I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews; and Bought Borrowed and Bagged, hosted by TalkSupe. It's a chance to share the print
and digital books we've received and posts and events on the blog.
I have a full-time teaching job! I start in 2 weeks and I'll be teaching my preferred age group, young toddlers. :) Saturday night I got together with some friends for pizza and a movie and we celebrated.
My friend Elle made the pic below for me. I've put it up as my profile pic at Twitter and Facebook. I love it!

This is the swag that arrived with Monsterland -
Kindle Freebies
Thanks
for visiting and happy reading! :)
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI think the Thoreau books looks interesting, and love the Monsterland swag. That cover reminds me of Jurassic Park a bit...
It reminds me a bit of Jurassic Park too; my guess is they did that intentionally.
DeleteOMG..The Martian is so good one audio! Wahoo on the full-time job *throw confetti* Now did you find a car?
ReplyDeleteThe car is a work in progress, lol. I have a plan, just need the cash.
DeleteHooray for the job! Ah, toddlers, what a fun age. I like Matt Damon, but I hate that they put his massive face on the covers of The Martian.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the non-movie version would have been better.
DeleteSuch good news, I'm happy for you, and that pic is great :) I hope you love the Martian as much as I did. And I see you received a nice pair of fangs, you're ready for Halloween ;)
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm ready for Halloween. Too bad they'd scare my toddlers. :D I do love that pic Elle made.
DeleteOh yay! Congrats on the new job, sounds perfect! Well done and good luck.
ReplyDeleteThe graphic is fun!
Thanks Trish!
DeleteOh yay! Congratulations on the job AND teaching an age you want. Great news all around!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteCongrats on the job...sounds like fun. I have heard good things about Lindsey McKenna. Hope you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about McKenna too; I'm hopeful it'll be good. :)
DeleteI love the pics your friend made :) Yay on your job. I love working with young toddlers they are the best. Have a great week
ReplyDeleteMegan @ http://readingawaythedays.blogspot.co.uk
I agree, young toddlers are the best.They're my fave age group. :)
DeleteCongrats on your new job, it certainly sounds like it will be fun!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Exhausting,but fun. :)
DeleteCongratulations on the job. Toddlers! - better you than me - i would lose my mind in a day.
ReplyDeleteHeh heh, they're demanding but fun and exciting.
DeleteCongrats on getting to teach the age group you want! I don't know how you do it, I don't think I could spend all day with toddlers...lol.
ReplyDeleteMonsterland looks good and I seen it on someone else's blog today as well...I need it. :)

Week in Review
I love toddlers; it makes a difference when you love your age group.
DeleteOh, great news! Congrats, and it's always great to get the age group you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteLove that Queen Bea picture, too.
Enjoy your books...I like the look of Deadly Christmas Secrets...a mystery with a Christmas theme seems appropriate now.
As for my Graveyard...those are just cleared out for the duration of the carpet cleaning...but I may not bring everything back inside. I'm liking the "blank" look. LOL
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Thanks Laurel!
DeleteI thought that might be case for your Graveyard pile but I wanted to be sure.
I'm still deciding whether to pick up The Martian or not, hope you enjoy it and your week
ReplyDeleteThanks Lauren!
DeleteCongratulations and three cheers on the new job! I borrowed The Martian from the library - I hope I have time to read it before it has to go back. Otherwise, I'll have to buy it! The movie's screenwriter is the son of my parents' good friends/neighbors, so I'm doubly excited to see it.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteOh, that's exciting about the screenwriter! I want to see it but I'll wait until it hits Amazon Prime or NetFlix. I'm looking forward to both the book and the movie.
Congrats on the job! That's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI want to see the movie The Martian, but probably not until it's out on DVD.
Hope you have a great week!
Thanks Yvonne, and I'll also wait to see the movie. :)
DeleteHave a great week!
Congrats on the job. It's great that you get to teach the age you want to. I so want to read The Martian, but I'll probably see the movie first.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
Thanks Grace, I'm excited. Enjoy the movie!
DeleteI started Minstrel and last night and am pleasantly surprised. Hope to read more tonight before The Walking Dead. Enjoy your books.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Barb. :)
DeleteThat's aweosme you got a full tiem teachign job, congrats! And that's even better you also got your preferred age group. That profile pic your friend made for you looks great! I hope you'll enjoy your new books. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lola! Have a great week!
DeleteCongratulations on your new job!! Toddlers can be a handful but it is good you got an age group you preferred. I love the profile picture and you are doing great with blog ahead. Especially now that you are working you don't need to worry about your posts. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYes, Blog Ahead is extra important now. Now to see how many posts I can get done before I start my job!
DeleteSaga sounds interesting. Hope you enjoy it and the rest of your books and have a great upcoming week.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on job!
Thanks Brandi, you too!
DeleteMonterland? MONSTERLAND!!! It sounds awesome!

DeleteCongrat's Bea! Glad you found full time work, that is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy the Martian! I want to see the movie!
Thanks Naomi! I want to see the movie too, but I'll wait for it to hit on demand.
DeleteYeah. So happy to hear you landed the job. Great news. I hope you love The Martian, I thought the audio was fantastic. I can't wait to see the movie.
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi! I got the audio version of The Martian, now I have to find the time to listen to it.
DeleteWay to go on the Blog Ahead challenge, Bea! It's so nice to feel like having a real incentive for blogging ahead, and it really makes me happy to see how everybody is making progress :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll enjoy your new books, and that this week is a great one.
Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
Yeah, with a full-time job, I have a huge incentive now. :D It is pretty awesome seeing how people are doing and how they're getting there.
DeleteI'm holding on to see The Martian as a movie as I haven't read the book. Great news about your job, Bea! :)
