Sunday Post - 154 & Stacking the Shelves - 110

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.

Let's see, a lot happened this week. Tuesday we went to Olive Garden to celebrate a co-worker's birthday (from last month). Oh and I had a hair cut. Wednesday was another company dress down day (love those!), and I went fabric shopping with my mom. She's going to be making the crib bedding and curtains. Thursday night we jumped into house cleaning mode...like major. Friday I had another doctors appointment and got to see little one again! That night was more of the same as the night before and ordered Pizza Hut for one of my birthday meals. Saturday my side of the family came over to the house to celebrate birthdays (mine and my brother's) and Father's Day with a swim day. It was the first time they've been to the house since we've made a few updates so that was fun. Today (actual Father's Day for the US) we'll see both of our fathers. And we're eating lunch with Husband's family to celebrate Father's Day and my birthday with them. So this has been an extremely busy week. Oh and if I didn't mention it, today is my actual birthday!

Goodreads description--For Emily, going to camp, the summer before college starts, means leaving her feuding parents alone for the next eight weeks, and coming back to divorce papers is a risk she can’t take. But no matter how many meddling phone calls, questionable hair decisions, and possibly illegal hookups she plans, her parents still march her off to Camp Champ totally against her will.

No matter. A few broken rules, and Em will be home free.

That is, until she learns Tyler Ford, her baseball coach father’s star player and her drunken party hookup, is at camp, too. And for Tyler, summer is the onramp to the biggest decision of his life: med school or major leagues. Mega hot, possibly underage Emily? A complication he does not need.

As the summer heats up with strikeouts and stolen bases will Tyler and Emily hit a home run and get what they’re after? Or will they both be thrown a curveball in the game of love?

That's it for my shelves and recaps of my past and upcoming week. What did you add to your shelves this week? Any bookish news you want to talk about? Let me know!
