The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
It's a chance to share news - a post to recap the past week on your blog,
showcase books and things we have received, and share news about what is
coming up on your blog in the week ahead. You can find the info here:
- Happy Easter to those who celebrate.
- I had a time commenting on Blogger blogs all week. On the pc it was fine but trying to comment via iPad or phone was a no-go. I saw Heidi at Rainy Day Ramblings mentioned having the same issue... ever since the latest Apple update. I hadn't connected the two but it makes sense. So, I imagine others will have the same issue commenting here. Commenting on certain blogs might be a challenge now since I'm at the office all day and can't comment from there (our firewalls are no joke). I'll just have to set aside time in the evenings for comments.
- I hit up my favorite used bookstore Friday night (it's huuuuge!) and while sometimes I leave with nothing, this time I hit the jackpot. I think I ended up with about 12 books. And while I'm not usually the biggest fan of used books (yes, I'm that particular about my books LOL) these were all in almost pristine condition. Score!
- In exactly one week I'll be sitting poolside, with a stack of books beside me and a fruity drink in hand. I'm counting the days, y'all!
I love this song but when it comes to the video... well, grab your tissues. (I'm not crying, you're crying *wipes away tears*)
WHAT I READ IN THE LAST WEEK:
WHAT I'M CURRENTLY READING:
PHYSICAL BOOKS:
My Book Depository order arrived and I'm so happy to have this one in my hands. I'm sure it's going to be emotional but I'm excited to read it.
And then there's my book haul from Friday night's jaunt to the used book store. Big score!

How was your week? Any new books? Any news to share?
I'd love to hear about it!
Why must dogs always meet this fate! *sob*. I read almost every book you hauled, with the exception of the Aguirre books (which have me singing 90s boy band songs, thank you). They were all good. I hope you enjoy them all on your vacay.
ReplyDeleteI actually thought of you the first time I saw the video, Sam. I found it so bittersweet - the way her father provided that same kind of friend/companionship to her daughter as he did for her all those years ago. So sweet. I really enjoyed that Ann Aguirre trilogy and was happy to find the physical copies.
DeleteWhere are you vacationing??? I want to live vicariously through you!
ReplyDeleteThis is our annual R&R trip down to our favorite resort in Orlando. It's close (we're about a 2.5 hour drive from Orlando) and we love the resort. Day after day of poolside reading... heaven! Plus we combine the trip with our anniversary so that always makes it more special. :)
DeleteYay for your upcoming vacation! I hope you have a wonderful time and that of course you gets tons of reading done. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty impressive used bookstore haul too. Lots of good reads in there.
And YES to your totally random, lol!
I always pack a stack of books with me and then end up people watching and napping. LOL We'll see how much reading I get done this time... :)
DeleteI'm super picky about used books too. Enjoy your vaca!
ReplyDeleteGlad to know I'm not the only one! :)
DeleteTanya you made me CRY!!!!!! As a dog owner you broke my heart here. Now back on that haul of yours this is big!!! But you should have enough to read alongside the pool :-)
ReplyDeleteI warned everyone to have the tissues ready! LOL I just loved the way her father provided that same kind of friend/companionship to her daughter as he did for her all those years ago. So sweet. I know, I very rarely ever do book hauls like that! It's usually just 1 or 2 here and there. But I certainly have plenty to read by the pool!
DeleteInteresting, today I can comment! Yeah! I could comment one day last week on my computer and the next I couldn’t even do that. Hopefully the issue is fixed, it was so frustrating! Wow! You will have plenty to read for awhile. Hope you have a lovely vacation!
ReplyDeleteSomeone else mentioned clearing the browser cache on my ipad and that worked briefly. *sigh* So annoying. Makes me wonder if I'll be able to do any commenting at all while I'm on vacation.
DeleteI hadn't noticed a commenting issue but I will certainly see if there are issues next time I go on my tablet. I'm jealous that you have an awesome used bookstore to shop at, I don't really have that. And I refuse to watch the video if it requires tissues, I cry at everything and I am not ready for that this evening.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't go to the used Bookstore often (because I'm obnoxiously picky about my books LOL) but it really is an awesome store. Good thing you skipped the video!!
DeleteWoo hoo for The Boy Who Steals Houses!! And for awesome used bookstore finds!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
I'm so excited for it, Nicole!
DeleteHappy Easter! Score on the used book store haul! And yay for an upcoming vacation. Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace! I am *so* ready for the get-away.
DeleteHave fun on Vacation!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeletePoolside sounds great! Vacation coming up? And used bookstores... I love browsing through 'em!
ReplyDeleteJourney haha! I saw them in detroit... good times.
Yep, we do a getaway every year for our anniversary. It's a week of R&R and I am so ready. I saw Steve Perry many years ago... would have loved to have seen the whole band, though!
DeleteWhat a great haul! I found clearing my chance on my IPad fixed the issues with commenting, it might be worth a try for you.
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week, and vacation
Thanks for the tip!! I'm going to give that a try.
DeleteOooh, are you going somewhere nice on holiday?
ReplyDeleteI used to love used bookstores but since becoming hardcore addicted to my kindle I just don't bother. :/
12 books in awesome condition is definitely a great score!
I love the Bastille singers voice... I can listen to him sing all day.
We're heading down to Orlando for our yearly R&R trip. Nothing but relaxing by the pool, reading, cooling off in the pool, sipping on fruity drinks... plus it's our anniversary so that makes it even better. :)
DeleteSame here, Nicci! I love his voice!
Ooh your upcoming vacation sounds fantastic! That's an awesome book haul - and I need to order The Boy Who Steals Houses. I haven't seen that video, but I love the song!!!

I just don't get tired of listening to that Bastille song. And I'm excited to read The Boy Who Steals Houses!
DeleteHaha, that random is very true! I hope the time between now and vacation goes quickly. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks Aj! Five days and counting... LOL
DeleteAwesome haul!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deanna - I was surprised at many great books I was finding!
DeleteI have an android phone so no problems there commenting. I do have a MacBook, but I use the Chrome browser and someone else said they switched to Chrome and problem went away. Hope you had a lovely Easter.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be a lot easier if I could do all my commenting on the pc but that's just not always feasible. Hopefully it fixes itself soon.
DeleteI've been able to comment these past few days. I wonder what happened. And being by the pool and in the pool is always awesome! I hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGenesis @ Whispering Chapters
It's weird how some are affected and some aren't. Oh well, I'm finding some work-arounds so it's good. :) And I'm so ready for some poolside reading! :)
DeleteYeah, I can't comment on blogs on Blogger when I'm at work either. My phone just won't do it. I type in the comment and post, and then it just won't post, so I've stopped frustrating myself and just comment at night.
ReplyDeleteOh, love to read by the pool with a cool drink! Enjoy! :)
You too, huh? It's wreaking havoc with my commenting. Such a pain.
DeleteI'm counting down the days till I'm poolside with that drink!
You're reading some great books! Also, I love that Laura Kaye Hard Ink series. Enjoy your vacay at the pool!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post
I'm so glad to hear that about the Laura Kaye series! I've met her once but never read anything by her. Now I'm even more excited to start the series. :)
DeleteSorry about the comment frustrations, but it does sound like you hit the jackpot at the bookstore! Have fun reading books by the pool :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks... I think I'm now down to counting the hours. LOL
DeleteYay for an upcoming vacation! I updated my Mac and I've had a ton of problems lately. I haven't tried blog hopping from my iPad but I'll try and see if I had the same problems. Oh, 99 days is MESSY but like a good Messy. I love messy so I enjoyed it. (oh, I finished that Peter Pan NA retelling! I'm working on my review!)
ReplyDeleteTina @ As Told By Tina
I swaer, I get to where I dread updates. They seem to cause more problems than they fix. Gah!
DeleteI loved 99 Days when I read it several years ago. I know a lot of people have issues with Cotugno's books but I love the fact that it shows real people making bad decisions and dealing with the consequences. That's real life! People screw up. I plan on reading 9 Days & 9 Nights soon and want to reread 99 Days so I was thrilled so find such a pristine copy. :)
Can't wait to read your review!
YES, when Journey comes on - I sing along!
ReplyDelete12 books! That was a great haul. I love book shopping and try to go with my daughter as she loves it even more than me. She is able to read more right now than me and I am jealous. Happy Easter a ton late! =)
Mary
I was so thrilled with my haul from the used bookstore! I rarely go because I'm picky about the condition of my books. But there were like new!
