The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly of Caffeinated 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've had quite a busy week this week - especially at work where I had to write two sets of minutes. Outside of work I spent a lot of the beginning of the week weeding the garden. I hate it and it just never seems to end! On Thursday, I went to the pub quiz again with my parents and we got 23/40. Not our best week but not bad. Then on Saturday, I went on a day trip on a train with my parents and nephew. It was my nephew's first time on a train and he loved it. He particularly liked seeing all the sheep and cows in the fields. I also spent Saturday participating in Dewey's 24 Hour Reverse Readathon. I didn't read as much as I hoped, but I got to spend a whole day with my nephew so there are no complaints there.

Feel free to leave a comment.
I keep seeing people talk about the woman at the gates. Was it good?
ReplyDeleteIt took me a little while to get into it, but once I did I was so invested in the story and flew through it. Definitely worth reading if you like historical/WW2 books.
DeleteI was looking forward to that readathon, but then I had to go into work on Saturday. Maybe I’ll be off for the next Dewey’s. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAww, hopefully you're able to join in for the next one. It'll be here before we know it!
DeleteI'm so sad the readathon is already over. I managed to read one book. Yay!
ReplyDeleteAww, hopefully next time you're able to read more, but one book is still great!
DeleteHow is Schnidlers List as a book? I have never tackled it, however I think te movie is wonderful ...( I am never sure how to describe my feelings on the movie, it seems wrong to say ..Oh I loved that movie...)
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you about the film. It's not a "enjoyable" film, but it's fantastic and I totally appreciate it. The book is very good so far. I'm listening to the audiobook and the narrator is very good.
DeleteWeeding the garden- not fun. :) Ours is so overgrown it takes hours to clear...
ReplyDeleteThe Woman at the Gates and what I Saw both look promising.
Mine is a bit overgrown too, and it just seems that every time I plan to work on it, it rains.
DeleteThe Woman at the Gates is pretty good. It gave a perspective to WWII that I hadn't really thought about before. What I Saw is a reread for me, I last read it probably about 12 years ago and have decided to reread before donating my copy. I'm trying to clear out my bookshelves a bit.
I"ve never read Schindlers List, but I would like to someday. Happy Reading.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely an interesting read and worth the time.
