Sunday Post #107



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

This has been a quiet week, not much happening on the blog. I did a bit of reading, finishing up Eight Hundred Grapes and I'll be reviewing that on Tuesday. I will say it's a very good read. I also had another readalong post for A Dance with Dragons- you can find that here. And I'm back to Arrow on Netflix- the new shows are in October so I have catching up to do. 

The weather has been funny, quite hot several days but we got rain and storms too. A mixed week really. We're in September now and fall activities will be happening. I was happy to see that Sci Fi Month is returning in November, hosted by Rinn Reads. This was a blast last year and if you're interested, take a look. It will be fun. This week I'll have my COYER wrap up post as well

  2. Lovely pictures as usual. They all look like postcards! Interesting books this week. I'm wanting to try Tasha Alexander and I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of Eight Hundred Grapes. We've had odd weather here as well lately. So hot it's almost hard to breathe. Have a great week!

    1. I like Tasha Alexander, especially the first few books of hers I read, but some of the later ones too. Eight Hundred was good also, I won it in a giveaway and I'm glad I did or I might never have read it! :)

  3. Those pictures are so tempting, I'd love go to there, especially in the first pic where the water is so clear... The tumblr game thinks I'm lame because I want to finish my spreadsheet before having fun, he he ! Enjoy Le trésor de Rackahm le Rouge :)

    1. I was actually going to stop posting pics soon, since they're mostly summer pics, but who knows? Maybe I'll continue... I liked Eight Hundred Graps, not perfect but fun.

    1. Yes it's supposed to be pretty hot- I'm going to miss it when it cools off though. Eight Hundred was quite good, I hope you get it.

  7. I've heard great things about Eight Hundred Grapes so I'll be interested to see what you thought - you sound ominous about it. I just have to remember to check to back (I can't remember half the things I'm supposed to do).

    Stunning pictures this week all over the place!! It's not possible to take a bad picture up north, huh? :)

    Have a great week!

    1. I liked it- a lot. Not perfect but good, and it would make a good movie. You're right, it's hard to take bad pics up there. :)

  8. Good to know you liked Eight Hundred Grapes, its on my hit list. Love the pics, my favorite is the building with the tower at the front.

  9. Your pictures are fab Greg, I love the one on the deck by the water. Looks like a great place to sit with a book and a drink and just chill. I'm going to check out Paper Fury's editing post, I always struggle a bit to get PicMonkey to do what I want.

  10. We're heading into spring here so of course this weekend has been freezing cold, wet and windy. Love your summer pictures. Have a great week :)

  11. Quiet weeks can be good, right? 800 Grapes looks good, I may have to check that out at one point.
    Have a fantastic week ahead and happy reading.

  15. Eight Hundred Grapes is on my wish list, so I'll be curious to see what you thought f it.

    The photos are beautiful...I've always thought Michigan looks a lot like central NY. Have a great week!

  16. I still need to read Eight Hundred Grapes. Glad to know you liked it. So far I've seen mostly positive reviews.

    Love the summer pictures but I'm sad to think of summer coming to an end.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I really liked 800 Grapes, too. I am excited to get my hands on The Adventuress. The lovely days of your summer photos are coming to an end, maybe you'll have something hauntingly beautiful for us this winter?

  18. When I gave up on Charmed and was looking for something else to watch Arrow was on my list. Well, it's still on my list. I just happened to pick Firefly first. :) I love your pics and I'm afraid to go to DeviantArt because I think it's one of those sites that has the potential to suck me in and not let go. lol

  19. I always like all the photos you put up, Greg! And I haven't heard of Eight Hundred Grapes so I'll try to remember to come and read your review...lol. Have a great week.

  20. Wow, you have taken some really beautiful photos. Also, never seen a Tumblr choose your own adventure game before, that's neat, thanks for sharing :)

  21. Deviant Art has some amazing pictures, I am fascinated by the dystopian ones one there, they are incredible.

    As always you have some amazing photos, your neck of the woods looks great.

    Have a great week!

  22. Such pretty pictrues! I am not sure if I want to participate in sci-fi month again this year, I did enjoy it this year, although I don't think I have enough sci-fi topics for posts this year excerpt for the reviews. So I am not sure yet.
    Those DeviantArt pictrues are very beautifull!

  23. You got some nice books this week as well, hope you enjoy them!

  24. I liked 800 Grapes too. It was a nice change from what I'm used to reading and it brought back memories of my dates with my husband in Napa. I love the art work. Have a great week Greg!

  25. I love seeing the personal pics. Someone should start a weekly post feature for those of us who are not on Insatgram. I have to remember to write TinTin on my library-look- fors list. i loved reading the books and watching the tv show with my son. It woulds be a walk down memory lane. I have not seen any of the Divergent movies, yet. i am still on the fence about them because I did not like the casting of the two MCs. I thought the casting for the rest of the characters was brilliant. Have a wonderful week. :)

  27. Such spectacular pictures. I look forward to them each week. And some great books too. Incident on the Bridge looks very good. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and take some pictures:)

  30. A lovely group of photos yet again Greg! And I adore Deviantart, I will waste so much time hopping from artist to artist. It's really awesome for story inspiration too. I hope you have a good week!
