The Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer!
~ Inspired by the meme In My Mailbox.~
It's a chance to share news.
A post to recap the past week,
showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
It's been a pretty slow week for me. I finished reading one book and started reading a gazillion books at once. Am I the only one who does that? I couldn't help it. So much of good stuff out there! This is going to make the currently-reading section of today's post a little complicated! I hope everybody else had a great week and hope you have an awesome week ahead :-)
My week in review
Review: The List by Siobhan VivianReview: The Hunt (The Hunt #1) by Andrew Fukuda [Audio clip from the audio version added]
I reviewed The Hunt two weeks back but I have also included a link to an audio clip I was provided with that's from the audio book of The Hunt, read by Sean Runnette and from Macmillan Audio. Click HERE [direct link to audio clip] to listen to the clip!
Also, check out my interview with Lisa Burstein, author of Pretty Amy as a part of the Pretty Amy blog tour!
I am currently reading
ACK. This is all over the place. I would tell you but, um, it's just way too many books at the same time. I feel very weird listing all of them! I'm just going to add that I've started reading Torn by Amanda Hocking in addition to the books I was already in the middle of reading. I couldn't resist since I've been wanting to read it ever since I read Switched and... I love it so far! It is so amazing and I LOVE all the new characters. I like Duncan and oh my goodness, LOKI!! ❤ But *hangs head in shame* I need to stop reading a million things at once!
And here's my book haul for the week
Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry * BEA Buzz Books: Excerpts from over 30 Top Fall 2012 Titles from Publishers Lunch
I'm so excited about Pushing the Limits!!! It sounds intense and unputdownable! Thank you so much, Harlequin! I also got an email from NetGalley shortly after saying I'd been auto-approved for Harlequin's NG titles which made my day! ☺

BEA Buzz Books is a read-now galley and I loved reading the excerpts from several Fall 2012 titles. They were quite a few YA excerpts and I loved reading all of them. I will be posting about the BEA Buzz Books whose release I'm most excited about soon!
Kindle Freebies
Glimpse (Zellie Wells #1) by Stacey Wallace Benefiel * Farsighted by Emlyn Chand
I don't know much about Glimpse but it caught my attention since its cover is similar to Intangible by J. Meyers and both the covers are pretty in totally different ways! The synopsis also sounded pretty awesome! When it was free in the Kindle Store, I snatched it up! Can't wait to read it!
Farsighted sounds totally unique as well and I can't wait to read it!
What are you currently reading? And what books did you get this week?
I look forward to your reviewing of Pushing the Limits. I wanted to grab it..but to many arcs and tbr books at the moment..LOL Glimpse looks good and so does Farsighted. Looks like you had a great review, and i am going to ck out your audio review of Hunt,since i loved that book. Thanks for being a part of The Sunday Post
ReplyDeleteI've added a clip from the audio book as multimedia content to my original review. Wish I could do an audio review as well, though :o) I'm excited for Glimpse, Farsighted and Pushing the Limits too xD Thanks for checking out my Sunday Post, Kimba <33
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of The Glimpse before, but I like the cover.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all your books, Pooja :D
Great round up, I'm going to check out your review of The List!
ReplyDeleteI got Pushing the Limits too, it sounds great!
Oh thanks for the heads up on the freebies Ajoop! I jut grabbed them! I also got pushing the limits not sure when I will get the chance to read it though :( I'm currently reading Saving June I started it on Wednesday but because of a family wedding I couldn't read anything for the last 4 days! :( I'm hoping to get stuck back in later tonight! Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteReading a million things at once? It's totally a valid problem LOL! Sometimes it's hard not too because you might be currently reading a book when a really awesome one that you've been anticipating shows up at your door and how can you resist? x) But LOKI!! <3 You don't know how excited I am to see a heart next to his name on your post because ohmygoodness I love him so much! And everyone seems to be falling in love with Pushing the Limits (and this Noah guy!) so I'll be waiting for your review too :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome Sunday post, Ajoop! <3
LOL, just like you, Ajoop: I also need to stop reading things at once! x) It's awesome to hear that you get Pushing the Limits, and then you get it auto-approved from Harlequin! YAY for auto-approved! I'm very happy for you too! <3 I can't wait to hear what you think of Pushing the Limits, because so far I heard it's a gripping and intense read! Hopefully your review would be a glowing one too! x)
ReplyDeleteI really need to read Switched! Everyone say that the second book of that series is even more amazing than the first! I really need to prove it! Can't wait to read your review of Glimpse, I hope it's amazing! :)
Happy reading, and enjoy your books, Ajoop! Have a lovely week ahead! :)
Pushing the Limits seems so good! Intense and unputdownable sounds like what I would use to describe it too, haha. I can't wait to read it. Hooray for being auto approved! I hope you enjoy your books. :)
ReplyDeleteI have times where I'm reading a million things at once too :) But sounds like you have some good stuff coming up! Hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
