The Sunday Post (2nd October)


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'm finally posting another Sunday Post! The past few months have been a bit iffy in my personal life (I don't really feel like getting into much detail about it) so I haven't really been socialising as much in the blogging community as what I like to be. I've still been posting my reviews and Top Ten Tuesday's most weeks but I've been really bad at commenting back to you all and for that, I'm really sorry. But now that we are into October (when did that happen!) I have resolved to try and be as active as possible in this community!

Anyway, the past week has been a bit on the quieter side and not much really happened. At work on Friday, we did take part in the MacMillan World's Biggest Coffee morning so there was so much cake! It was brilliant and so many people took part. We also managed to raise an amazing £1100.00 for such a worthy charity too which amazes me cause that equates to a lot of cake!

This weekend I've had a great time watching Strictly Come Dancing with my sister-in-law (and forcing my brother to watch too) and drinking wine. Which along with some reading, is the perfect weekend in my opinion! And as an added bonus, I've now equalled the number of books I read last year (58)!

    Welcome back, and hope you have a great October blogging! Sounds like you have a good weekend on tap. Holding Up The Universe looks good, and curious what you'll think of Stealing Snow as I've seen some mixed reviews.

    Have a great week!

    Sorry to hear you've had some personal stuff going on. I hope all has improved, or at least that it seems like it will.

    The coffee morning fundraiser sounds great and it's great when you can pass on a good donation!

Discussion: The Problem With My Local Library

I used to use my local library all the time when I was in school.  Source I even spent every lunchtime in my school's library. My friends and I were pupil librarians and we practically had the run of the whole library. And then, when I started University, the only library I had time for was the University library. And that wasn't an enjoyable experience. However, last summer I started going to my local library again. (I then had to stop again when I got my job.) And unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed.  Source The availability sucks. I can deal with books I want that are already out on loan. It's the complete lack of decent books the library has on its system that gets to me. All those months I went to the library last year and I never left with a book that was already on my TBR. I walked around that place looking at my Goodreads trying to find any book on that list. And I couldn't find any at all (except for the Classics). To be honest, I ...
