Sunday Post: Book Pre-order Campaigns & Giveaways Galore – 7/19/20

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):

  • We watched:
    • My daughter Danielle and I finished season three of The 100 last night. We’re catching up!
  • We bought a new (used) dining table and chairs. We got a beautiful cherry dining room set, but the top has some scratches that we’ll need to fix, so we’ve been experimenting with one of the leaves to figure out the best way to do it.
  • My daughter painted a couple more masks. She did a logo for a friend of mine (her first paid mask!), started a butterfly for my mom, and finished the anime one for Jade (apparently these characters are called Filo and Raphtalia from Rising of the Shield Hero). Here’s a pic of that one:

  • Reading
    • I finished reading The Elephant’s Girl and also read Secrets of Storytelling: A Creative Writing Workbook for Kids.
    • I’m listening to Divided We Fall via audiobook.
    • I got auto-approved for Macmillan Audio on NetGalley, so I’m looking forward to listening to their audiobooks. Has anyone been listening using the new NetGalley Shelf app yet? I’m about to try it, and I’m hoping it works as well as Hoopla, Libby and Audible do.
  • Blogging. I only got one post up, but I did manage to catch up a little bit on replying to comments and commenting back. (I still have almost 75 un-replied comments, though. Yikes!!)
  • Digit! As always, the new little fluff is keeping me busy. Lately, he has all sorts of added ear-expressions to go with his facial expressions. Half the time he ends up with one ear sticking straight up. It’s pretty adorable:

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