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.
Sorry I didn't get a Sunday Post up last week. My father-in-law passed away Saturday, July 4th. He was a very private man so I wont go into any details, but needless to say, it's been a rough last two weeks for our family. I probably wouldn't have had any posts up over the past week had they not been prepped ahead of time.
