Sunday Post #287



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

March is here! Can it be that spring isn't far behind? I'm going to say yes and break those flip flips out. Well, soon anyway. Oh, I'm being interviewed by Asti at The Bookish Games on Tuesday March 5th regarding my experience in the Games, so check that out if you're so inclined. You can see Bookish Games stuff at @bookishgames. And this week Shannon from It Starts at Midnight was interviewed- and since she's the one who got me hornswoggled into that Game I'm gonna return the favor and plug her interview here. Go read!

Some fun stuff this week. I was wasting time exploring Pinterest this week and found name generators. So yes you can have fun too. Apparently in Star Wars I'm a Jawa scavenger, but my favorite has to be the vampire stripper name generator. Yes you can find your very own vampire stripper name. You're welcome!    

This week I posted reviews for Polaris Rising and Damocles: An Impossible Ransom, and I also shared my favorite Superhero Costume Fails. Next week I've got a two part post looking at Best Music Art. And I'll be reviewing The Extinction Trials book three.

    I think your declaration of spring summoned all the snow I am experiencing right now. I never thought I would avoid the white stuff altogether, but the timing really sucks. --sigh-- Seriously, I had to step away from Pinterest, because that is the one social media blackhole I fall into. Once I start pinning, I can't stop.

    I am enjoying these days of winter while we have them because I know as soon as spring arrives the dreadful summer will just be a few short weeks behind. Spring never lasts long around my parts and summer heat and humidity reigns supreme. Though I will say I could do without all the snow!

    Nice new reads! Totally new to me ones. Hope you enjoy them!

    My STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!

    Have a GREAT day!

    Two Can Keep a Secret is on my list. I'm interested to see if you enjoyed Polaris. Love the Druid Forest pic.

    You're ready to break out the flip flops? It's funny that when we're in the 50s or 60s here in Southern California people are wearing boots and coats. Although, I will say that's mostly the female population. My husband is usually in shorts and flip flops if it's above 60. So maybe it's a male thing? Lol.

    Apparently, I'm a scavenger, too, but I'm a Hutt. Regular stripper name: Sugar Horn, Vamp stripper: Obsessed Paramour, lol. These are fun. :)

      I think it may be! I do the same... I'll totally have flip flops on if it's 60's or even 50's (I'm stubborn that way). :)

      I love those too! Obsesses Paramour... that's a good one!
