Sunday Post #7


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.

I haven't posted much in the past week. I just started my Masters course in Psychology, so this week went by before I knew it. I have been wanting to do a Sunday Post for a while though!

the haul

WON



I won a signed hardback of Gameboard of the Gods by Richelle Mead this week, thanks to the amazingtastic giveaway at The Readers Den! I LOVE Jasprit and Rachel's blog and it was so great to win GotG which I've been wanting to read since I don't know when xD Rachel also sent me a really cute postcard along with it (yay!):


I've started reading Gameboard and while it's taking me a while to figure out the intricacies of the world of GotG, I get the feeling that I'll  be racing through the pages soon! Thanks guys! ❤

Also, courtesy St. Martin's Press and the Readers Cosmos Review Program, I received:



The Prey was one heck of an adrenaline rush... even better than The Hunt, in many ways! I also finished reading The Homing Pigeons this week and my review will be up soon!

BOUGHT


I bought this one on an impulse... on discovering it through a Facebook ad! It was around 0.95$ and sounded like the perfect guilty pleasure at that moment!

    Gameboard of the Gods sounds such a good read! I had it for review but completely forgot to download it. I need to get a copy of it soon. Rachel's post-card is really cute!
    I thought you were still on your blogging hiatus, so I haven't been around much, but it's good to know you still post stuff.
    Hope your exams were alright!
    Happy reading, Pooja! :)

    I should really read Richelle Mead's books. I feel sort of embarrassed that I haven't read any of hers yet. Anyway, enjoy your goodies and happy reading :)

    Ooh, Gameboard of the Gods! I haven't gotten around to it yet. Not sure if I want to, but of course I'm waiting for you to convince me to read it, Pooja. <3 Rachel's postcard is very sweet! I'm glad that the book has arrived safely to your house. :)

    Can't wait to read your reviews of The Hunt series! <3 On a totally unrelated note, I love the cloth you uses for the background! It's so pretty, just like what I imagined cloth from India would be. ;)

    Happy reading, Pooja! <3
