Sunday Post - June 18, 2017

Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviewer, where I can share my wrap up of the past week, as well as plans for the current week.

First and foremost, to all our fathers out there:

My Week in Review

It's like Groundhog Day here. Pack and store. Pack and store. Lots to get done before driving the kid to school this week, but at least I read some really great books. Since I will be on my road trip this upcoming week, I don't anticipate reading as much, but I hope what I do read will be high quality.

On the blog:

• Monday: Discussion Post - Where Have All the Stars Gone? 
• Tuesday: Blog Tour/Giveaway - Internet Famous 
• Wednesday: Can't Wait Wednesday - Laura Ingalls is Ruining My Life
• Thursday: Review - A Court of Wings and Ruin
• Friday: Review - Saints and Misfits 
• Saturday: Stuffed Animal Saturday - Brooding YA Hero

What I Read Last Week

I finished one audiobook and 4 books. My standouts were The Names They Gave Us and This is How it Happened. Names was a lovely coming of age story. This was my first Lord book, but will most certainly not be my last. I was really excited to read the Stokes book. I am a fan, and am in awe of her ability to genre hop and do it so well. This book explores internet shaming, and really resonated with me and my love/hate relationship with some social media sites.

• The Bet by Rachel Van Dyken - ★★★
• The Names They Gave Us by Emery Lord - ★★★★ ½ 
• Waste of Space by Gina Damico - ★★★ ½ 
• Who's That Girl by Blair Thronburgh - ★★★ ½ 
• This is How it Happened by Paula Stokes - ★★★★ ½ 

What I Am Currently Reading

I may actually be finished with my book, In 27 Days, by the time you read this, but I can say so far, so good. I love this idea of getting a second chance to express your feelings, and maybe save someone. I only have an hour left of my audiobook. The second installment of this series is not narrated by Kristin Bell, but I think the narrator is doing a good job, and I keep getting teary-eyed every time Logan and Veronica's relationship is the focus. Forever team Logan!

• In 27 Days by Alison Gervais
• Mr. Kiss and Tell by Rob Thomas

What I Plan to Read

With a road trip this week and the unpacking that will follow, I am going to shorten my TBR for the week. My loan finally came through on OverDrive, and I am excited to read the new Maria Semple book. I am also going to read a graphic novel for a reading challenge. I am struggling with my summer book bingo challenge, but still hopeful. If you have any suggestions for me, head on over to my reading challenge page and leave me a comment.

• Today Will Be Different by Maria Semple
• I See London, I See France by Sarah Mlynowski
• The Wendy Project by Melissa Jane Osborne
• Changes in Latitude by Jen Malone
