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
I don't even remember what I talked about. Ha!
I post a strange word and its definition every Wednesday on my Facebook book page, my FB personal page, Twitter and Tumblr, so I thought I would start sharing them here on my Sunday Post, too. This was this last week...
SATURDAY FAIL
Once again no blogversary post. I figured out the font problems earlier in the week. For some reason Blogger is inserting garbage code when I am composing my posts. I have to go in and remove it all, so it will set the default color, font, and background color as per my design. It is time consuming, and then add in some internet problems * shakes fist at Time Warner* and you have me saying forget it. It will be posted on Monday, which is funny because I finally had my The Infinite review ready to go!
My birthday twin, Shelly from READ. SLEEP. REPEAT., is celebrating her birthday all month long with DIVERSITY posts. I am going to participate by reviewing ORLEANS (finally), as a guest revew, and having a giveaway of a hardcover of the book with signed bookplate! You can read all about it, HERE.
I found this musical gem when I was looking for a tutorial of Classical Gas to quickly fullfill one of my 2015 New Year's resolutions to finish learning Classical Gas on guitar, after I basically quit playing 24 years ago. This is Mason Williams the composer playing it in a duet with a harpist, but not a pedal harpist.

THE SUNDAY POST
I SEE IN THE FUTURE...
1. WITCHES! All month in October, I will be featuring WITCHY THINGS on my Children's book blog, TICKLING DRAGONS. Kaylee, the five year old daughter of Shannon from REX ROBOT REVIEWS, will be contributing her first review on KOOKIES AND MILK: with Kaylee and Mommy. She will be reviewing the first book in the WORST WITCH SERIES. I will be spotlighting the author Ruth Chew and her series of standalone Children's chapter books about witches and magic, and also Debi Gliori's witchy books from the Pure Dead Magic series. I will also be spotlighting the anime movie KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE, and the very first witch I became aquanted with as a child, Wendy from the CASPER THE FRIENDLY GHOST cartoons and comic books. I will also be doing a Harry Potter themed Halloween post on my Middle Grade blog PAPER DRAGONS.
2. I reviewed the YA Paranormal OF BREAKABLE THINGS last Halloween Day, and this year I will be reviewing it's sequel, OF DELICATE PIECES, which publishes on October 20th. You all know how I gushed about the first book!
To add to the spookiness... about a month and a half before I saw this cover I started collecting gifs for my review, and guess what the gifs were? Hands!
Have and incredible week!
Yay for figuring out what was going on with Blogger. That would drive me nuts! The cover of Of Delicate Pieces has got some creep factor to it and it sounds like your gifs will fit right in. What a funny coincidence. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteBlogger is making it easier for me to move to Word Press every day. Ha ha. I think I will experiment with moving my personal blog over first because I use it the least. :)
DeleteFrust is so frustrating! Har har har.
ReplyDeleteKaylee and I are pretty excited to review The Worst Witch! (It arrived by the way). It looks SO cute!
Yes! Frustrating dust. Ha ha! I was going to look for the tracking # to see if they had arrived, so thanks for letting me know. She can review the other book in November. Gah, I am so excited for you two to do Kookies and Milk. I put the K on Kookies because it was Kaleb and Mome, so Kaylee an Mommy is perfect. :)
DeleteWow! I'd probably give up if Blogger started doing that to me. Way to go with the perseverance!
ReplyDeleteOooooh, I love learning new words! I have the dictionary app on my phone with the word of the day widget to show me the new word everyday! Durst is a new one for me, so win!
ReplyDeleteAt least you've figured out what is wrong with Blogger messing your posts around, but why on Earth would it add strange code??? BAD BLOGGER!!
