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 really good week. I worked hard and the week flew by for the most part. Friday night Husband and I watched The Host. I don't know why I didn't think about how difficult that book was going to be to turn into a movie. There's just too much that goes on in Melanie/Wanda's head, and the way they chose to do that in the movie was ALMOST was bad as the wolf pack scene from Breaking Dawn Part 2--but BD2 still takes the prize on that one for cheesiness. And then Saturday, I moved my biggest bookcase from one room to it's permanent home in another room. In the process I culled out some books that I think I'll be fine to get rid of, and I rearranged my current books so they're all pretty and neat. Oh and I'm so excited about going to see Catching Fire Friday--not doing a midnight showing for this one.

That's it for my shelves and recaps of my past and upcoming week. What did you add to your shelves this week? Any bookish news you want to talk about? Let me know!
Looks like a theme in this week's new books. I hope you enjoy them all. Come see what I got at Inside of a Dog and Ms. Martin Teaches Media if you get a chance. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI liked The Host better than the Twilight books, but not sure it will fare any better as a film.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy Catching Fire. I need to work out when I'm going to see it.
Nice stack. Hope you enjoy them all :)
ReplyDeleteMy haul
Wow you had an awesome week of reviews
ReplyDeleteMy StS & SP
I just added The Host to My List on Netflix, I just have to find the time to watch it. :) Can't wait though. Enjoy the new books.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.

Congratulations on the bookshelf move and the pruning! I need to do more than a little of that myself. Now I'm off to check out your TTT post, since I didn't get to that this week. Have a great week, Sandy!
ReplyDeleteThat right there is exactly why I didn't enjoy The Host movie. It just did not do well on screen as it did in the book. I rated that movie 3 of 5 stars. Overall average, but not something I care to own.
ReplyDeleteYou racked up on The Power of Praying books this week! Given you've read the earlier versions those should be a breeze to get through.
And speaking of Catching Fire.....I still have yet to get my ticket. GASP! I must do that tomorrow! (Got a discount ticket I need to exchange)
It's great that you finished your book organization, I need to do that myself.I also reserve a ticket for Catching Fire, so excited for that film.
ReplyDeleteHaha...yes, I've actually already read two out of the four of these and loved them both. So I had to jump on them when I saw the re-releases. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping Stephenie Meyer gets back to writing again so we can get the rest of the series. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ria!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was really long overdue. Now if I can just get Husband to cull through his books, we'd be set. :) Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. Definitely won't be purchasing that movie.
ReplyDeleteYep...exactly why I snatched them up. I've already read two of the four, so they should be quick reads.
Seriously??? I thought you got it back in October when me and Paula got ours. You might want to get on that ASAP before they're sold out like what happened to Kay for BD2 last year. :)
Thanks Jaime! I definitely feel better being more organized. And definitely looking forward to Catching Fire! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteFor some weird reason I can't get your comment box to show up when I am browsing using Chrome but it works with Internet Explorer.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen The Host but if it has almost the same cheese factor as Breaking Dawn part 2 it must have been quite entertaining.
Yay, for organization! I'm so dreading mine, in need of a good clear out. Hope you enjoy Catching Fire! :)
ReplyDeleteHuh...It's usually the opposite--it'll work with Chrome and not IE. Weird. I'm glad you were able to comment in the end. I love using Disqus because it allows me to really have a conversation with people willing to leave me a comment. The standard blogger commenting system doesn't alert you when I've replied back. I much prefer this way. I'll have to keep a check on that though. Thanks for letting me know.
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely cheesy. The main actress (I forget her name) did a decent job, but like I said, there's just too much that goes on in Melanie's head. It doesn't translate to film very well IMO. Thanks again for stopping by and commenting!
Yes, organization can be quite the chore, but I always feel so much better after I do it! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for Catching Fire!!! I was going to wait until Thanksgiving break, but I don't know that'd make much of a difference crowd wise. Happy reading this week!
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely crowed at the theater and our theater said it was sold out for the showing we went to, but it wasn't packed. So that was odd. But it was AWESOME! Hope you get to see it soon! Thanks for stopping by!
