The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. It's Monday, What Are You Reading is a fun weekly meme now hosted by Kathryn at Book Date, where we share what we've read and reviewed over the past week and what we plan to read next.
The week went by really quickly and I enjoyed some of the warmer weather we had. Too bad it isn't sticking around! This past Monday was my 8th blogoversary and I totally forgot about it. I can't believe I've been blogging so long though of course I haven't written much in recent months. I don't know if I'll still be blogging next January but I hope so.
Last week on my blog:
Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu (review)
Books read:
American Panda by Gloria Chau
Mei has always been the good, obedient daughter but now she is struggling under the weight of her parents' expectations and rules. I liked this book and it did remind me a little of When Dimple Met Rishi though Dimple's and Rishi's parents were much more caring and understanding than Mei's overbearing parents.
The Widows of Malabar Hill by Sujata Massey
To Capture What We Cannot Keep by Beatrice Colin
Currently reading:
The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
I am just at the part when the family arrives in Alaska but it is fascinating. I am reminded a little of The Glass Castle (the movie--I haven't read the book yet) especially where Leni's parents are concerned.
On my TBR pile:
The Serpent's Secret by Sayantani DasGupta
Surprise Me by Sophie Kinsella
I usually enjoy Sophie Kinsella's books and I could use a good lighthearted story after I finish my current book. The cover is perfect for Valentine's Day too.
New books received:
The Serpent's Secret by Sayantani DasGupta
The English Wife by Lauren Willig
Wow happy blogoversary! 8 years is amazing. And I hope you stick around. :)
ReplyDeleteThe serpent's Secret looks really fun. I did a double take on that cover! And I just love the cover of To Capture What We Cannot Keep as well, that one's lovely.
