I am combining two great blog hops: Stacking The Shelves (a Saturday feature by Team Tynga's Reviews), and Sunday Post (a Sunday feature by the Caffeinated Book Reviewer). Both of these features give people a chance to post about what books they received and also an opportunity to catch a glimpse of what others are excited about. I really enjoy seeing everyone's version of these features! All book covers are linked to Goodreads, if you want to check them out. If you enjoy my blog, please consider following me via Bloglovin, Networked Blogs, GFC, or by email subscription. If you leave a comment and tell me you are a new follower, I will follow you back!
Last Week on the Blog:
This past week, I reviewed a really fun YA Series by Ashley Poston. The first book, which I got from the Library, is called Geekerella. It's a modern re-telling of (you guessed it), Cinderella. The other book is The Princess and The Fangirl. I actually won that book in a Goodreads giveaway! Wishes do come true!

More Thoughts:
I've been really assessing what to do with my blog and book reviews. I don't get many hits on the blog, so I'm considering doing some reviews on either Instagram or YouTube. Have you done either of your reviews on those platforms? I would love to know your opinions on whether or not you watch book reviews on Instagram or YouTube.
In "Real Life":
This is my last week of vacation before the new job begins! My daughter and I took the Ferry in to San Francisco and spent the day there. It was so fun, but I got teary a bit when I thought about my kid leaving soon for college. I'll miss these outings.
We started at the SF Ferry Building. It was a foodies paradise with shops selling everything from locally made cheeses and oils, to mushroom jerky! Since my daughter is a vegetarian, we tried the veggie steamed bun at The Slanted Door's to go place called Out The Door. They were reasonably priced, delicious, and the perfect small portion.
Next we headed to SFMOMA for two exhibitions: The JR mural, The Chronicles of San Francisco, and the Andy Warhol collection. Both were amazing. I am a huge fan of JR. He is a French artist and humanitarian. His mural shows hundreds of regular San Francisco residents moving around a giant screen. You can then download an App, point it at any of the people, and it will tell you who they are with a short audio clip. Amazing! This piece really captured how diverse and wonderful San Francisco is. It was another fun trip and the perfect way to finish out my vacation.

That's it for this week. Have a great Fourth of July celebration (if your in the States, that is).
Ooh nice new reads! All new to me ones! I hope you enjoy each and every one of them!
ReplyDeleteMy STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!

I actually have Geekerella on my kindle somewhere... I guess I should finally read it, eh?
ReplyDeleteI bet it's sad to know your daughter is leaving for college soon. This is very different in Europe, as most kids go to school in the same city where they live, so they don't move out. (Sometimes, it seems like they never will!)
Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.

Geekrella was a good book and Hot Dog girl sounds hilarious. #stackingtheshelves.

Geekerella is on my kindle. I haven't read it though. Glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteSan Francisco is a city I'd like to visit one day.
Have a good week!
Im old fashioned, I much prefer reading blogs, I’m not interested in bookstagram, and rarely watch booktube.
ReplyDeleteThat mural sounds fantastic, I’ll have to look the artist up.
Have a great reading week
I love those book covers. As to your question about changing to vlogging and IG, there's no harm in trying one or both platforms for a while to see how you get on.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week and enjoy your reads.
