I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; and Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews. These memes allow book bloggers the chance to share print and digital books
they've received, and different posts and events at their blogs.
It's the end of September and I'm still tired. Ugh. Last week, I had no energy and got very little reading done. It didn't help that I was still dealing with my asthma flare, which is better but not gone. The weather here has been gorgeous, sunny, breezy, and in the mid-60's to low-70's. Some of the leaves have started turning but nothing too dramatic yet. It's been perfect reading weather, if only I could stay awake! :D
Last Week on the Blog
Interview: Heather Gray, inspirational romance
Guest Posts: Writing Advice from Sara V. Olds, YA author

Odd and unusual search phrases that led to the blog: "the devils thief free", "trap a cat", and again, "ode to a fish sandwich rebecca m hale". The author saw my post last week about the search term and sent me a nice email.

I live in a condo so I don't have to deal with raking. I don't miss it. :D
DeleteOde to a fish sandwich?! That's interesting xD Unfortunately a lot of keywords that lead to my blog are of a slightly *ahem* inappropriate nature which I didn't really think about when I named my blog xD Hope you enjoy all your books this week :DD
