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.
