The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @
Caffeinated Book Reviewer. This meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~. It’s a chance to share News; 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.
Last Week on the blog
I shared last week that school already started again and the irrepressible part of me is dealing with priority issues of whether to read the assigned readings for school or read the really good books I’ve got this week. Let’s just say that I did a little of both so all’s well that ends well. LOL 🙂 I’ll try to be a better student and finish my coursework first before reading fiction. ^__^

Oh my gosh I would be so bad at picking school books first. Good thing I didn’t find my love of fictional books until after I left school. lol Hope classes go well this week!

I thought after all these years, it gets easier. It doesn’t LOL 🙂 Really hoping for that balance. Heroes are my Weakness, I’ve already finished and I’m still an SEP fan. Broken, I will start reading this week after I’m done with my school report. 🙂 Thanks for dropping by Kim. 🙂

I liked Alienated!! It was quite awesome and the romance was so cute and adorable (I shipped them pretty hard, hehe). I hope you manage to balance your school vs. pleasure reading. That was always a toughie for me too. But then I read like EVERY second when I was in school so I squeezed it all in. Hehe.
My Sunday Post!

I like the look of the Susan Elizabeth Phillips book…I think I still have one of her unread books on my stacks…checking it out!
It is hard to read novels while in school…I wasn’t able to manage it very often, so I went crazy after getting my degrees. Enjoy! And thanks for visiting my blog.

It’s so hard… bec sometimes I would feel guilty for reading a novel that it takes out some of the good feelings away from the experience. But I’m still hoping I’ll hit that right balance… 🙂 I hope you’ll get to that SEP book soon 🙂

Heroes are My Weakness is I think a little bit out of SEP’s comfort zone but I enjoyed reading it just the same. 🙂

Oh yes trying to read stuff for school or the stuff you’re hanging to read, that’s tough isn’t it?

I wish I could tell you that once you’re out of school, you don’t have to deal with that dilemma! But I’d be lying — at least for some professions. I’m a freelance indexers (meaning I create back-of-the-book indexes) and I’ve got the same tug between the books I’ve got to read for my job and the books I want to read. Seems like what usually gets short shrift is my sleep!

But you still get to read books for a living so that’s amazing! 🙂 But I do also get that sometimes what you need to read is completely different to what you want to read.
