The Sunday Post (24 January)

Sunday Post
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly of Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share our 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 I've had a quiet week and a super busy weekend. I didn't do much during the week, but managed to get a fair bit of reading done. I also had a lonely day at work on Friday as I was the only one in the office for the majority of the day.

One Friday, I received an awesome email from Netgalley informing me that I have been auto-approved for Sourcebooks Fire! I couldn't believe it! It's my very first auto-approval and I swear I was cheesing all day. But this also means that I have to try and exercise a lot more control over the books I request.

I then had the hairdressers on Saturday morning so I had plenty of time to sit and read whilst getting my hair done. It was great uninterrupted reading.

Then on Saturday night, I had a night out with the girls. It got pretty messy and I felt it on Sunday, which is why this has been posted on Monday...

  1. Congrats on the auto approval! Glad it was a good week. I was curious about riders of the Purple Sage as my grandparents had a lot of those kinds of books around when I ws a kid, and titles like that seemed so evocative. But I've never actually tried one of those old westerns. :) Not sure I want to but I still fondly remember all those books.

    Red Queen seems to be getting a lot of good buzz.

    1. Thank you very much! I wouldn't say Riders of the Purple Sage was a great read and I'm not sure if I will try an old western again. But I'm glad I did.

      I've only just started Red Queen so can't really comment on it yet.

Book Review: Warm Bodies (Warm Bodies #1), Isaac Marion

Title: Warm Bodies Series: Warm Bodies Author: Isaac Marion Published: 2013 (originally 2010), Vintage Books Pages: 239 Source: Bought Format: Paperback Rating: 4.5/5 R is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he is a little different from his fellow dead. And then he meets a girl. First as his prisoner, then as his reluctant guest, Julie is a blast of colour in R's grey landscape, and something inside him begins to bloom. He doesn't want to eat her, he wants to protect her. He wants to breathe again. He wants to live. This unlikely bond will cause transformations they can't imagine, but their hopeless world won't change without a fight.
