Sunday Post (September 28)

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news, a post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things received, and share news about what is coming up on the blog for the week ahead. To get in on the Sunday funday, see the rules here: Sunday Post Meme.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whew! One more week until the end of the grading period. Hello, everyone’s late work! 😉

Last week was a fantastic week on the blog. I feel like comments were up, and I was getting more meaningful comments from new people. Hello, new people! Thank you. 🙂

Even though this is the end of September and I didn’t read all of my September Sizzlers, I’ll get to them. Maybe I’ll schedule them for next September!

We have had a lot of rain in the Austin and Central Texas area, and it has been great. We needed it very much, and I’m hoping it’s not over. Thanks to the rain, I haven’t had to water my plants for an entire week!

~ New Arrivals to Land of 1000 Wonders ~

I received a children’s book series to review. I actually had to go pick up the package at the post office! The last time that happened (right before summer) they LOST my mail! I don’t know what it was or who it was from. Needless to say, I hate our post office.
