Sunday Post: Book Pre-order Campaigns & Giveaways Galore – 3/28/21

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

Two of my three kids had spring break this week, which basically meant we just watched more TV than usual.

• What I Read:
  • I read The Memory Keeper by Jennifer Camiccia (loved it!).
  • I finished listening to You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson and started listening to So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo.
  • I finished reading a friend’s manuscript for feedback. I’ve started tracking those in my personal reading spreadsheet this year.
• TV We Watched:
  • Supernatural. We’re still watching season 10.
  • Married at First Sight. We’re continuing our ridiculous dating-show binge, and we watched all of season 1 of this show and then jumped to season 10, which is the latest on Hulu.
• Dog Agility: The weather wasn’t great this week, but we still managed to set up a bit of the agility equipment to do some quick agility with Digit. Now that we’ve been getting outside occasionally, Digit has been very anxious to keep it up—he’s ready for spring!!

Here’s what you may have missed on the blog since my last Sunday Post:

• Bite-Sized Reviews of Cybils Nominees: A Game of Fox and Squirrels, Wishes and Wellingtons, Mulrox and the Malcognitos, Cleo Porter and the Body Electric, and Another Dreadful Fairy Book
• March 2021 Monthly Wrap-Up Round-Up Link-Up & Giveaway
