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!
On The Blog:
Last week, I reviewed two books. The Wedding Date was a fun (and very adult) light rom-com. Hot Dog Girl was a delightful YA book about a girl working at an amusement park. Both would make for some entertaining summer reading.
In "Real Life":
I started my new job at my school district! I really love the people, but I have SO MUCH TO LEARN! I know I can do this, but it is hard to go from a job I was really good at to one where I'm a complete beginner. But I am just so happy to have this job.
We also had an awesome time in Sonoma, California visiting my brother-in-law on the Fourth of July. After a relaxing visit, we went to watch the fireworks in downtown Sonoma. What a gem of a celebration! We sat in a field, wrapped in blankets, sipping vodka tonics as the sun set. When it was dark enough, the fireworks began. They were spectacular and lasted 45 minutes! This is an area that was devastated by wildfires just eighteen months ago. I love how the community has bonded together to celebrate life.
What a huge show for such a small community.

For Review:
I've already read Teen Titans: Raven, by Kami Garcia, and Cheshire Crossing by Andy Weir. They were both quick and fun reads. I am very excited to read Aaron Sanchez's book, Where I Come From. I am also a Sanchez, so I always perked up when he shows up on cooking shows like Master Chef. I am really excited to learn about his story.
That's it for this week. If you live in the U.S., I hope you had a great Independence Day celebration.
Ooh nice! I still need to finish the Firebird trilogy! I hope you enjoy your lovely new reads!
