The Sunday Post [69]

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:

I spent a ridiculous amount of time the other day making Challenge Progress bars for my blog. I'm out of practice and my html skills are a little rusty, lol. I'm really happy with how they turned out though! Sadly, I didn't do much reading this week due to a weirdly busy schedule that didn't allow for it. Although, I was able to start listening to Attached at the Hip - audiobooks for the win!

We've had warm weather this week! It's been in the high 50's and low 60's. So. Lovely. I know we have more cold weather coming up, so I'm trying to enjoy this while it lasts. I think the chickens are feeling the warm weather also, because they've been laying eggs like crazy. We might have to start giving them away to our neighbors soon. ๐Ÿ˜…

My copy of Onyx Storm finally arrived! My plan is to start reading it Monday and hopefully finish it on Tuesday. It all depends on my kids and whether or not they'll leave me alone long enough to get through it, lol.

Previous Week on the Blog:

Monday: ๐Ÿ’ซ
Wednesday: DNF&Y [45]
Friday: ๐Ÿ’ซ

What I'm Currently Reading:
A Language of Dragons by S.F. Williamson
Things We Do in the Dark by Jennifer Hillier
๐ŸŽง Attached at the Hip by Christine Riccio

I recently started Attached at the Hip and I'm really enjoying the audio so far! The MC is a little over-the-top, but I'm hoping she gets better as the story progresses. I still need to finish the other two. ๐Ÿ˜…

What I Plan on Reading Next:
The Encanto's Daughter (The Encanto's Daughter, #1) by Melissa de la Cruz
We Would Never by Tova Mirvis

What I'm Watching:

Absolutely nothing right now, lol. I can't remember the last time I sat down and turned on the TV. 

Challenge Updates:
I'm setting my Physical TBR and NetGalley goals to 50! I hope I'm able to make a dent in both this year.
