New in my Reading/Blogging/Personal Life:
I had a really fantastic reading week! I got SEVEN books read (okay, one was a short story but still!). Out of the bunch, they were all four/five star reads. It's hard to pick a favorite out of the bunch - they were also just so great! However, I have a soft spot for The Rules of Persuasion by Amity Hope. It was SO MUCH FUN! Make sure you have it on your wish lists - it comes out August 14, 2017!
Other than that, I also got a lot of blog posts written and scheduled. I even have six done for September already. It feels great to be ahead, especially since I'm not sure just how busy I'll be once I start school again.
I also got some more studying done, more moving preparations done, and just relaxed. This week is the big move so wish me luck!!
Last but not least: I'm having a giveaway on Twitter right now! Be sue to enter if you haven't already!

7 books. Sigh. #goals ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had an amazing week! I love that feeling when you're reading and scheduling and everything's coming together and you're overly on top of it all. It's awesome!
Hope you enjoy those new books you got, and that your studying and moving goes well :) <3
Amy @ A Magical World Of Words
Maybe this week you'll hit 7 ;)
DeleteI'm glad you can relate to that feeling of reading/scheduling/being on top of everything! I think it's part of what's making me more relaxed about life.
How wonderful. Reading that many books and loving all of them. That's always great. I also have some posts done for the next month or two. Already working on some for Halloween and Christmas too. Enjoy those new reads:)
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday News
Thanks, Laura! :) Woah, Halloween and Christmas already?! That's awesome & inspiring!
Delete7 books? Very impressive! I don't think I've ever read that many in a week before.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a great book haul too. Being an introvert myself, I really like the sound of Text, Don't Call. Sounds like one I'd really relate to!
Happy reading!
I honestly don't even know how it happened. I think it was Thursday night where I thought to myself, hmm, I've been reading a lot, I wonder how much and counted. I was surprised lol
DeleteText, Don't Call isn't my typical kind of book, but I'm intrigued by it! The graphics from the excerpt I read are also hilarious. I'm excited to dive into it this week.
Moving is the worst! My thoughts are with you during this trying time. 😜 Wasn't The Rules of Persuasion great?! I have to say, I got misty every time Meg talked about her sister.
ReplyDeleteI moved so much during college that isn't overwhelming me as much as it probably should be lol but this is the first time I'm going to have to a move a bed and furniture so that'll be fun...I legit loved The Rules of Persuasion! Amity contacted me on Wednesday to read it and I already had it finished by the next morning. I just tore through it! And yeah, I got misty too. I almost cried when she remembered certain parts of her life, like the drawings.
DeleteThat is pretty impressive reading 7 books this week. The new additions look amazing, especially Pretty Wicked, it sounds awesome! Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteJenea's Book Obsession's Sunday Post
I'm really excited about Pretty Wicked. The whole serial killer vibe is nutty yet I'm incredibly intrigued. :)
DeleteEnjoy your new week; those books look tempting. Moving always freaks me out a little...with all the planning, packing, etc., but starting over in a new place is fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Thanks, Laurel! I'm just trying to not focus to much on the move. I'm all for getting it done in the moment lol
DeleteWOW!! 7 books in a week is fantastic! Good for you! I think I usually get around 3 or 3-5 a week if I'm determined. lol
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great book haul too! I hope you enjoy all of your new books and have a great week!
Thanks, Julie! I'm normally a 3-5 girl too, but this week the reading gods must've just given me the reading power lol
DeleteNice job on reading 7 books this past week! I don't know if I've ever done .... or least I can't remember. LOL yay for having posts scheduled ahead though. I have quite a bit read that I just need to review and schedule, and that will be nice! I've already entered your Twitter giveaway - how fun! I have one too if you're curious- www.twitter.com/shootingstarmag (it's pinned)

Yes, I saw you entered my giveaway!! Thanks for letting me know about yours, I'm going to go check it out right now! :)
DeleteSeven?! How! I must know your secret! Totally impressed.
ReplyDeleteAlso, "Text, don't call" is so totally me! Although I'm more extroverted than introverted, really :)
Have a good reading week!
Thanks, Evelina! I still don't really know how I managed it so no big secret here lol I'm really looking forward to Text Don't Call. The cartoons I've read from it so far have been great.
DeleteWow 7 books!! That is such an awesome reading week. Looks like you got a lot of great books too. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was definitely an awesome reading week! :)
DeleteMatch Made in Manhattan looks fun- love that cover! And one of these days I'm going to try a Lynn Cahoon book (have been meaning to for a while now).
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move, and have a great week!
I love the cover of Match too! The colors really make it pop! Yeah, Killer Party was my first book by Lynn but it certainly won't be my last.
DeleteI'm really impressed that you're able to post something everyday! Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks, Jordan! The key to my success with that is Excel lol I spreadsheet plan everything
DeleteThe Contract sounds really good, I must add it to my list. Pretty Wicked would be another one that I would be interested in reading. So many great books, I hope you enjoy them all. Have a wonderful day and happy reading.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your move and wishing you happy birthday :)
DeleteThe Contract is so much fun! I'll be part of the review/teaser tour for it so be sure to check back Monday/Tuesday! And thanks for the good luck - just heard from my landlord I'll be able to start moving my stuff Tuesday. :)
DeleteWow! Seven books in one week! Great job!!!

DeleteWoah, that's amazing! A book a day for a week, eh? When I was in school, during the summer I used to do that. Now I'm hitting three or four a week and I can't complain. :D I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week, Lauren. =)
