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)!

  1. 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!

  2. 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!

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.
