Sunday Post: Book Pre-order Campaigns & Giveaways Galore – 6/14/20

by admin

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on my blog and share news about what’s coming up in the week ahead.

This past week on FYFA (and in my life):

How is it the middle of June already? I think there’s some sort of time conspiracy going on where the government is stealing days from us. Why has no one been tweeting about that?

This morning was … eventful. At 5:30 AM a car crashed into TWO of our cars that were at the end of our driveway! (We recently had the driveway redone and it has a few issues that my husband wanted to talk to the company about, so he didn’t pull them up onto the main driveway). We live on a curve, and the car just basically kept going straight, crashed into the first car and pushed it right into the second car. And then they drove away!! Needless to say, we’ve had a hectic morning trying to deal with insurance and track the hit and run car down (we have video, but unfortunately not clear enough to read the license plate.)

UPDATE: The people came back a few hours later and turned themselves in. So, now it’s just been dealing with insurance companies and lots of cleanup this morning.

Here’s what else we’ve been up to this week:

  • We watched:
    • The first two seasons of Atypical. Really liking it, but it has a bit more relationship drama than I was expecting—like, does everyone on the show cheat? What’s up with that?
  • I only finished two books in the last two weeks. I’ve been in such a slump!!!
    • I read Knockout by KA Holt. It’s a middle grade verse novel, so it’s a super quick read—the only kind I can seem to get through lately.
    • I finished listening to Wardens of Eternity.
    • Other than that, I started reading two other books and didn’t get very far and am listening to two other books. What is up with me lately? I have a serious lack of reading focus!!!
  • We made some more junk art. Yesterday, my husband made his dad a cool scorpion for his yard in Arizona. We LOVE how it turned out!!
  • Mostly, I was on puppy duty. As most of you probably know, puppies are a LOT of work–Digit is super sweet, and he can also be super rambunctious. When he’s up, he needs constant supervision and when he’s sleeping you just want to sit and stare at his adorableness. I’m not getting much sleep either. He’s totally worth it.

Here are a couple more puppy pics, because I need to share this cuteness with the world:

 

Here’s what you may have missed on the blog since my last Sunday Post:

Um, well, I only posted once. This is life with a new puppy.
