The Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
I like this meme because it gives me an opportunity to take a look back at last week and forward to next week in both my personal life and my blog and book life! I also like to see what other people are doing and what books everyone is reading. This is a great meme to take part in every week and I thank Kimba for hosting it!
Last Week
Home & blog
We watched several World Cup games this week including the U.S. game. Met our son again to watch the Brazil v. Chile game on Saturday. His girlfriend came with him this time since she has a couple of weeks break in her classes. Good to see both of them and it was a fun game.
This month I’ve started a number of books, but not finished all of them. This week I finally got through them all! I’ve also got a backlog of reviews so this week I posted four reviews. A record for me, I think…LOL. I also updated my Book Review Index to add the titles of the books into the index. I’m not sure how I like that. Maybe I should have two separate indexes–one sorted by titles and one sorted by author??!

Next Week
Home & blog
A busy week next week. I’ve got lots of appointments the first part of the week and then since Friday (July 4) is Independence Day here in the U.S. we’re taking a long weekend to visit my husband’s father in Iowa. Lots of fun, but lots to do before we leave!
