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:
It’s been a blur. Honestly, this whole week has just been a smudge in my mind. My release party was super successful, and everything since then has felt like “recovery” from the adrenaline involved in the event. LOL! I have been scheduling future events, interviews, school visits, etc. though, so preparing for those has been occupying me!
What I Read:



- I read The Ghosts of Bitterfly Bay by Mary Averling. Mary’s writing is utterly gorgeous, and her worldbuilding is incredible. I highly recommend her books!!
- I finished listening to Sona and the Golden Beasts by Rajani LaRocca (which I had already mentioned in last week’s post, but it’s worth mentioning again because it’s so good!).
- And then I also listened to Max in the House of Spies by Adam Gidwitz. This book is really fun and utterly fascinating. Definitely going to be recommending this to kids who enjoy historical fiction!
Here’s what you may have missed on the blog since my last Sunday Post:
- January 2025 Monthly Round-Up Link-Up and Giveaway
- A Release Party That Was Everything I Hoped It Would Be and More!
- February 2025 Discussion Challenge Link-Up & Giveaway!

I”m enjoying seeing all the awesomeness that is happening with your book release! No wonder you were in a daze all week! You did get some good books read there, I’ll have to check them out to share with my middle school librarians. Have a great week!
I bet last week was a blur. But you still found time to read. Enjoy this special time of being a new debut author.
Delighted the launch has been so successful!
