for a long time now, but haven't gotten around to it! I hope you enjoy this second one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my STS!

Last year our fridge in the basement broke, and since I only go down there once a week to haul stuff up to the kitchen fridge..i didn't discover it until we lost a lot of meat. Eew! Not 2 weeks later our fridge in the kitchen went and couldn't be fixed...nightmare I tell you..just a nightmare. Hope yours is working again, I am loving your haul and hope your week is simply amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhere she went looks good, hope that you enjoy
ReplyDeleteUgh! That does not sound fun re. the fridge. I hope everything's fixed now, and that your sister and nephew are both happily settled.
ReplyDeleteWhere She Went sounds like a really interesting book and I love the cover - I will have to keep an eye out for it. I hope you enjoy reading it.
That's good that at least your food got to stay cold somewhere! :) I read If I Stay a while ago and I enjoyed it, though I haven't purchased Where She Went yet. I hope it's good! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! You got your exercise! It was nice of you to help. Oh, I didn't know another book was scheduled for the Lunar Chronicles. I still need to read Scarlet, but I really liked Cinder and have Scarlet to read on my Kindle. Have a good reading week!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite some hustle and bustle you got there. Fridge breaking down is always a pain in the ass, glad you had your sis to help you out there. Looking forward to see what you thought of Delirium:)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Oh yes, you need to get on that asap! Scarlet was even better than Cinder IMO. Thanks so much for the follow!
ReplyDeleteBoth of her books that I've read have been really good. I can understand why she gets the press that she does. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI know. Especially since we had just gotten home from the grocery store. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteYes! My calves are STILL sore today! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenea! We've got a repair man coming tomorrow, but geez that took forever to get it lined up since it went out on the weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend it. It definitely deserves the hype it's received. And Where She Went was really good too! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteOh geez. What a disaster! We've got a repair man coming tomorrow. Took forever to get something scheduled since it went out on the weekend. Luckily I think we've saved most of the food since my sister has let us use her fridge and freezer. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteIt was good! Finished it Saturday or Sunday. Can't remember. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteNope. No fun at all! It should be all fixed come tomorrow though.
ReplyDeleteI definitely enjoyed Where She Went. I always think it's funny when I got a book midweek and post it on my Sunday Post, but I've finished it before it even gets to Sunday. :) Thanks for stopping by!
Yes, my sister saved the day. Where She Went was definitely a good sequel to If I Stay. I liked book 1 better, but book 2 was really good too.
ReplyDeleteTell me about it! :) My legs are still feeling it today.
ReplyDeleteYep. It won't release until February 2014, but it's definitely coming. Scarlet was even better than Cinder IMO. Hope you enjoy it when you get around to it!
Oh yes. There was nothing convenient about being without our fridge/freezer for 3 days. Nope. Not cool at all! Definitely thankful to have my sister close by to save the day though.
ReplyDeleteReview of Delirium is up if you'd like to check it out! I REALLY enjoyed that book. Thanks for stopping by!
