Sunday Post 74; It's Monday, what are you reading? 59


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 ...
I think that's all ... what about you? How's your week? What are you reading?

    1. 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! :)

  6. Good 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.

    I would love to do it for the whole time.

    Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.

    1. 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.

  9. I 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.

    I hope you have a great week!

  10. Sorry 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!

  12. I 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
