Wrap Up (The One Where I Finally Have a Posting Schedule Again)

I love to schedule things so it's surprising that I went so long without and "official" posting schedule. I was scheduling in my planner and everything, but I didn't have a specific day for everything that I could promise people would be the regular schedule. Well, now I do and I'm so happy! It's going to be really great having this extra level of planning and scheduling and will help keep conflicts out of blogging I hope. Without further ado:
Sunday -- Discussion or etc. post
Monday -- Review
Tuesday -- Most ARC Reviews
Wednesday -- Waiting on Wednesday
Thursday -- College Journey or etc. post
Friday -- Review
Saturday -- Wrap Up
Just a note: this schedule won't actually be implemented until the latter half of next month and there's a reason for that which I'm not going to share quite yet but will be revealed in next week's wrap up. Stay tuned!

I also want to start incorporating a "news" related portion to my weekly wrap ups where I can talk about what's been happening in the book blogging community. If there's anything you want to see my thoughts on, email me tsundokublog(at)gmail(dot)com and I'm going to start that this week as well.

News
The big thing this week revolves around the current queen of YA fantasy, Sarah J Maas and the fact that Empire of Storms was released into the wild a little earlier than expected for some people. And of those people who have been able to read it, a lot aren't happy with one thing or another. That's fine- everyone's entitled to their opinion. It isn't great for author's and publishers when books are bought early, but honestly, if I were faced with the option of picking this one up early I probably would, and still buy the three other copies I planned to get. Okay, whatever. The big problem lies with the fact that people who don't like the book are spreading that hate and sending awful messages to the author. I think there have even been death threats. Which is ridiculous on so many levels. And sickening. Don't do this shit, guys. If you want to see a great rant about it, check out Christina's post here.

Finished this Week
I finished my reread of Heir of Midnight and also read (in one day) Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies. I wasn't a huge fan of the latter, but it's an interesting book that hasn't gotten very much attention lately. My reread of Heir of Midnight has reminded me why it's my favorite in the series so far.

Currently Reading
I'm just shy of the halfway point in Ruin and Rising and will likely finish it either tomorrow or Monday. After that I'm picking up The Movie Version (an ARC that shouldn't take me took long) and then starting my reread of Queen of Shadows.

  1. The SJM thing shocked me, honestly. This whole thing is just sad. I'll definitely read Empire of Storms and even after all of the bad reviews I'm still very excited.

    1. I was shocked too! I'm not going to let people who are so awful sway my opinion on the book.
