The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Reviewer. 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.
Random News And Goings-On
Well, this past week was a little bit better than the previous one. Some of my anxiety has eased off a bit and I was able to read. A lot. I’ve actually been reading like mad. Things are about to get busy though so we’ll see if that continues.
Yesterday we had friends over for an RPG, Blades in the Dark. It was a fun one and based on a storytelling system with fewer game mechanics, which I appreciate. Today I have to (finally) take my one cat to the vets. She’s been feeling better but I know she’ll have another episode eventually, so best to get her looked at and see what, if anything, can be done.
Next weekend I’ll be down in the DC suburbs staying at a friend’s house and attending the CapClave convention. This is my first time going to that one, so very much looking forward to that and also hanging out with friends. The challenge will be getting some posts pre-scheduled before then for the blog and also coordinating with my husband so he knows how to take care of the cats while I’m away.
New Book Arrivals at Way Too Fantasy
Ebooks
I’ve gone a little bit crazy with ebooks over the last couple of weeks–mainly due to sales but also picked up a couple of things just because.
- The Municipalists by Seth Fried – I was interested when this one came out and it was on sale recently so couldn’t resist.
- The Scar by China Mieville – Was thinking of reading this as a back up for one of my book bingo squares and it was on sale so yay!
- The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell – I don’t know why I picked this one up except that I’ve heard amazing things about it and it was on sale and I might put off reading it for a long time because reasons.
- Wolfsong by T.J. Klune – our HEA pick for October – read this one last week already and it was amazing! Laughed, cried, was on the edge of my seat.
- The Widow of Rose House by Diana Biller – not a speculative fiction, but a romance and something that I think I’m very much in the mood for shortly.
I also received two eARCs, thanks much to the authors for reaching out! Very much looking forward to both of these.
- Legacy of Ghosts by Alicia Wanstall-Burke
- A Beginning at the End by Mike Chen

The Sparrow is amazing, but super sad and hard to read in spots. But brilliant. Oh boy, I need to read it again!
That’s what I’ve heard so I really need to save it for a day when I don’t mind bawling lol. 😀
Glad you had a better week 🙂
Thanks, Cathy!

Thanks, Kaya! Hopefully I’ll get to them soon. 🙂
Thanks for including me! I saw on Twitter you were loving Wolfsong and I’m intrigued… 🙂
You’re welcome! Wolfsong was *just* my type of book. Hopefully will have a review up in the next couple of weeks.
Looking forward to your thoughts on The Sparrow! It’s been on my list a long time!
It may be a while til I get to that one but hopefully not too long. 🙂
You had such a good week – hope that trend continued 😀
