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, this is it. Vacation is finally over. We spent a full month in Colorado, which was absolutely amazing! I’m going to be in vacation recovery for a little while now.
Here’s what you may have missed on the blog last week:
- The Scorch Trials by James Dashner (review)
- Top Ten Hyped Books I Haven’t Yet Read – You get to decide which one I will read!!
- The Six by Mark Alpert (review)
- Jesse’s Girl by Miranda Kenneally (review & giveaway) – Still time to enter to win a $50 gift card!
- Anya and the Shy Guy by Suze Winegardner (review & author’s top ten addictions)
- Let’s Discuss – My vacation to Colorado (Okay, this is less discussing and more me showing you what I’ve been up to for the past month)
Next week on FYFA:
Of course, now that I’m done with vacation, I don’t have all that much planned or scheduled. Good thing I signed up for all those tours during vacation. Yep, I’m super smart!
- Animal by Nikki Rae (review)
- Let’s Discuss – something 🙂

Yeah, I have SO many books from RT still that I’m purposely trying not to get a lot.
I need a vacation like that. Of course, I should also shut the hell up, I just took 6 whole months off of working since we moved here. A vacation is different than just not working though, right? Anyways, welcome back? Sorry it is over for you. I am sure you think of tons of things to blog about this week. I am looking forward to more from you.
Happy reading!
A vacation is definitely different than just not working (especially when you have kids!).
I’m glad you enjoyed your vacation! After you’ve recovered you’ll have to plan your next one so you have something to look forward to!
Yep – we’re already talking about what we want to do next!
Glad you had a great vacation and hope the recovery isn’t too long!! Have a great week!
I think I’ll manage to recover – that vacation hangover can’t last forever, right?
I loved reading about your vacation. A month is such a luxury.
Definitely a luxury! We had a fantastic time!!
What a wonderful sounding vacation, I’m off to check out your post!
Thanks! We had such an amazing time!
Welcome back! I hope your vacation was thoroughly good and you’re now ready TO CONQUER THE WORLD!!! Lol. Looking forward to more discussion posts!
World conquering is totally on my list for this week. I’ll make sure to get right on it! 🙂
Welcome back girl. I am trying to play catch up now the kids are back at school! Seems never ending! You will get there!
