The Sunday Post (30 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.

This week has been a fantastic week for reading. I've now surpassed my Goodreads goal of 65 books! I'm so happy I managed to reach my goal with over 2 months left of the year. I totally didn't expect to even get close to my goal at the start of the year.

In other news, I had a fairly busy week this week. I was on my own at work on Tuesday so that was pretty boring with no one to talk to, but luckily nothing too difficult came up. However, I did have to mail nearly 200 handbooks out so that was pretty time consuming.

On Thursday, my went in for it's MOT and surprising it passed! I was so sure it would fail because my car is nearly 12 years old and it passed last year so I didn't think it would manage to years in a row. I also had a nice catch-up with my sister-in-law and we went for tea so Thursday turned out to be a great day.

On Saturday, we celebrated a family friend's 21st birthday. We had a girly afternoon tea where no tea was actually drunk. Instead, we had lots of prosecco, gin and cake. Then we all went out at night where we were joined by a few of the guys and a lot more alcohol was consumed. I always know it's a good night when myself and my cousin end up holding each other up. However, it's safe to say I'm feeling a bit tender today!

    1. It was so great rereading them as audiobooks, though it has taken me months! Stephen Fry is just amazing.

  3. Congrats on your Goodreads goal! I didn't do a GR challenge this year, but I might next year. And glad it was a good week. The LEgend of Sleepy Hollow looks like a perfect read for this time of year. :)

    1. Thanks! Can't believe I made it. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow wasn't what I expected it to be at all. I didn't really like it that much at all, unfortunately.

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.
