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):
This week was pretty calm around here. I started working on two different editing jobs, so I’ve been busy, but it’s been a good kind of busy. That did mean that I only got four posts up this week, though. Oh, and I went to a Neal Shusterman signing, which was … interesting.
Here’s what you may have missed on the blog this past week:
- Things We Know by Heart by Jessi Kirby (review)
- Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman (review)
- That Time I Felt Like an Idiot in Front of a Favorite Author (AKA a Recap of the Neal Shusterman Signing)
- Let’s Discuss – What I Did Instead of Changing My Ratings
Next week on FYFA:
- Cress by Marissa Meyer (review)
- Paradise City by C.J. Duggan (review & giveaway)
- April Wrap-Up Post
- Let’s Discuss – Something. (Haven’t decided what yet.)

I am so jealous that you have a copy of Emmy and Oliver. I want to read it so bad, and I can’t believe that I have to wait.
