The Sunday Post - a chance for bloggers to have a chat and catch-up - is hosted by Kimba, here: http://caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/ and it's Monday! What are you reading is hosted by Kathryn, here: https://bookdate.blogspot.co.nz/
Let's see ... I actually managed to post a mobile game review last week, for Gordon Ramsay's Dash. I also did a bit of research and started a post on my next awesome lady - Chinese astronomer Wang Zheyi. I'm hoping to get that post up this week.
I had my job interview last Tuesday, but I don't know anything yet. The woman who conducted the interview has some personal stuff going on, but she did let me know that I had interviewed well. Hopefully I'll know something by the end of this week.
Other than that ... I went pub quizzing with my quiz team on Wednesday, and we came third, which was nice.
I got some stitching done on the project I'm doing for my friend who is going to police college next month. I'm hoping I'll have it finished by the time she graduates next year. I also embarked on season 3 of Hannibal, which I didn't finish when it was on TV, so I'm hopeful this time around.
It's spawn's last week of school before two weeks of holiday, so I'm mentally preparing myself for that - lol.
I'm still reading The Girl with Seven Names, though I've paused it for now - the ebook was due back at the library, and now it's on my hold list. I need something short and fun, I think.
What else. Oh! It's the 10-year anniversary of Dewey's Readathon next month: http://www.24hourreadathon.com/ and in celebration, there's a 30-day challenge, which I'm doing on instagram. Here are the prompts, if you want to play along ...
Happy Sunday!

DeleteI have a friend who does pub quizzing and loves it! Fun stuff. And your post on the astronomer sounds interesting, I look forward to that.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Sunday!
Pub quizzing is fun. I'm hoping to have the post up this week. Thank you!
DeleteOoh, dang, I'm so tempted to do that 24 hour readathon now. Except I know I can't handle it :D but I'll think about it...
ReplyDeleteI hope you hear back from the interview people, and I hope it's good news too :) have a great week!
I never do the full 24 hours. I spend a lot of time on twitter - lol. This year I'm hoping to get several hours in on the Sunday, though. Thank you! :)
DeleteI wish I could do a 24 hour read a thon. Stupid job always ruins everything! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteBoo, work ;) You too!
DeleteGood luck on the job! I guess the Dewey's Read-a-Thon started just before I began blogging...but I've only done short bits during the events.
ReplyDeleteI would love to do it for the whole time.
Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
Thank you! The readathon is always fun, however you take part :)
DeleteIt sounds to me that you've head a busy and fun week. I hope you get the job. Enjoy your books and have a wonderful week. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, me too!
DeleteNow that's what I call and busy week. Sounds like all kinds of fun stuff going on. Got to ask though, what's a pub quiz?
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday Post
Basically you gather a group of friends - usually about 4-6 - head to the pub, and if the pub is one that hosts a quiz, you put your heads together and answer a series of questions in several categories. The one we go to runs this quiz every week: https://www.believeitornot.co.nz/ and it's a lot of fun.
DeleteI look forward to reading your post about Wang Zheyi. I love reading about awesome women. I can't believe it's been ten years since the start of Dewey's Read-athon. That doesn't seem possible. I am glad things went well with the interview. Hopefully you will hear something soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week!
It's hard to believe it's been 10 years for sure. Thank you! :)
DeleteSorry to hear you didn't finish The Girl With The Seven Names. Did you enjoy the part that you read, or was it just a "did not finish" kind of book? I hope you enjoy reading this week, and you find something fun and short to read!
ReplyDeleteMy It's Monday! What Are You Reading? post.
I was really enjoying it but it had to go back to the library. I have the ebook on hold so I can hopefully finis it.
DeleteSounds like a good week. Good luck getting the job. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGood luck with the continuing job search. Come see what I'm reading
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteI hate when a book returns to the library and then you have to go back on the holds list. I have a fun cozy mystery on my list if you are looking for short, fun reads. Girl Who Reads
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely frustrating!
DeleteI have never heard of the Girl with 7 names- checking this out tho- and never done a Dewey Challenge- but I am all over this- November looks pretty slow so far so sounds fun!
