The Sunday Post #101


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 April! And Happy Easter to those who celebrate. I'll be spending the day hoping I don't encounter any April Fools shenanigans (note to self: avoid Facebook at all costs) and wondering why April Fools is even still a thing.

  • The giveaway for my third blogoversary ended and congrats go to Carol for winning! A copy of The Nightingale is on its way to Carol now. Big thank you's to everyone who entered!


  • The cover of the Becky Albertalli + Adam Silvera collab was revealed this week and I *love* it! I am so ready for this book and October seems so far away. What do you think of the cover?


  • Have y'all seen the new Epic Reads bookmojis?? They've launched a new Epic Reads Emoji Keyboard and they're adorable! Several are based on Veronica Roth's Carve the Mark, which I never read, but the rest are just so cute! Plus they'll be releasing new emoji packs each month. I've already downloaded the initial release and can't wait to see what comes next. :)

WHAT I READ IN THE LAST WEEK:
What Happened - Hillary Rodham Clinton
A fascinating listening experience.

WHAT I'M CURRENTLY READING
 Alex, Approximately - Jenn Bennett
Still reading this one. I swear it has nothing to do with the book (the fact that I've been reading it a week and am roughly 100 pages in), but work and other issues have kept me from doing much reading this week.

    
KINDLE BOOKS:

Royally Raised - Emma Chase
So excited for this short story companion to the Royally series! I can't get enough of these characters. :) Note: GoodReads shows this as Royally #2.5 but on Emma's website she considers it #4, which makes more sense considering the time frame.

eARCs FOR REVIEW:
    
One Small Thing - Erin Watt
Release date: June 26, 2018
The Fragile Ordinary - Samantha Young
Release date: June 26, 2018





How was your week? Any new books? Any news to share? 
I'd love to hear about it!

  2. I hate April Fools, I just spend the day doubting the news which is the last thing we need right now anyway. The cover looks gorgeous!

    1. OMG it's such an absurd "holiday." And you're so right... as if we need more "fake news" at this point. Ugh!

  3. Those emojis are awesome. I have to find them. That cover was EVERYWHERE, but I do think it's awesome. I am not a Silvera fan, but will probably read it, because I love Albertalli so much. Your eARC haul is so awesome. Those are two books I hope to read. Can't wait to hear what you think.

    1. Aren't those emojis the cutest? I'm pretty sure the email said both the Apple and Google app stores have them. I've actually never read anything from Silvera... but I *love* Becky Albertalli so that's good enough for me. LOL I hope you get those ARCs, too! I'm excited to read both.

  4. I don't understand April fools either... I'm having a quiet Easter trying to avoid falling off the weight loss wagon into a gallon of cadbury's chocolate.
    I really need to read Emma Chase's 'Royally' series! I say it a lot but they need to be high on my book buying list when I finally get the house situation sorted and can be cut loose on the book buying again!

    1. Hope you managed to avoid all the Easter goodies yesterday!

  9. Happy Easter!

    I hope the Erin Watt book is good. I've read all of the Royals except the last one and When it's real by them.

    I think you should read Sarina Bowen's Bittersweet next but I'm biased and I LOVED Griffin, the grumpy farmer.

    1. I actually haven’t read the Royals series yet! I need to get on that - especially since I feel like *everyone* has read the books except me. LOL And I can’t wait to start Bittersweet. I love me some Sarina Bowen.

      I’ve actually never read anything by Silvera but just knowing that Becky is involved has me excited. :)

  11. Happy Easter!! And yes- why IS April Fools still a thing? Maybe some of these things shoud, like, expire at some point??

    Those emojis look fun. And Clinton's book looks fun, although I'm afraid I'll get mad about the election again if I read it lol.

    Hope your week ahead is a great one! :)

    1. Yes! Can we start an online movement or something? Everyone agree to just let April Fools go? :)

      Clinton’s books was so interesting but yeah... reliving it definitely got me riled up again at certain points.
