Sunday Post
Sunday Post is a weekly feature hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Reviewer. It's main purpose is similar to that of a Sunday newspaper; recap of the week gone by, additions to your library and what is going on in the book blogging community.
Welcome to my Sunday Post of the fortnight, as some may have noticed I do a Sunday Post every 2nd Sunday rather than every Sunday, I just don't buy enough books to do a weekly haul post. This week however, I've had PLENTY of books come in but I haven't had the chance to take pics of my big haul so I will just leave it for either next week or the following fortnight.
I'm just curious, do you all do a Stacking of the Shelves/In My Mailbox and Sunday Post weekly? Are some Sunday posts shorter than others?
For the bloggers that use Blogger, do you use the default comment app? I can't seem to get the threaded comments working for my blog so I decided to trial Disqus for a week. It kept using my profile pic despite the comments coming from others, so I removed it and it removed all my comments during the time I was trialing it! I'm researching into alternatives and contacted Blogger to try and get my threaded comments working as that's all I want from Disqus anyway. So I'd like to know, Blogger users, what do you use for your comments? How are you finding that?

Badass Bookie had an event where she featured 2013 Debutantes (debuting Authors). It's such an awesome feature which is in it's third year running with awesome giveaways and I won Dualed by Elsie Chapman. Thank you Lisa!
Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger
Enthralled by Melissa Marr edited by Kelley Armstrong
Insurgent by Veronica Roth
The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson
These are just my buys. Enthralled is actually a compilation of different YA Paranormal Authors with Kami Garcia (Beautiful Creatures), Rachel Vincent (Soul Screamer Series), Ally Condie (Matched Trilogy), Rachel Caine (The Morganville Vampires) just to name a few of the included Authors. It's actually a short-story book, so each short story is written by one Author.
The Sky is Everywhere is a book I've had on my wishlist for awhile and I was so lucky to found it at my local "discount" book stall, and I cannot believe at how pretty the cover is! It comes with a little ribbon to close it like a journal.
These are the non-fictions I've bought. The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. There is also an included journal to accompany this book and Kikki-K stationery store here in Australia also have workshops. Check out the links provided if your interested.
The other two are miniatures "For Dummies" books. As you can see I'm not a very decent photographer hence these books LOL

Sunday Post
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 news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.
Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews which was inspired by In my Mailbox by The Story Siren. It's objective is to showcase your newly acquired books. To participate click on the button above.As many of you may have known I've been actively but selectively seeking out weekly features/meme to participate in. This is the first time I'm participating in the Sunday Post, and I really like it's all-in-one concept. So rather than doing two different post when Stacking the Shelves is generally the same as one component of the Sunday Post I thought I'd join the two.
This week my library additions are quite slim. Despite me receiving quite a few boxes of books in my physical mailbox I'm yet to get it redelivered to my home address or pick it up so I'm not including it till I'm able to post pics of them, hopefully it'd have arrived by next week's post.

The Week Gone By
Since this is my first Sunday Post I thought I'd post about the week gone by plus a little bit. These are posts from the first day of this month (Feb 2013). Does anyone have any ideas how else I can put these posts up rather than a linked list? If you have any ideas of a more creative way to do this pls comment below. How do you do your Sunday post?

Stacking the Shelves
Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews and Showcase Sunday is hosted by Books, Biscuits & Tea which is inspired by In My Mailbox by The Story Siren
Hi Everyone! I just wanted to apologize as my meme posts have been late. I've been putting priority on Author Interviews and book tours as they are commitment I've made to others. I'm still getting the hang of blogging full time so I haven't got the schedule thing down pack. Please bare with me till I get my footing.
I'm contemplating on doing the Sunday Post hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer,
as I'm looking for a meme that has the Stacking the Shelves and IMM
component but also has a weekly recap and the upcoming posts of the
week. If you have any other recommendations for a similar meme that I'm
looking for, please comment below.

Stacking the Shelves
Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It's objective is to share the books you have acquired/purchased/been gifted/borrowed this week.
I haven't been to my local libraries for awhile, so when I finally got there, there were quite a few additions and New Releases so I couldn't help myself. These were accumulated through a few weeks though, so truly I'm not that bad.
