This week's Sunday Post and Stacking the Shelves will include my experience at the Fight For the Future Tour with Amie Kaufman, Meagan Spooner, Margaret Stohl, and Marie Lu. Along with seeing my badass swag, a possible giveaway, and some long-awaited books.
The
Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a
chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on the blog,
showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is
coming up on our blog for the week ahead.
Loving the Language of Literacy Lookout and Lookback
-I
now have a blog button and other various design features are coming this
way for Loving the Language of Literacy. One of the most exciting
features is my rating system! It still follows my classic out of 5 star
review, then a number out of 10, but instead of stars, there will now be
ink jars! Someone please tell me this isn't the most adorable rating
system you have ever seen?
-I
have been in this inexplicable reading slump. My process has literally
been this. 1. Read book 2. Write a review saying it was a fun quick read
3. Feel bad because I have nothing specific to say. I'm not sure if
this is my personal slump for having expectations too high. Or if it's
that the books are actually un-gripping.
-I have been pretty consistent with my made up schedule and do not feel lousy about my posting.
-I
went to the Fight For the Future Tour at the Mysterious Galaxy
Bookstore in Redondo Beach today! I am doing an entire Spontaneous
Saturday post on it, maybe even a two-parter because I have over 45
minutes worth of footage. I am so excited to share my experience and
maybe even a giveaway!
-I
have been officially blogging for two months and one day on Loving the
Language of Literacy which is an awesome accomplishment for inconsistent
me. In that short time I have reached 75 Bloglovin followers for which I
am so grateful for and appreciative to all my lovely readers.

you have any ideas for a Spontaneous Saturday post, blog features, post
requests, or anything else, leave it in the comments below, tweet me

Stacking the Shelves
"Stacking
the Shelves" is a meme when you list the books you've added to your
shelves, virtual, physical, or whatever shape or form you get them. I am
now combining "Stacking the Shelves" with the "Sunday Post" because it
is so much a personal preference about when and what you post "Stacking
the Shelves" with. I am doing this meme once a week, so you will
probably see nothing but library books because originally, I only did
"Stacking the Shelves" as an every-time-I-go-to-the-library thing. As
people may know, “Stacking the Shelves” posts are hosted by “Tynga's Reviews”
{Disclaimer:
I am in no means trying to brag about what I got, and merely shared
this post for the benefit of my followers seeing what I so generously
received, and as a favor to the lovely people that sent me things}
