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 was an eventful week. Last Sunday morning I woke up with a sore throat. By Monday I was coughing a good bit. Went to the doctor on Wednesday and was diagnosed with bronchitis. I'm feeling much better now, but I still have a pesky cough at times. I've been spending most of the week tidying up the house. Friday I was off work to clean the entire day. Saturday, I had about 10 ladies and a few kids over to the house for a Pinterest party. If you guys are interested in me doing a post about that, let me know. I was running around like a crazy person, so I didn't really get any pictures. I'm hoping some of the other ladies snagged a few. Of course after you have a party at your house, you have to re-clean afterwards. So I spent most of Saturday afternoon doing that. It was a lot of fun though. Also, this week, I did my first kind of discussion post in a new periodic feature I'm calling Discussions Only We Know. I'd love for you to stop by and check it out, I need some input.

Now fully embedded among the Gold ruling class, Darrow continues his work to bring down Society from within. A life-or-death tale of vengeance with an unforgettable hero at its heart, Golden Son guarantees Pierce Brown’s continuing status as one of fiction’s most exciting new voices.

Goodreads description--Can true love strike twice?After the death of her first love, Melanie Michaels buries her grief in the risky demands of a reality show, where her extreme stunts leave her teetering on the edge danger. That’s exactly where she wants to be—until she arranges for her crew to traverse the Swedish Lapland in the dead of winter. It’s the one place she shouldn’t go, on the one day she should avoid—her would-be wedding anniversary.
Instead of romantic nights spent in the Ice Hotel or under the Northern Lights, Melanie is stuck with Joe “Buck” Wright, a snarky loner tour guide who loves his sled dogs and nothing and no one else. But Buck is also trying to numb a painful past. Can two people skilled at pushing others away find warmth at the edge of the Arctic?

Goodreads description--From the New York Times bestselling author of If I StayAllyson Healey's life is exactly like her suitcase—packed, planned, ordered. Then on the last day of her three-week post-graduation European tour, she meets Willem. A free-spirited, roving actor, Willem is everything she’s not, and when he invites her to abandon her plans and come to Paris with him, Allyson says yes. This uncharacteristic decision leads to a day of risk and romance, liberation and intimacy: 24 hours that will transform Allyson’s life.
A book about love, heartbreak, travel, identity, and the “accidents” of fate, Just One Day shows us how sometimes in order to get found, you first have to get lost. . . and how often the people we are seeking are much closer than we know.
The first in a sweepingly romantic duet of novels. Willem’s story—Just One Year—is coming soon!
