The Sunday Post (5 February)


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.

So, I've had a pretty productive week, especially at work. I had to write two separate sets of minutes this week and I actually managed it. The Vice-Principal even said the minute I wrote for him was excellent. I was on cloud nine all day after that!

After last week's little book unhaul, I finally found the time to take them to the charity shop along with a whole heap of CDs and DVDs. Funnily enough, my bookcases still look as full as they were before. Typical really. But, I'm glad I finally did it.

Then, on Saturday night, I went on a night out for a friends birthday. It was a really great night, despite the shots! And it also meant I could have a little catch up wth one of my "cousins". Plus, I didn't feel too bad this morning which was definitely a bonus.

Currently Watching

I have spent the last month watching ITV's current money saving show Save Money Good Health. The first show was all about diets, then there was a show all about making the most of your money when buying painkillers etc and the most recent one was about the best value vitamins and cough/cold medicines. It is definitely worth a watch.

I also gave The Duff a watch over the weekend. It was okay, but I definitely prefer the book.

Top Ten Tuesday: Characters I'd Love to Check in With

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by  The Broke and The Bookish .  This week's topic is the top ten characters you'd like to check in with.  I really struggled with this one, my brain just went blank and I couldn't really think of anyone besides pretty obvious choices.

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 ...
