The Sunday Post

The Sunday Post 
Hosted by:

The Sunday post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer~ It's a chance to share new ~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. 

It was a lazy week of reading. Aside from the every day I was squeezing in reading every chance I could or on twitter for Bout of books chats. My first ones ever haha.

What happened last week: 
I signed up for Bout of Books. It was a lot of fun meeting so many great new bloggers. I didn't read as much as I would have loved.
Dusk by Alyssa Rose Ivy (Review) ~ Loved this one. I can't wait for the next.
Signed up to do an Alpha & Omega Read - A - Long
Tur by S.T. Bende (Review)
Winter Wolf by Rachel M. Raithby (Review)

My newest additions to my shelves.
It was kind of a big week. I also finally caught up on physical pictures because I blog in the am the hubby is asleep and I keep forgetting to take them when he's awake. I got them today thought.
Review copies
Just a couple I couldn't pass up. 
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard (Goodreads) Via Edelveiss it was there teasing me auto approved so I figured why not I want to read it.
Seeker by Arwen Elys Dayton (Goodreads) This one was for the first so many people I was lucky to snag a copy on NetGalley.
Dusk by Alyssa Rose Ivy (Review) From the author

I have them both on my kindle and can't wait to start.

Purchased
Physical Book
Frostfire by Amanda Hocking (Goodreads) - I was going to go with the eBook but happened to find it early at Winco and decided since they put it out early it was a sign I needed a physical copy.

eBooks 
Yup kind of had a book bender but it wouldn't be me if not. Bout of books just added tons to my TBR. 
Out of Shadows by Bethany Shaw (Goodreads) Needed this one for one of my challenges. 
Forbidden by Selene Charles (Goodreads)
The Forest Bull by Terry Maggert (Goodreads)
Song in the Silence by Elizabeth Kerner (Goodreads)

Gifts/Swag
It's been a while since I've had any awesomeness.
I admit these are the physical books I received for xmas from the hubby and my friend. I had them in the bedroom and it was late each week when I wrote my stacking post and didn't want to wake the hubby up with pictures. I took them yesterday.
My sweet hubby got me the White Rabbit Chronicles in Hardcover. He's not into giving books as gifts so I'm super happy he decided to go with them.

My friend got me Michael Crichton's B&N leather bound edition of Jurassic Park and Lost World. Two of my favorites. They both did wonderful knowing I've wanted both forever.

With a gift card from my hubby's best friend I picked up Taste Savor by Kat Evangelista which is funny because her swag arrived about the same time. Swag for being part of the Relish Scavenger Hunt. I can't wait for Relish her little teaser was just that.
