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:
Gardening: We’ve been making a landscape plan for the back yard. We planned it all out and got a nice bit of it actually planted Friday and yesterday.
(Pssst… if you haven’t seen the cover yet for my book, THE SONG OF ORPHAN’S GARDEN, click here.)
What I Read:
- I read Fairest of All: The Graphic Novel by Sarah Mlynowski, illustrated by Anu Chouhan. A really fun graphic novel adaptation of this early middle grade series. Fans of the series will love it, and it will surely interest kids who are typically only graphic novel readers as well.
- I also read The Hoop Con by Amar Shah, perfect for middle grade basketball aficionados!
- I listened to Greenwild by Pari Thomson, which is this month’s B&N kids’ pick. I really loved this book and I will definitely be recommending it at work. It’s great for kids who love the Harry Potter Series, but without the guilt of supporting an outspoken author with terrible takes.
Here’s what you may have missed on the blog since my last Sunday Post:
Book Haul:
Here are three of the books I’ve gotten recently. Simon & Schuster sent me THE IN-BETWEEN, and I got FAIREST OF ALL: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL and THE LIARS SOCIETY as ARCs at work (thanks, Scholastic!).

Lots of good stuff! Have any news? Feel free to share in the comments!
Your daughter is studying something with gardening. Did she end up with the garden architecture? Good luck with the garden. I am sure it will be beautiful.
I know this is old, but I was just looking back at some old posts and realized I never answered your question! You were absolutely right – Danielle is majoring in landscape architecture (which is the more design side of things) with a minor in horticulture (which is the more plant side of things). She loves it!
I wish I was more into gardening, or didn’t have a black thumb. It would be fun to do all that! Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with and how it all turns out. Have a great week!
It’s been unusually warm in Michigan so I just planted some of my flowers today. I usually wait till Memorial Day. I hope your garden design turns out like you envision it.
The gardening stuff’s all so exciting! Can’t wait to see how it all turns out. I wish I lived in an area where gardening was possible. 🙂 Enjoy your new books! The cover art for The In Between is sooo pretty.
Good luck with the garden! My yard is a disaster, but it’s hard to care about it because I’m hardly ever home during the summer.
