A Sunday Retrospective is inspired by In My Mailbox at The Story Siren and TGIF at GReads!, where I share the books that I've acquired during the week, last week's posts and interesting links.
IN MY MAILBOX
This week, I got a couple of books in the mail - one finished copy of an ARC that was sent to me, and one ARC that I've been dying to read.
Silhouette of a Sparrow by Molly Beth Griffin (Thanks Meredith of Milkweed Editions!)
Check out this week's set of posts:
- Jess of Books and Sensibility wrote about the DMV area (DC-Maryland-Virginia).
- Elena interviewed Sam of Realm of Fiction for Travel Tales!
- Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Magan hosts a love-fest for Australian authors & books.
- I shared about a few of my favorite books featuring Asian culture.
ON THE BLOG
- For a Robin Hood retelling that knocked my socks off, check out my review of Scarlet.
- What are the top ten books I've read since I started my blog? Check out my first TTT in a while!
- I featured a guest post from Jess about the DMV area!
- Even though I haven't read Princess Academy, I absolutely loved Palace of Stone.
- Speechless takes an interesting concept and a relevant issue and puts them together beautifully.
- Books featuring Asian culture definitely tickle my fancy.
AROUND THE COMMUNITY
- Erin Bowman shares some very wise advice over on Publishing Crawl!
- I'm currently reading this, but I thought I'd share - the first two chapters of The Raven Boys!
- Nine Rules to Break While Romancing a Rake is on sale for $1.99 on Kindle! Go get it NOW.

I really should get around to reading Cinder if the sequel is out, so much catching up to do!

Fictional Distraction
I may have just squeed a little (ok, maybe a lot) when I saw Scarlet. I cannot WAIT to hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for Scarlet! Love that cover.... Enjoy! My STS
ReplyDeleteOh yay for Scarlet! I just bought Cinder recently but haven't read it yet ... it looks great! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I hadn't even heard of Silhouette of a Sparrow before, but it sounds lovely (A Northern Light kind of feel, maybe?), and I adore that cover.
ReplyDeleteOh, hi!!! :) Happy Sunday, friend!
ReplyDeleteYAY -- I am so glad you got Scarlet! PLEASE PLEASE read it soon so you and I can talk about it. Then we'll have to add Alexa in on all the fun and have another group chat (i.e. Throne of Glass style). Hope you love it! Be prepared for more awesome! xoxo
Silhouette of a sparrow has a really interesting cover! I don't think I have come across it before. And you got Scarlet?! I can't wait to see what you think! :D
ReplyDeleteOh, wow Scarlet is definitely a coveted ARC right now. I really hope it lives up to the first one, I really enjoyed Cinder. Also, thanks again for inviting us in on Travel Tales !
