The Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. ~ Inspired by the meme In My Mailbox.~
It’s a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
I’ve had a rather relaxing week. Me and the boyfriend have been teaching ourselves to cook…I mean we can’t live on microwavable stuff all the time (or my mom’s food), right? It’s been hit and miss…more miss than hit I guess. The food turns out decent but not good enough that I want to go through the trouble of making it…The desserts are by far the best, but we can’t live off of those either. *sighs* Anyone have Gordon Ramsey’s number?

Nice Haul Michelle! How did you score a freebie of Of Poseidon? Lucky! I’ll be interested in seeing what you think of The Storyteller 🙂
Come see my Sunday Post 🙂
Have a great week!
– Kimberly @ Turning the Pages
I got it from Sync (http://www.audiobooksync.com/) since they do promotions during the summer. I think Of Poseidon is already gone but they have more scheduled to giveaway.
Good luck with the recipes – I know it’s cliche, but the more you practice, the better it’ll be. I’m strictly a 30 minute cook myself – I don’t cook anything that takes longer than that to prepare.
I wish I didn’t have to practice…though technically at the moment we’re just following rather easy recipes, so in my mind they should turn out exactly like the picture, lol. I guess they do turn out like they’re supposed to, but it’s not tasty enough for me. 😛
I hear you, cooking is a chore! I’m lucky my husband enjoys it so he does it during the week and I do it at the weekend. Stick with quick, no fuss dishes like pasta and rice.
Oh and stir frys, quickest dinner ever!
Yeah I’m definitely going to try more pastas, stir fry and rice meals. I’ve discovered that if the meat is not ground beef I can’t eat what I cook because I’m wigged out over handling raw meat. *sighs*
I enjoyed Storm and hope you do too.
I really need to start reading Colleen Hoover! I’ve seen nothing but great reviews of her books.
And I’m a baker who tries to cook – it’s taken me 10 years to get comfortable so don’t sweat it! I rely on Allrecipes.com for almost everything. For healthier stuff, Sparkrecipes. Good luck 😉
My Sunday Post
I think I used one from AllRecipes.com yesterday. My mom has a ton of recipes from magazines or websites, plus all of the books so we haven’t really had too much trouble finding them…just more about deciding,lol. I’ll have to check out Sparkrecipes though because it’s looking like I won’t be able to deal with handling raw chicken.
Hit or misses are the best way to learn how to cook. There are many times where I cook something new and my husband say, that was pretty goo, but can we not have it again. lol… Enjoy your new books. 🙂
Jenea @ Books Live Forever’s Sunday’s Post
Lol, that’s basically what the boyfriend said about my past two. Which is fine because I totally agree!
I loved Slammed, Point of Retreat, and This Girl! Hope you’re loving them too! Colleen Hoover has quickly hit my auto-buy list!
Haha…I’m better at desserts too! Shame we can’t live off those, I’d rather eat those than the other stuff too! Balance man…

Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Know
I know! He’s been making these Cream Cheese Tarts with cherries on top that and they barely last two days…so he makes more. I’m pretty sure if we had enough we’d eat them for lunch and dinner.
Sweet haul! Storm was a great read. I still want to listen to a great audiobook. Every time I attempt one, it sucks and get scared away from trying another lol So exited to This Girl! Thanks for sharing and happy reading!

Chapter by Chapter
Yeah I’ve had hits and misses with them. Anna Dressed in Blood was a good book, but I hated the narrator…I keep trying but I only do it with the freebies or library books. (Too expensive to buy). The BBC Shakespere books are some of my favorites because you’re basically listening to the play with the different actors and sounds.
Some good books here it looks like. I watch all the cooking shows…of course I love cooking but you do learn a lot of tips that help. Happy reading and cooking!
I watch them too and I love all the work that goes into it…but I really hate that even when you do everything right it doesn’t taste like a masterpiece, lol.
Looking forward to your review of This Girl, I loved Hopeless. Cooking together sounds like fun and keep at it! Have a lovely week:) The Sunday Post
It really is fun! Even though some things don’t turn out the way we wanted we still enjoy it. We’ll keep trying!
Even though I didn’t like it so much, I’m glad you enjoyed Slammed – I hope you have fun reading all of your other purchases/the books you’ve obtained this week!
Thanks Thomas!
Hehe, good luck with the cooking! Anyone can follow a recipe, it’s just about which recipes work for you the best 😉 You guys probably are super impressed but what you can cook yourself lol. Check out this site too: http://www.budgetbytes.com/
Definitely true! The best thing I’ve made this past week was an omelet…and I had no clue how to make one before I started, lol. So tasty! I’ll definitely have to check out the site when the boyfriend is awake. I see a few recipes already that I might try out.
Wow, thats great! You must have been so excited lol. Try out this steak sauce, really easy and tasty (and addictive!) http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/diane-sauce-L613.html
I loved Of Poseidon and Storm. The Elemental series is so awesome!
Janina @ Synchronized Reading
You had a busy busy week. I have Colleen Hoover’s Slammed and Point of Retreat scheduled soon so I can read my copy of This Girl. I am curious about that Jim Hensen book. Thanks for sharing. Happy reading!
