Last week on FYFA (and in my life):
Well, I am sad to say that I didn’t manage to get a discussion post up this week. I’m trying to give myself a bit of grace – I did build a few “miss” weeks into the discussion challenge for this very reason. After all, we can’t be perfect, right?
This weekend my daughter’s gym is hosting the level four state gymnastics meet and I got myself roped into doing hospitality again. I’ve been pretty much all day every day since Thursday and I’m exhausted. Let me tell you – feeding 100 hungry coaches and judges (plus even more with the volunteers) is hard! And totally stressful. The meet is over today, and we are completely done with competitions until the fall. Thank goodness!!
Anyway, I promise I’ll be around more again this week! Here’s what you may have missed this past week:
- Chameleon: The Awakening by Maggie Faire (review)
- Top Ten Spring Releases on my TBR

Next week on FYFA:

It’s okay! Everyone has busy weeks now and then 🙂 hope all goes well with the gymnastics!
I’m just now catching up. Still haven’t even finished reading Released, so I’m way behind on reading too!! 🙂
I can’t imagine trying to feed that many people! Hosting normal sized parties is bad enough. Hope you have a less stressful week coming up.
I’m so glad it’s over. This has consumed my life for the past week or so and I’m ready to get back to “regular” life! By the way, I know you’re still waiting on me and I’m sorry. I’m going to email you today!!
Oh my gosh, feed 100 people? I don’t even want to imagine the stress that would entail… I hope you have a lovely week and enjoy your new read!

Yeah, events like this really aren’t my forte, but somebody has to do it! I’m just glad it’s over!
I can’t wait to see what you think of Walled. I reviewed it a bit ago, it was a good story.
I am glad you are done until fall for hosting. That sounds like a nightmare.
Walled actually really surprised me – not that it was good (I expected that after reading Carrier), but some of the plot twists I was NOT expecting. 🙂
Nice haul! It’s a totally new to me read but the title is definitely eyecatching! Hope you enjoy it!
Here’s my STS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
Sounds like you had a busy week trying to feed all those people! I read Rice Cooker Revenge this week and it was such a fun short story, perfect if you want a short read that will put a smile on your face! I hope you have a great week and it’s less busy than this one!
Rice Cooker Revenge looks really cute!
Yay for your daughter doing so well! Hopefully this coming week will be a much calmer one for you and you can get some reading time in. 😀
Yes, I’ve missed my books!! And reading other people’s blogs – I feel like I’ve been so out of the loop!
Didn’t I tell you that if those people stressed you out again, they were going to have to deal with me? Give me their numbers! 😉 I am sorry you had another rough week. I am hoping that this one is much more calm for you!
Okay, Shannon, I’m sending them to you! Actually this time there were WAY less volunteers, which actually made it easier on me. Still crazily busy and stressful ( just because feeding 100 people – especially when there’s no exact schedule is just crazy), but I didn’t have to deal with complaining volunteers.
One book in your haul… that is great! Hope you enjoy it!
