Sunday Post & Giveaways Galore – 9/3/17

This past week on FYFA (and in my life):

Not much new to tell you this week. I’m steadily working on an editing project, which means I haven’t had much time to work on editing my own book. Hoping to get to it some this week, since we have some time off of school, but we shall see!

Other than that, it was just… a week. A busy one, but just normal busy. My One Year Adventure Novel class is off to a fun start. The kids have some great synopses, so I’m excited about what the year will bring!

Here’s what you may have missed on the blog this past week:

• August Wrap-Up Round-Up Link-Up – Link up your August wrap-up posts here! (Sorry to those of you who tried to link up on the 31st and found the linky closed—it’s open again, and I added links for the people who left them in the comments!)
• Bite-Sized Reviews Audiobook Edition: Midnight Jewel, Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy, Firstlife and Of Beast and Beauty
• July & August Wrap-Up & Best of the Bunch – I recapped both July and August on the blog!
• September Discussion Challenge Link-Up & Giveaway – Link up your September discussions here and enter the giveaway!
• What Constitutes a Blogging Slump? Let’s Discuss.

Next week on FYFA:

• The Thing with Feathers by McCall Hoyle – I didn’t get to this one last week, but hopefully this week!
• A Semi-Definitive List of Worst Nightmares by Krystal Sutherland: Review, Giveaway and Sutherland’s Top Ten Addictions
• Monthly Wrap-Up Round Up Giveaway
• Let’s Discuss: Something bookish! 🙂

Latest FYFA Giveaway Winners!!:
