The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on my blog and share news about what’s coming up in the week ahead.
Last week on FYFA (and in my life):
Well, my daughter got the flu this week, but she wasn’t quite as miserable as my son was last week. I set her up with an audiobook (the second Ever After High book) to help her pass the time – and I actually ended up getting a lot of reading done while sitting with her. Luckily, she seems to be feeling a bit better now!

Yea, I just lost about 20 mins checking out your links in this post. I loved The Book of Ivy, I hope you do too. I am glad your daughter is feeling better. It sucks when kids are sick. Have a great week!
Ha! Glad I’m not the only one who goes online to do one thing and finds myself a half hour later off on tangents! 🙂
This has been a tough winter for lots of folks, between weather and falling sick. 🙁 Glad everyone in your house if feeling better. Thanks for putting this post together, lots of good info and so organized! I love that. 😉
Glad you found the post helpful!
Glad your daughter is feeling better! Congrats on the books. I want to read the Ivy book, I have seen some good reviews for it. Can’t wait to see what you think about it.
I’ve been seeing so many great reviews of that one – I just had to pick it up!
Sorry to hear your daughter was ill – I hope she feels better. I read The Book of Ivy a couple of weeks ago and it was so good! Hope you enjoy it 🙂 Thanks for the heads up on the giveaways and have a lovely week!
My Weekly Review
Zareena @ The Slanted Bookshelf
There have been so many great reviews of Ivy, I couldn’t resist it!
Ah! Hope everyone is feeling better! Usually in our house, once one of us is sick, it passes to everyone! That’s definitely when I hole up in my room and don’t come out unless I’m armed with Lysol! LOL!
Bookwise…Nice! Those two are new to me, but I think I’ve seen the Book of Ivy around! Hope you enjoy them both!
Here’s my STS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
Yeah, holing up doesn’t work so well when it’s your kids that are sick, unfortunately. 🙂
That’s sad your daughter was sick, but I am glad she’s feeling a bit better and yay for getting some reading done! I’ll have to check out some of last months discussion posts soon!
I know – it’s hard to keep up with all of the discussions because there have been SO many posted! I love it, though!
There’s nothing worse when your kids get sick! hope they are all good this week!
Enjoy your new reads girl!
Naomi @ Nomi’s Paranormal Palace
Yeah, now it seems like I’m getting it, but so far my case has been much milder – hopefully it will stay that way!
I’m interested to see what your review of All the Bright Places will be like.
I’ve heard really good things about it and want to read it soon.
Hope you had a good weekend!
It’s one of those books that keeps you thinking about it long after you’ve put it down. I definitely recommend it!
Oh, no! I had the flu this week too. 🙁 Hope everyone is feeling better now!
I’ll be curious to see your review of ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES. I seriously adored that book and hope you enjoyed it as well!
Sorry you were sick! It seems like I’m coming down with it now too, but so far my case has been a lot milder than the kids’ – hopefully it stays that way!
I’m looking forward to your All the Bright Places review! Honestly I just bought it because I’m so excited to read it, but I get scared with those books that everyone loves, because what if I don’t? These Sunday Posts links are a serious issue, I start just meaning to comment on this one single post and then before I know it there’s a million tabs on my window.
Glad your daughter is feeling better. Hope you guys have a great week. 😉
Ha! I know what you mean. My husband used to constantly chastise me because of my millions of open tabs, but he finally just got me a new computer that can handle it. LOL!
Sorry your daughter is feeling ill and hope she feels like herself soon. I want to read The Book of Ivy! Isn’t that cover a killer!
Yes, and I’ve read so many amazing things about the book – I just knew I needed it!
I’m loving the discussion challenge it’s a lot of fun.
Hope you’re daughter is feeling much better now.
Have a great week.
I’m loving it too!! I have never read so many discussions! 🙂
Aw, sorry about your daughter. I’m glad she didn’t get AS bad as your son though. I saw my niece on Saturday and she was throwing up and all that too- not fun! They are just so pitiful.
-Lauren
Yeah, kiddos and sickness are no fun. You just have to feel so horrible for them!
Great month. I am looking forward to your review of All the bright places. I loved that book!
Such a great book, right?
I can’t wait to see your review of All the Bright Places this week. 🙂
That seems to be the one everyone’s looking forward to – and I definitely get why!
