The Sunday Post (22 January 2023)

                   

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.

It's been another cold week here, which has been a bit of a nightmare. I've had no heating in my bedroom so been moving a portable heater around my house quite a lot this week. Thankfully my new panel heaters should arrive tomorrow.

Yesterday, I went to my friend's baby shower which was really nice and it was lovely catching up. I hate that baby showers have become such a thing in the UK. I don't see the point in them as, in Scotland anyway, it's always been traditional to give gifts after a baby is born, and baby showers here just seem like a way to milk more gifts out of people. This was a bit different though as mum specifically asked for no gifts so it really was just one last big catch-up before baby arrives.

  1. I'm glad you've found a way to stay warm! I'm not a huge fan of baby showers either, but they are a big thing here in the US. And most of the new mothers I know already have everything they could possibly need for a new baby.

    1. Thankfully I have my new heaters and my house is a bit cosier again. I just don't get the need for baby showers at all.

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 fre...
