The Sunday Post (28 November 2021)

                

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 a dramatic week here. On Friday, Storm Arwen made herself known and caused complete havoc. I was sent home from work early which was a good thing because all public transport was cancelled. Whole villages have ended up stranded due to downed trees. Whole towns have lost power for days! Thankfully, I've not been too badly affected. Just a couple of broken fence panels. My brother, however, ended up losing power for around 15 hours and had two trees fall onto his house (thankfully not too much damage though).

On a positive note, I have managed to do a bit more Christmas shopping and only have a couple of bits left to get. I have also made the most of the Waterstones Black Friday deal and ordered a lot of pre-orders. A bit of a Christmas present for myself.

    1. Thankfully there was not too much damage in the end. Wild Swans was interesting but I've had to put it down for now. Hopefully I can revisit it soon.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I'd Love Santa to Leave for Me

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...
