The Sunday Post #13 – Weekly Wrap-up
Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event.
For New Year, we celebrated with some close friends, and ended up being six adults and eight children for the evening and night. We shared some good food, good drinks, great memories and had a really good time. I hope your new year was a good one, too, and that 2015 will be a fantastic year all around.

Thanks for the INKED love 🙂 I’m glad you had a great New Year’s! I actually didn’t even make it until midnight to watch the ball drop, my kids had been sick with the flu so I was wore out and we all fell asleep haha.
Have a great week Lexxie!
Oh well, if we hadn’t had guests, I would have never made it until midnight either, Christy. I was so tired by the time they left 🙂
Sorry your kids have been sick, I hope everyone is feeling all better now!
Aww, what a wonderful way to ring in the new year, Lexxie! We had a quiet evening at home with the kids. I hope 2015 brings you many wonderful things, my friend. Happy Sunday. **BIG HUGS**
I’m pretty sure 2015 will be a fantastic year, Brandee – I get to meet YOU in May, so there’s no way the year isn’t going to be amazing 🙂
*BIG HUGS*
Looks like a great New Years meal, and glad you had a great ringing in of the New Year. I liked your comment appreciation post, what a great idea! Hope your new year is starting off well and happy reading.
We had a wonderful time ringing in the New Year, Greg. I thought it was a nice gesture towards my fellow bloggers who take the time out of their busy lives to come and comment here so often 🙂 And at the same time, I made them all read one of my favorite indie-authors 🙂
Happy New Year, and thanks for stopping by.
We had a quiet new years eve, which was nice, I was even being able to get some reading done. Although I did have a headache so I went to sleep as soon as the worst of the fireworks was over.
I only read one book for Coyer, so I am really impressed you already got 13 books read!
I’ve read a lot of short-stories and novellas, Lola. I have been digging into my kindle freebies for COYER 🙂
I hope your headache is but a memory now, and that you’re feeling great once more 🙂
Msty this week was about having a party and food: shopping, cooking, eating, cleaning up from same. And paper lanterns!
Good food and partying sounds like the perfect way both to end a year, and to start a new one, Steph 🙂
I fell asleep and never even heard the fireworks. LOL
I’m ready to begin a new year and have some fun.
Oh well, the New Year still arrived, right? I hope you will have lots of fun in 2015, Laura!
Your holiday table looks awesome! It is fun to celebrate at home with friends and family.
Enjoy the new week…and I should probably check out COYER, as most of my unread books now are on Sparky.
Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Oh, COYER is really great for me, Laurel-Rain! I am so grabby when it comes to free or cheap books, and then they just sit there. I’m sure Sparky would be happy if you made things easier by reading some of those e-books 🙂

So glad you had a great New Years! Home with family and friends is the best way to spend it.
I totally missed your stacking the shelves post yesterday, I love seeing what you got, going over now to check it out 🙂
I hope you have a great week, Lexxie and a very Happy New Year! oxox
Yeah, we really had a great evening / night, and it was such a good way to start the new year 🙂
Be careful with the freebies I got – you want to actually clean out your e-reader, right, not fill it up :p
Have a great week, Michelle.

We didn’t do anything for New Years, I just read a book..lol. I really have no life..lol. You are rocking those COYER books, I have read like 5 but that is really pretty good for me as I am a slow reader. 🙁 I knocked two out for the New Years Read-a-thon as I got smart and read a short story for one..hehe. 🙂
Have a great week!
Stormi
Several of my COYER books are short-stories or novellas, so they’re not full-length books, Stormi.
Nice and quiet for New Years sounds good, too, and reading is ALWAYS a good idea 🙂

!3 books is great Lexxie, I have only posted a review of one, but have some scheduled. No idea how many I’ve read so far..LOL Sounds like you had an delightful New Year’s celebration. Happy New Year!!
I created a shelf on Goodreads, and I also have a selection on my kindle… I have to know all the time how I’m doing with challenges 😀
Happy New Year to you, too, Kim.
Looks like a fun celebration!
It really, was, Brandi! Nice and quiet, spending a great evening with awesome friends 🙂

Looks like you had a great New Year’s. I didn’t do much, just watched some football and even with a late game, I still didn’t make it to midnight. I’m not a late night person. Great job on you COYER reads.
Yeah, we had a really good time, Melanie 🙂 I am sometimes a late-night person, and other times not at all.
Have a great evening 🙂
Fantastic way to bring in the new year! I stayed home and binge watched on Netflix. :/
That sounds really nice as well, Charlie 🙂
Sounds like a lovely New Years! 13 books for COYER! I’m very impressed. I’m definitely hoping to make some progress on my review books combined with taking on less review books so I can actually read some of those books that are taking up space on my TBR shelves and on my Kindle. Have a great week!
Oh, I agree, I really need to take on less review books, too, I own so many books I want to read 🙂
YAY! We did the same thing. We had a group of adults and kids all together to bring in the New Year. We had some fireworks and food. It was a lot of fun. So glad you enjoyed your celebration!! I hope the New Year has great things in store for you 😀
Having friends over both for the adults and for the kids is the best way to celebrate 🙂 I’m glad you had such a nice time, too, Jaclyn.
I hope 2015 will be an amazing year 🙂

Wow! 13 books for COYER already! Yall are kicking my butt (per the usual)! I hope you’ve read lots of goodies.
Looks like you had a nice holiday spread. So great to ring in the new year with family and friends 🙂 here’s to a great 2015!
Yeah, but don’t let the short-stories fool you, Berls 🙂 Some of them have been good, others not so much, and I just did my first DNF for 2015.
Have a wonderful Wednesday 🙂
