The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly at the Caffeinated Reviewer! It's an opportunity to share news, post a recap for the previous week, showcase books, and highlight what's planned for the week ahead.
News:
The weather has been wonderful, the kids are feeling better, and I went out on a friend date this weekend. We got drinks, ate amazing food, and then went to the thrift store for a bit afterwards. It was amazing! Our husbands entertained the kids at the park and then took them for pizza, so everyone was happy.
Soccer season is starting, which means I'll have a lot of afternoons to myself (crazy, I know). I also like to listen to audiobooks when I go to practices and games, since it doesn't take away from watching my kids play. However, once the mosquitos start coming out, it's less enjoyable.
I'm planning on starting Demon Slayer this week! I've heard really great things about it.
I'm setting my Physical TBR and NetGalley goals to 50! I hope I'm able to make a dent in both this year.

ReplyDeleteI've been listening to the audiobook and it's really good so far! I just need to make the time to actually finish it. 😅
DeleteSounds like a lovely weekend. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kimberly! I hope you and yours are doing well.
DeleteI hope you get all the time to read! Sounds like a nice weekend. You’re doing good with your challenges.
ReplyDeleteMy goals for the challenges may have been a little ambitious. We'll see what I can accomplish this month and over Christmas break!
DeleteThat friend date sounds so fun! I'm glad you were able to do that. Also, A Sorceress Comes to Call is on my TBR! I'll have to check back on your blog once you finish it to hear your thoughts :)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to get out of the house solo for awhile. I usually have the kids with me wherever I go. A Sorceress Comes to Call was really good! I should have my review up soon (just a little delayed).
Delete"I've also been going through audiobooks pretty quickly, but now I need to review them."
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling...I read so fast, then I get down to write the review and eons pass LOL.
Yay for having lots of afternoons to yourself!
I feel like the reviews pile up just as much as the TBR pile.
DeleteYay for spring break! I love audiobooks! You commented on my post that you would like a good hockey romance, have you tried Emma St. Clair's Appies series? Just don't fall is the first book and her narrators are great.
ReplyDeleteI haven't! I'll definitely check them out. Thank you!!
DeleteYay for spring break - hope you'll get to enjoy some reading time! :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to read as much as I wanted. Here's hoping for better luck over Christmas break...
DeleteSounds like the perfect weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful! It's nice to get out and do something just for me every once in a while.
DeleteMosquites booo. Luckily not yet here
ReplyDeleteWe made it to December and freezing temps, so that means no mosquitos!
DeleteGlad everyone is feeling well! Audiobooks are a great way to watch the kids and be doubly entertained! Mosquitos love me, but I hate them! I use a lotion bar that really helps keep them away. A friend bought it while on vacation in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and she let me try it out. It's from a shop called Mountain Madness and I've ordered a bunch online since then. Sounds like you're getting a lot of great reading in! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I definitely need the name of this soap! I can look up Mountain Madness and see if anything is advertised as "mosquito repellant," but I'm not sure they'll be that obvious about it. Or maybe I'm wrong and that's exactly what will happen. 😂
DeleteOkay, so I'm looking at their website now and there are SO MANY I want to try. Honey Lavender Goat Milk Soap specifically.
DeleteI wish audiobooks were available (downloaded to my phone) back when my kid had all those rehearsals. Great use of time. So glad to hear you had some "me" time. Sounds like a fun day! Catching up on reviews is no fun. I am avoiding a bunch of amazing library reads that need to be reviewed at the moment.
ReplyDeleteIt can be overwhelming when you get behind on reviews! I do love having access to audiobooks while my kids are playing sports. It's a win-win for everyone.
DeleteWe don't really have mosquitos out here. It's glorious lol
ReplyDeleteLet me know if there are any houses available in your neighborhood!
