Sunday Post #44

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It's a chance to share news ~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share new about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.

~~~~~~~~~~

Where did the weekend go? I was so excited for it to come and it's almost over. I know what happened. My husband's project. Yesterday was spent painting the bathroom. He took it apart and was ready to start when the kiddo's friend wasn't able to go throw football with him. So husband took him and I took over the painting. *grumble, grumble* I had lots of things of my own to get done. And now the week will be starting and I'm behind the eight ball already.

I can't believe we are on the last week of February either! Okay, I seem a bit grumpy. Sorry. I'll work on that.

I'm hoping for a productive week. Lots to get accomplished around here. And I want to go get a new laptop today too. So, if they have what I want, it might start off good. ;)

Received Last Weeks:

Review:

The Lascar's Dagger by Glenda Larke
Goodreads Synopsis:
Faith will not save him.

Saker appears to be a simple priest, but in truth he's a spy for the head of his faith. Wounded in the line of duty by a Lascar sailor's blade, the weapon seems to follow him home. Unable to discard it, nor the sense of responsibility it brings, Saker can only follow its lead.


The dagger puts Saker on a journey to distant shores, on a path that will reveal terrible secrets about the empire, about the people he serves, and destroy the life he knows. The Lascar's dagger demands a price, and that price will be paid in blood.


Purchased/Winnings/Gifts:

I purchased this as I have plans for the future. Maybe it will give you a clue as to the plans. ;)

I won a signed book plate to go in my copy of Dirty Magic by Jaye Wells. :D

Free Ebooks:

The Girl Who Wasn't by Heather Hildenbrand
(This is the adult book of Imitation)
Goodreads Synopsis:
The Girl Who Wasn’t : a New Adult novel
a SEXY retelling of Imitation

Everyone is exactly like me.
There is no one like me.
The rough fabric of my cotton nightgown chafes so I lie very still. They say my discomfort comes from being built like one accustomed to niceties. How is that fair when I myself have never experienced anything but copies of the real thing?
My entire life is an imitation.
I am an Imitation.
I’ve been here five years. Training. Preparing. Waiting.
And now I have a letter.
My assignment has begun.
I am a prisoner.
I am not Raven Rogen.
I am here to die.

**Adult content. Not suitable for young readers**

Hybrid by Brian O'Grady
Goodreads Synopsis:
A virus engineered for genocide has been released in Colorado Springs, leading to mass, and seemingly unexplained violence. Some of the survivors of the infection begin to evolve into something that is both less than and more than human. The race is on to prevent world-wide release of the virus.
