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.
Happy New Year! I hope 2014 is treating everyone well so far. My new year has been fairly uneventful so far, but I have that blissful optimism that comes at the beginning of the year. I have a new reading schedule in place and a shiny new blog folder with a ton of charts that should help me keep up with review books and requests. Last year I read 178 books which is way more than my normal average of 130. I set my goal to 150 for 2014.

Mine is kind of wrap up post for 2013 and ushering in 2014…
Here is my post
Thanks Gautami! I hope you have a great year as well!
Congrats on the win! I didn’t realize that series had manga, but I bet the illustrations look awesome!
I didn’t either until I saw them on her blog! The illustrations are so fun. 🙂
Good luck with your schedule. The Soulless covers are gorgeous! Hope you enjoy them, Michelle.
Thank you Christy!
Oooo I really want to read Two Boys Kissing! It sounds amazing. I adore the Soulless covers, I didn’t know they came in Manga too, I’ll bet they are fab! Happy New Year! 🙂
It was amazing, it had me crying at points. So far the manga is fantastic!
Sounds like you had a pretty fun bookish week, especially since you already got to read Unhinged! I can’t wait for my copy to arrive aaaaah! *muppet flail* Looking forward to seeing what you thought of it! ^.^
I’m so excited for other people to read it! I need to know that others are going through the same feels, lol!
Congrats on the win! And your passing the reading the goal, that is great! Enjoy the new goodies.
Thanks for stopping by.

Entangled has really stepped it up with their new lines. I’m loving them! Congrats on your reading goal and good luck this year! 🙂
They really have! They have so many amazing books coming out this year. Thank you for dropping by!
Good luck with your goals and happy new year.
Thanks for stopping by the Harem.
Thank you and Happy New Year Lauren!
You got some pretty cool looking books! And I still need to read Allegiant. I’m really anxious to see how everything ends. Thanks for stopping by My Haul!
Yes go read it! I wasn’t all that fond of it, but I’m satisfied with the ending.
I’ll be curious to see your review of Allegiant, given all the furor over that book. 🙂 Oh, and Gail Simon writing Red Sonja. Cool.
Yeah…Allegiant had a lot of hype to live up to and it just didn’t. Red Sonja was really good though!
Looks like you’ve gotten a lot of reading done! I’m trying to finish a lot of books that I started in 2013, so I can finally get through a purely 2014 read. 🙂

I wish I could do that! I have so many 2013 books on my shelves that I seriously need to read.
I have the three Soulless manga as well. I look forward to hearing what you think of them.
Alchemy looks good, hope you enjoy!
Nice haul! Not sure any of these books would be for me but I am super excited about your reading challenge. I didn’t end up making mine last year so I am bummed and haven’t committed to anything this year, that way I can’t be let down! Good luck!
Can’t wait to read your thoughts on Red Sonja! I’ve been reading the monthly issues and it really surprised me how much I love it.
