The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
It's Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.
I hope everyone had a fabulous New Year! We're into 2014 now and it's a time of new beginnings. Accordingly, I have a slew of new reads lined up and am looking forward to delving into them. Some fantasy, dystopians, and a bunch of other good stuff as well. Check out my new arrivals below. We're bracing for the cold and snow that is supposed to arrive by tomorrow night, right now it's not bad and we have a gentle snowfall coming down. It's beautiful at the moment.
We finally saw Frozen and we all loved it. Best movie I've seen in a while.
Here's the girls at Christmas with their own little tree. We finally got around to sorting through all our holiday pics.
Here's my oldest with some of her bookish loot.
UPCOMING READS
AROUND THE BLOGOSPHERE
The true origin of Squeee? Probably not, but kinda funny.
Triumph of the English Major- a neat essay over at the New York Times Sunday Review. Worth a read.
Want a Hostess Fruit Pie? You might not after seeing this...
Check out the Veronica Mars trailer here.
So how was your week?
Love to pick up Mulled Murder by Kate Kingsbury.
ReplyDeleteHave a great 2014!

ReplyDeleteNice books to start off the new year. I especially like the look of Mulled Wine.
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday post: http://www.bookclublibrarian.com/2014/01/sundays-weekly-book-recap-48.html
Yeah it's kind of an eclectic mix, I'm reading all kinds of different things these days. Mulled Wine should be good.
DeleteI haven't had a Hostess fruit pie in donkey's years, but I think I'll skip that link. I have a feeling it's not going to be pretty. lol My kids wanted to see Frozen, but we went with The Hobbit:II instead. Money only goes so far these days. :( I'm liking your book haul. Will need to check them out.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
My daughter saw Frozen and absolutely loved it. I'd like to see it too. Enjoy your week.

I went to the article for the Hostess food and then ended up watching a 5 mins video of nothing but them making the cakes, lol. I'm blaming it on the fact that I'm hungry and it's 1am. I really want to see Frozen. I had to choose between Frozen, Hobbit, and Catching Fire...so I went the Hobbit.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be reading Between Two Thorns soon. I hope you have a lovely week and enjoy your new books!
Wow, what a busy week! Happy Reading!
