Sunday Post #97



The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer

Lots of sunshine this week. I finished  a few books. I read and reviewed Star Wars Heir to Jedi and read Deadfall as well. My thoughts on Deadfall will be up on Thursday. I also had my Bookcover Spotlight #2 on Friday- you can check it out here. It was a good week but went by fast. We're almost to July already- hard to believe.

Heir to the Jedi Deadfall (Blackbird, #2)

BOOKISH NEWS: 

 Julie Mulhern is releasing the next book in the Country Club Murders this fall.

    OOO, Hearne + Star Wars! I forgot he wrote those, too!! I hope it was good. I'm kind of oggling the Mark Hamil on the cover - talk about svelte (sorry!). I'm trying to imagine Skip's voice coming from THAT guy. I can't wait for Star Wars 7 myself...

    I hope you'll continue to have some sunshine next week, too, Greg!

    Your new books look very good, Time Salvager and The Adventuress both seem like stories I'd enjoy, too.

    It was fun to chat with you in the COYER twitter party yesterday :)

    Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.

    The Cobie Smulders' movie looks interesting. I like both the actresses in it. The last line in the trailer is hilarious.

    Yeah for getting a lot of reading done this week! I was busy with family so I was only able to listen to my audiobooks in the car.

    Those are 2 great movies coming out. The Cobie Smulders' movie looks really good and it is great seeing Elizabeth McGovern. I loved her in the 80's and they actually look alike and can pass for mother and daughter.

    I hope you have a great week and enjoy all your new books!

    The Peanuts movie looks so cute, they have always been my favorite. Charlie Brown Christmas will forever be my favorite :)

    We had some good sunshine this week but now it's raining.
    I was so glad you came to the Twitter party yesterday! You have me so curious about the Star Wars books, I am off to check out your review :)

    Have a great week, Greg! Happy Reading!

      You should try it, if you're in Star Wars at all. The party was fun, COYER should be a blast!

      I love PEanuts too, and am so happy to see them doing a movie. The Schulz family is involved so hopefully they'll do it right.

    The Time Salvager sounds good! Also your cozy mysteries always look like fun.

    Oh, a new Peanuts movie! I am old enough that I grew up since almost the beginning of the franchise. I had Peanut comic books and figures when a kid and still watch The Charlie Brown Christmas every holiday season for nostalgia. Plus that jazzy soundtrack--awesome.

    Enjoy your week!

      I love that soundtrack- and often listent o it, even when it's not Christmas time. A classic. There's something about Peanuts- and I had a ton of books growing up, it was very comforting.

    I didn't realize there was a Peanuts movie coming out! That will definitely be on our watch list. I really want to try Leslie Budewitz. Her spice store series looks like so much fun. I hadn't heard of P.B. Kolleri but now I want to try that series just based off the cover. Must find out more about it. Have a great week!

      I didn't either- I was excited when I saw the trailer. And it comes out this year- yay! I thought the spice store mysteries looked fun too, and thought about- then I saw this one, and thought I'll start there. I hope it's good

    I really want to give a few of the Star Wars books a try as I am a big Star Wars fan. I enjoyed reading your review of this one and it makes me want to read it soon. The cover for Garanteed to Bleed looks pretty! I love the green and brown colours used on the cover.
    I hope you'll have a great week and enjoy your new books!

    Thanks for the link-up!

    I've heard good things about Tasha Alexander's books but I don't think I've actually read anything by her before. I just heard about the Peanuts movie. It should be fun! Enjoy your week!

    I need to make time for the other two SW books I have in the new set before Dark Disciple comes out in a few weeks. I'm pretty excited about it because it will center around Asajj Ventress who is in the Clone Wars animated show which I loved.

    I hope you have an awesome week Greg!

    One of these days I will read a Star Wars book (other than the original novelization of what's now A New Hope, by George Lucas, which I read back in the day.) And I so want to read the new Tasha Alexander! I still haven't caught up on the series, though. Sometimes I think I should take a year off from new books and just read older titles from my TBR list...

    The Time Scavenger book looks really intriguing, too.
