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. 

The first week of the new year and I'm on my reading game. 
I signed up for 250 books on my Goodreads challenge. 
Currently 5 of 250 At least I'm not chasing yet which is how I spent the most of 2016 after April. 
The kids will both start back to school so I'm hoping to get even more reading done next week. I'm really proud of 5 for the week and may finish another book before or two by the end of the day. Upping my speed reading. 

Fun posts you may have missed at TRD this week.

I made some headway on my 2016 temperature blanket. I should be into yellow or 80s weather this week. I had to take a long break it was overwhelming but it's back in the works. I'm starting a mermaid tail but I haven't gotten very far just yet. 

Exercise
Still pushing for 10k a day. My replacement Fitbit arrived so I can start making some headway again. Silly puppy decided to chew the last one.

  4. Well, who doesn't need more Harry Potter merchandise? LOL!! I have to keep myself from even looking at The Book Outlet! My guilty pleasure is digging through the book areas at the Dollar Tree. I mostly end up with books for the library where I work, but I don't feel as bad about buying books for them, and I often find a book or two for myself. Hope you have a great week!

  6. Mad King looks awesome and I just added it to my wishlist. I hate Alice in Wonderland but enjoy the retellings. I think it's becau.se I like the Alice "world" but Alice drove me crazy
