Sunday Post - 44 & Stacking the Shelves - 17

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.

This has been a busy week. Wednesday was our 4th anniversary (wedding not blog). It's been a great four years, and my husband is still my best friend. Back in February he gifted me with an early anniversary present--a dishwasher! WHOOOHOOO!!! And so we really took things easy--big financial goals to accomplish and all of that jazz. Oh and can't forget that today is Mother's Day. We're taking my mother-in-law out to dinner tonight and then taking my mother Tuesday night. Busy busy.

Goodreads description--In a single moment, everything changes. Seventeen-year-old Mia has no memory of the accident; she can only recall riding along the snow-wet Oregon road with her family. Then, in a blink, she finds herself watching as her own damaged body is taken from the wreck...

A sophisticated, layered, and heart-achingly beautiful story about the power of family and friends, the choices we all make, and the ultimate choice Mia commands.

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!
