The Sunday Post (6 November)


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.

Not much happened this week. It's been fairly quite, but I did manage to read a lot again. So that's always a bonus. I've also been getting into the Christmas spirit super early this year, which is very unusual for me! I've has a taste of the Costa Christmas menu and I would highly recommend the honeycomb latte (and the amoretti latte not so much). It is simply amazing! We also had our first mince pies of the year at work this week, just because it's not a proper week unless there's some sort of cake available, haha!

I also went out for tea and a catch-up with a friend which was great! Especially since we actually stopped speaking to each other back in February! But, we've put our differences behind us and I'm so glad to have such a great friend back. I also tried Turkish for the first time and it was nice (though I couldn't pronounce any of the names!).

    1. Thanks! Yeah i'm enjoying Anna Karenina so far, but it is a bit confusing with all the characters.

  3. I love Christmas and usually get into the spirit early too, although I haven't this year yet. I'm thinking the HoHoHo readathon will correct that though lol. I signed up for it but haven't picked out my reads yet- yikes.

    Some nice covers this week- I like that The Rose Petal Beach one.

    1. I'm not doing the HoHoHo readathon, but it sounds good! I hope it gets you into the spirit of Christmas. The Rose Petal Beach is a very good book to go along with a nice cover too.

  4. It's really cold today and I'm thinking about those honeycomb lattes...! The only Turkish I'm familiar with is Turkish Delight...my language skills are not great though I know enough tourist French to get by if I went there. Enjoy your reading!

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.
