THE SUNDAY POST #23

THE SUNDAY POST is a weekly feature hosted by Kimba at the Caffinated Book Reviewer. It is a chance to recap the previous week, share news, showcase books and/or bookish things we have received, and tell about what is coming up on our blog in the next week. You can view the guidelines, HERE.

THIS LAST WEEK

TELL ME TUESDAY

Talking about breaking my reading slump and my next ARC.

TOP FIVE FRIDAY

This week's TOP TEN TUESDAY'S prompt (which I follow for TTF) was MOST READ AUTHORS. I had so many ties, and all of my voraciously read top authors were ancient Children's and Middle Grade, so I split it into three categories; Now/Then/Way Back When. To be totally fair to all I ended up with sixteen top authors and three honorable mentions. Every week this feature seems to remind me of a series I have forgotten to finish, books I want need in hardcover, reviews I should write for books I read pre-blogging, and books I must put on my library-look-fors list. I have been enjoying this feature so much.

IN REAL LIFE
I finally got a cellphone. Ha ha! Welcome to the 21st century, La La! It is just a basic phone, and I have the lowest priced plan, unlimited text and 300 minutes a month with rollover. This should be more than sufficient because I kept our landline digital service (it is only $9 a month from our cable company) and don't plan on using the cell at home.

My son got a job working for a seasonal pop-up Halloween store. He has been doing set up, building temporary walls, and assembling shelves and peg boards. Next week they will start moving merchandise from a storage building. When the store opens he has been guaranteed a salesclerk position, so he has work until the third week in November. In the meantime he is going to apply for seasonal Christmas positions at the mall and our big department store downtown, while waiting for his "real' job offers to come through.

I have been craving pizza, and I finally had some on Thursday, yum!

AROUND THE INTERNET

There is a wonderful article about the history of the Little Golden Books, HERE.

It will be the last five days to enter my diversity GIVEAWAY. The author of Orleans has thrown in a signed bookplate for the book! Don't forget there is other assorted swag, too.

Have a magical week.
