The Sunday Post (20 December)

Sunday Post
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly of Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.

I finally finished by Christmas shopping this week... I think... I'll probably still buy a few things that I really shouldn't. I also helped dad with his shopping too, which is earlier than usual for him. Really starting to get into the Christmas spirit now.

We have a brand new Costa in our town now and I am beyond happy! So I went for coffee with my brother's girlfriend and it was brilliant! I just love a sticky toffee latte!

I also had my works Christmas lunch/night out and it was really fun. As I'm still quite new, it was nice to socialise with staff from throughout the department and get to know everyone. And now, I only have 1 and a half days of work before I'm off until the 5 January! I can't wait to spend two weeks reading!

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and that Santa is good to you too!

    1. Firsts was very good but This Is Where It Ends could have been so much better.
      Thanks for visiting!

  2. I still haven't read Night Circus. I hope you enjoy that and This Is Where It Ends. Both seem like great novels. Congrats on finishing your Christmas shopping. My dad put me in charge of buying presents for siblings, and picking out presents for people honestly stresses me out. I think I'm going to do subscription boxes, because I think they're really neat and finding the right subscription box can actually be a really personal gift. Hope you have a great Christmas!

    My Sunday post!

    1. I've stopped reading The Night Circus just now but I'll hopefully try it again soon. This Is Where It Ends isn't as good as what I hoped it would be. I hope you managed your shopping successfully and had a great Christmas too!

  3. Is this your first time reading The Secret Garden? I read it earlier this year for the first time and loved it.
    Merry Christmas to you.

    1. I think so but I've seen the film so many times that I'm having a sense of deja vu whilst reading it haha!

Feature and Follow (29 May)

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of  Parajunkee’s View  and Alison of  Alison Can Read . Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs! I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Along with Amanda of  The Darling Bookworm . This week’s Question: How many books have you got on your TBR list? I recently had a bit of a cull of my TBR list so now it is sitting at 269. I'm trying my hardest to get it below 200 by the end of the year but I really don't see it happening. I'd currently be happy if I managed to get it below 225. However, I did recently have a look through my TBR on Goodreads and deleted a few books that I don't think I will actually ever read - I'm not even to sure how they got there anyway. Follow me via  Goodreads ,  Facebook ,  Bloglovin  and  Pinterest  and also via email to myexpandingbookshelf@gmail.com.  Feel free to leave a comment.
