The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimba of The Caffeinated Book Reviewer. This is a weekly meme where we can share news of the week and highlight new books received.
I have decided to jump onboard with Kimba’s Sunday Posts, because I like the chatty factor that she has introduced to the book haul meme.
Yesterday I spent most of the day fiddling with my blog template after a fatal hiccup with the old one, which I had been using for YEARS. It was hard to let it go, but after searching around and looking at new themes, I do like the one that I picked out. I even learned a lot about widgets, which I hadn’t used in the past. I like them. A lot. If you notice anything wonky about the site, please let me know.
I just finished reading When You Were Mine by Rebecca Serle, which was an unsolicited review copy. I love getting these, because I wouldn’t have picked the book up otherwise, and I would have missed out on a treat. I couldn’t put it down, and I was so irritated that I had to set it aside to tinker with my blog theme. I will be giving this re-telling of Romeo and Juliet away soon, so check back and enter the contest if you are interested in this engrossing read!
I haven’t shared a book haul in a while, and I have lost track of some of the books I bought/received, but here are some of the highlights.

@Jennifer – It is a really good book! Come back on Friday and enter my giveaway for it. I liked it so much I want to share it with everyone
Thanks for hopping by my blog!
I got an e-copy for review of When You Were Mine, too, but when I realized that it wouldn’t be as light and funny as I was in the mood for at that moment, I passed. :/ Everyone keeps saying it was amazing, though. Argh! XD
Patricia // My Week
@Patricia – It’s not a fluffy read, but it’s not a downer, either. It’s about new beginnings and finding hope – it is really good!
I love your blog set up and everything appears to be working. I am curious about Because its in my Blood. I received Blackwood for review and want Revived. What a great week. Thanks for being a part of The Sunday Post
I got ‘When You Were Mine’ last week and it sounds as though I need to read it soon!
Great post!
New to your blog!

@Kimba88 – I really liked Revived, though it wasn’t anything like I thought it would be.
Thanks for hosting The Sunday Post!
@Steph – Yes, you need to bump When You Were Mine up in your TBR pile. It’s a fast read, and you won’t want to put it down.
Oooh, I’m glad to hear you loved When You Were Mine! I’ve heard mixed reviews, and I’m looking forward to reading it myself. I really want to read All These Things I’ve Done too!
