The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimba Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
It has been a bit crazy hectic around here, so I haven’t had much blogging time. Thankfully, reading can be done pretty much anywhere. Oh, how I love my Kindle! Even the app on my phone has saved me. Two highlights this week involve my son. Shocking, I know. He was the athlete from his school picked by the city to receive an award for having good character – a leader, sportsmanship, stuff like that. So we were treated to a nice “V.I.P. lunch” at the baseball stadium on Tuesday while they held a small ceremony. And then Thursday was the cross country sectionals, which was his last high school race. It was very bittersweet. I got a little weepy when getting his uniform and stuff together for him to turn in on Friday. -sigh-

Deals
Okay, I’m going to keep pushing YOU on everyone until they read it! It’s still only $1.99, so grab it! Seriously, this book is so deliciously insane. If my review doesn’t convince you, then see what Michele and Liz have to say.
The Restorer (The Graveyard Queen #1) is also currently only a $1.99. I love this series!
Big Little Lies is $3.99 right now. I’m sure because it’s a Best Fiction 2014 finalist.
Have a great week!
I loved Big Little Lies, and Darkest Minds..enjoy. Congrats to your son. I remember my son’s last Rugby game..my hubby and I both cried. See ya Thursday!
Your sons last event must have been such a bittersweet moment but from the sounds of it, he will be on to bigger and better soon 🙂 I love the look of Maybe and all those musical notes. And I never heard of Griffin Peterson until I read Maybe Someday but I’ve been a fan since. I’ve been listening to that song while I read and typed and even on first listen it’s just to catchy, love it!
The VIP lunch sounds really nice 🙂 And even if it was bittersweet to prepare his uniform to hand it in, there will be other uniforms in the future for sure 🙂
Maybe has a cover that makes me want to read it! With the music on the woman, I can’t help but think there will be something about music in the story as well.
I hope you’ll enjoy your new books, Christy. Have a fantastic Sunday, and happy reading.
Congrats to your son, Christy! Wow, well done! 🙂 Hope it slows down and that you enjoy all your reads, sweetheart!
Oh I can’t wait to read the Curse Unbroken! happy reading!
OMG ,, You have some great books here ,, how lucky 🙂 hope you enjoy reading each and every one of these wonderful books 😀
Big Little Lies is a phenomenal book. Love, love, love. I’m reading The Darkest Minds right now, and so far, so good.
Have a great week, Christy!

YES! Where would I be without my kindle and the ability to read anywhere at any time? Congrats to your son. I definitely see how that can be bittersweet. Looks like you got a lot of good books this week! Hope you enjoy them all! Happy Thanksgiving!

That’s exciting news for your son. Congratulations!
Every one I visit is talking about how busy it’s been and how fast this month flew by. I feel the same and am scrambling to catch up, personally and on my blog. It’s only going to get crazier as Christmas draws closer.
Nice haul of books there. While my blog was down I got a lot of reading done. Now I need to work on those reviews. LOL
Aw yay for the kidlet! That’s awesome news Christy 😀 And oh yeah can definitely see how that would be bittersweet. Amazing how time can fly by!
Its always nice to see your children succeed in life. You got some good looking books. I see that the Cecy Robson book is extremely popular this week.

I have Rival and The Darkest Minds, but I haven’t read them yet. Return of the Bad Girl and Crimson Bound both sound so good. Enjoy them!

I’m right with you on the whole bittersweet thing! How awesome about the award your son got! I want The Restorer! Must go to Amazon immediately. The Kindle is definitely a lifesaver. I remember getting panicky in the past because I knew I was about to finish a book and didn’t have another one with me. With the Kindle that’s never a problem! Have a great week!
Congrats to your son on his award! Sounds like a very bittersweet time for you.
Your books look great.
I hope you have a great week!
Congrats to your son, that is amazing!! I bet you are one proud mama!
Congrats on the books too! Where did you get the new Hodge book, I want!
It’s on Edelweiss! Get it!
Congrats to your son! That’s fantastic. 🙂
So jealous that you have the Penelope Douglas books, that is one series I want to try! Enjoy them all girl!
So glad that your son is doing so well! You must be a proud Mum!!
Congrats to your son! I love the cover of Crimson Bound. And yes, of course, I got YOU, I even put it in my cheap kindle post. So effing excited.
That is awesome of your son! Congratulations! I’ve got Cruel Beauty at home and need to read it so I can move on. You can check out my Sunday post in the link below.

Congrats to your son on his award.
Happy Thanksgiving!
