The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer, and Showcase Sunday is hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea and inspired by Pop Culture Junkie and the Story Siren. They’re a chance to share news, a post to recap the past week on your blog, highlight our newest books and see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, or bought.

It does, although I read some comments from people who didn't love it that much. Still, I try to make up my own mind.

I've been so busy too and the weather has been unseasonably warm so it's hard to sit in reading! Have a good week 🙂 My Sunday Post

I find sometimes it's difficult to read when there's so much else going on, but I hope to get back in the swing of things soon.

I thought Just in Case looked fun too. I've not read anything by Meg Rosoff before, but I have heard of her, so hoping for good things.

I read How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff years ago and really loved it and I've been meaning to pick up something else by her since. Just in Case sounds good so I may just have to add that one to my to-read list 🙂
