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.
What’s been happening since my last Sunday Post:
Goodreads Author Page Claimed! It’s kind of an author rite of passage to get your request to “claim” your book rejected by Goodreads. Some authors get rejected six or seven times before they manage to claim their page! Luckily, I was able to do it in two. So my book is now officially connected to me on Goodreads, I was able to create a real author profile, and I was able to update the book’s title to the new one as well. If you haven’t added it to your TBR yet, you definitely should. 🙂 You can find the book at this link – THE SONG OF ORPHAN’S GARDEN
Possible cover artist? Another even more exciting bit of book news… my editor and the team at Feiwel & Friends looked at my cover notes and chose a cover artist that they’d like to approach for the project. I don’t want to jinx it, so I won’t say their name yet, but I am already SO attached to this artist, and I really hope that they accept the project! (If they say no, I just might cry.)
What I Read:
- I actually read Duel by Jessixa Bagley, illustrated by Aaron Bagley before my last Sunday Post, but I forgot to include it, so I’m adding it here. This graphic novel explores sibling rivalry, grief, and the sport of fencing! It’s one of those reads that’s a lot deeper than it first appears.
- This week I finished reading Skandar and the Phantom Rider by A.F. Steadman. If you’ve been paying very close attention (which, honestly, I doubt anyone has), you’ll know that I started reading this book ages ago. For some reason, I kept putting it down, not because it wasn’t good, but just because I’ve been in a reading slump and can’t seem to keep reading anything! I really did like this second book in the series a lot, and I’m eager to see where the author takes us in the next book!
- Then I started reading Ravenfall by Kalyn Josephson. This book is Barnes & Noble’s middle grade book of the month, and I decided it was time to start reading since I’ve owned it ever since I pre-ordered the book over a year ago! I’m really enjoying this one – it’s a paranormal mystery with Celtic mythology woven in!
- I finished listening to The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin. This book is very inspiring, and helps foster the creative spirit!
- Then I started listening to The Peculiar Incident on Shady Street by Lindsay Currie. This is a classic ghost story for middle grade readers, and I’m loving it!
What I Watched:
- I’m watching the current season of Survivor and The Amazing Race and watching old seasons still too.
Here’s what you may have missed on the blog since my last Sunday Post:
- Nothing! I didn’t manage to post anything this week. I thought about posts. Does that count?

Anne – Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Congrats on getting your author page approved. I added your book to my TBR. And it’s awesome that you’re excited about your cover artist.
Oh nice! Getting on Goodreads does sound like a good rite of passage! I didn’t realize it would be so hard too! Glad you managed it in just two attempts! Congrats!
Here’s my StS
Have a GREAT day!

I didn’t know that! What a weird thing. I’m following you now though 🎉. Good luck on the cover artist!
I know – it’s so strange, right? It seems like claiming your own author page would be really easy, but I guess not!
Congratulations! that’s awesome. And good luck with the cover artist situation either way!!
Congrats on the possible cover and getting your Goodreads page claimed. I hope the cover is everything you dreamed of.
Already had your book and page added as soon as I could! So excited for you! How are you liking the current seasons of Survivor and Amazing Race? That first episode of Survivor was kinda crazy!
Oh YAY for getting to claim your book as your book! It should not be that hard, but here we are and I am zero percent surprised 😂 I am crossing EVEYRTHING that the artist says yes! Scratch that, I just went Twitter stalking and saw that you are happy so YAY I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! Is it available for pre-order yet? I should do that if so, I’m off to check! OH so you watch Survivor and Amazing Race, have you watched The Challenge? The Challenge USA is on CBS/Paramount with a lot of those folks from the other CBS shows!
