The Sunday Post - 1st Edition

 The Sunday Post - 1st Edition 4/14/13 (4/7-4/13/13)

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.

Welcome to my very first Sunday Post! I've been planning to participate in this meme for a while, and I finally got (mostly) organized enough to do it! :)

My news & updates:

• Look at the slider above - I finally put something in there that applies to Phantasmic Reads! They aren't fancy or professional, but I did them all by myself. :)
• I also added a section on the right sidebar listing all current giveaways on the blog. I'll probably tweak it a bit, but for now at least they are accessible. 
• Monday is April 15th. For those who live in the US, you know the significance of that date. For me, the day means even more since I actually do income taxes at one of my jobs. You know what it means? More free time!

How people found Phantasmic Reads:

Someone made it to Phantasmic Reads by searching for:

"mother rule" "from hell"

Yeah. Not sure how that happened.
