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 was another fast and busy week. Not much happened, but I'm thankful for that. Most of our TV shows are back on after the Olympics, and so adjusting my reading schedule to allow for TV watching has been an adjustment. This weekend was relaxing and I loved it! Unbelievably, I didn't get any new books this week, but hey what better way to get caught up on my TBR pile than to focus on reading them and not acquiring any new ones? Although, it wasn't really a conscious decision. I'll take it either way.

Don't forget to sign up for the 2014 Series Enders Reading Challenge! Each month there will be a giveaway for those participating with a BIG giveaway at the end of the year! Click on the picture below or the link above to find out more!
I'm also participating in Kimba's March 2014 Take Control of Your TBR Pile Challenge. I'll probably update my goals each week here like I did last year, and then do a final wrap up post with my March EOM Wrap Up.
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!
I was so tired last night that I couldn't even finish the latest episode of Reign. And that's saying something because I really enjoy it. So no reading for me at bedtime either. Good luck on the March challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis week was also a busy week for me, I hope the next one is better. Sometimes it's really nice to not receive any new books in a week! I thought I wouldn't have any books this week, but then on saturday I received 3 books and still had to add a book haul to my sunday post.
ReplyDeleteI will be participating in the mid month challenge, just have to figure out what books I need to pick up and read. :) Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading your "Top Ten Popular Authors I've Never
ReplyDeleteRead" post. I'm sure it will be fun! Maybe because I don't read a lot of
popular authors myself...not a snobby thing, but I find myself not
interested in many popular series...with some huge exceptions (like the
Jenna Fox trilogy).
Thanks for following me! I reciprocated via GFC.
Have a great week...and I need to do more reading from my TBRs...this week, I actually did some. Here's
ReplyDeleteMY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
I wanted to do the Take Control Challenge but with my Challenge COYER I couldn't do both. Good luck with it :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a slow week for me and I didn't get that many book either :)
I hope you have a great week!
and Happy Reading
Michelle
I want to do the COYER and the Take Control challenges next year. I just can't do them this year. Good luck! :)
ReplyDeleteI have heard a lot about Plum and that series, hope you're enjoying.
ReplyDeleteI NEED to do the series ending challenge!!! I have all these books that end the series but I can't seem to bring myself to read them! Funny, huh??? But I will see you around the TBR challenge!! Maybe I'll actually get to a Series Ender :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome reviews, lately, by the way!!! Have a great week!!!
I kind of miss the Olympics, but I agree, it's nice to have regular shows back too!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week of reading!
Jen @ YA Romantics
cI've been losing interest in Reign. Have you been watching Star Crossed?
ReplyDeleteI hope next week is better for you too. But yes, sometimes not adding to my TBR list helps. Seems like that happens to me every now and then too. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're able to participate. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteHey we all have our preferences. Nothing wrong with that. Thanks for stopping by and following back.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Laurel! Hope you get some more reading done!
ReplyDeleteOk I feel like an idiot. What's teh COYER challenge?
ReplyDelete2nd person to mention this COYER challenge. I've never heard of it before. I've really enjoyed the Take Control challenge. It helps me knock out some that I would otherwise put off. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteThe Stephanie Plum series is pretty funny. I love the audiobooks and I find myself laughing out loud when I'm listening to them. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. Even if you just finish one series ender you can participate in the challenge. You can sign up at any time. Hope to see you around the Take Control challenge. Thanks so much and thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteGood thing about the Olympics is that they'll be back in 2 years--for the summer ones anyway. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I am so use to calling it COYER I forget some people don't know what it is lol. Myself and Berls @ Fantasy is More fun host a challenge 3 times a year called Clean Out Your E-reader Challenge (COYER) you have a month to read all the free or nearly free books in your ereader. It's fun and we have a twitter party at the end of the month. Plus you can win prizes if you read and review. You still have time to sign up if you want to join us :) You can find the link http://www.becausereading.com/clean-e-reader-challenge-kick/
ReplyDeleteIf you can't join us this time maybe you can when we do it again in July :)
I think it can be really refreshing NOT to get any books, and the nicer it is getting even more the following week :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and Happy Reading!
My Sunday post is here
Oh yes. I've been trying to get my TBR in my possession under control. So while I haven't purposefully done a book receiving ban or anything like that, I have been more picky with choosing which books I request for review. And I just haven't bought any. I've finally gotten my TBR in my possession back in the 80s this week. So...that is a bit of a relief. I was pushing 100 there for a bit. Thanks for stopping by! And sorry I'm so late getting back to you.
