Sunday Post: Book Pre-order Campaigns & Giveaways Galore – 5/15/22
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):
- Danielle’s 18th birthday! Danielle turned eighteen yesterday! We had a fun day, including a family game of Unstable Unicorns and an Escape Room (we escaped this time!).
- Noah’s soccer games and track meet. Noah’s Special Olympics team had their soccer playoffs, and they made it to State! Then he had a track meet where he won gold for his division and qualified for State in that too. (Since he can only do one or the other, he’ll probably do track – the coaches gave their blessing for him to choose which one he does.)
-
What I Read
- I only read one book this week: The Natural Genius of Ants by Betty Culley.
- I continued listening to Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison.
- I also read part of a critique partner’s manuscript and gave her feedback.
-
What I Watched:
- We’re still watching season 5 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and season 2 of Angel. I so love reliving season 5 of Buffy with Danielle along for the ride this time.
- Since I caught up with American Idol, I decided to also start watching the latest season of The Voice.
Here’s what you may have missed on the blog since my last Sunday Post:
