Sunday Post: My Bday Giveaway

The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on your blog for the week ahead.

Yep! You read the title correctly. I am celebrating my 49th Birthday this week. Whoo! Whoot! This year I want to do a few things differently. First, I ordered two dozen cupcakes to come to the office just because I want cupcakes. I am going to take myself out to a nice fancy and expensive dinner after work. Yes. I still have to work since it falls on Wednesday this year but I am going to leave early. But back to the game plan. Fancy dress – check. Fancy dinner – check. Cupcakes – done! Now for presents… I am hosting here and now a giveaway for my bday and you get the gifts. 2 lucky winners will get a paperback copy of When Stars Rain Down by Angela Jackson-Brown.

Currently Reading

Currently reading The Black Kids by Christina Hammonds Reed, our July Book of the Month. I’m really enjoying it and I find myself reading it slowly so it won’t end so soon. I think I am averaging a chapter or two a day. Right now this is my at work lunchtime read.

I am also starting to listen to Soar! by T. D. Jakes. I have about 14 audiobooks I need to listen to but for some reason, I keep getting new ones from the library. So my mid-year resolution is to listen to one of the audiobooks I have each month. If I get to one then hopefully I won’t buy any new ones and let my credits build-up for a few months. Then I am going to lose my mind and buy a ton. Hopefully, there will be an outstanding 3 for 1 sale! Hint hint Audible.

Currently Watching

Now that I have binged all of Manifest and I am not going to get to resolve any of the pieces of that part show, I have moved on to Lupin. I loved season 1 and now that season 2 is out I hope it’s just as amazing and wonderful as it started out. If you haven’t watched it, trust me it’s so worth it if you are a mystery show watcher. Lupin is a retelling of the classic French story about Arsène Lupin, the world-famous gentleman thief and master of disguise.
