Sunday Post - 219 & Stacking the Shelves - 156

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.

I keep thinking that things are going to slow down, and we'll be back to a normal week with nothing going on, but that's not been the case. Wednesday was our biggest day this week. That morning I took Little Girl up to Daddy's work so I could get a flu shot and so Daddy could show off his little girl. Then we came home so she could take a nap. Then we went to visit with my sister and 5 week old niece. Wednesday night we went to a local fall festival. That was overwhelming. I can see it being much more fun when Little Girl is old enough to really play the games and such. Thursday my sister-in-law and her mother came over to work on some Bible Art Journaling. Then we went to Olive Garden for lunch. And then Saturday we went to a housewarming party for some friends. Happy Halloween tomorrow!

Goodreads description--Sometimes you just have to take flight.

A summer in New Orleans is exactly what Allie needs before starting college. Accepting her dad’s invitation to work at his hotel offers an escape from her ex-boyfriend and the chance to spend the summer with her best friend. Meeting a guy is the last thing on her mind—until she sees Levi.

Unable to resist the infuriating yet alluring Levi, Allie finds herself at the center of a supernatural society and forced to decide between following the path she has always trusted or saving a city that might just save her.

  2. I never got the flu shot until I got pregnant and then I was trying to protect my little one more than myself (and even still). I can't imagine you not finishing the Throne of Glass series, but hey I've DNF'd a series in the middle before though. Thanks for stopping by and commenting Alyssa!

  4. Yes, I have a feeling that'll be the same for me too. Sometimes freebies (even books that have been really popular) get put on the back-burner for me. Maybe I should write a discussion post about that soon.
