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 give book bloggers the chance to share print and digital books
they've received and posts and events at their blogs.
Last week was busy and stressful at work, ended on a high Friday when one of my two yea olds told me I was the best teacher :D, I won a GC, received some unexpected swag, and went to a wine and cheese social at a local bookstore, then took a turn for the worse on Saturday when I finally succumbed to the stomach and intestinal bug that's been going around school. I'd like to go back in time to Friday please, it was an excellent day.

The swag was really cool and such a nice surprise.
DeleteGift cards are the best..happy shopping and I am curious about Fallen Woman. Sweet swag and the vampire stake is so cool! Enjoy your week Bea :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kimberly! I'll put the gift card to good use. :)
DeleteI am chuckling over how Faith Hunter mailed the vampire stake to you. Very cool that you are on her street team! I haven't read her books yet--I am very picky about my UF-- but sounds like she is a winner for you. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI was chuckling too, such a nice surprise.
DeleteIf you get a chance, try her books, but read in order! I got the first few from the library and enjoyed them.
Ooh, you had another great week. I need to read something by Sandra Dallas....

Isn't it great when your kids tell you you're a good teacher or that they love you? I'm sorry, though, that your week came to an unpleasant end. Stomach bugs, yeuch. I hope you're feeling better now.
