Sunday Post - 169 & Stacking the Shelves - 123

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 cannot believe I am literally down to counting down the days instead of weeks until Baby Girl arrives. It blows my mind that I'm going to actually take my baby home from the hospital. In other news, Husband and I bought a new car this week. Then Friday night, we went on a date night. We went out to eat and to see The Martian, which I really enjoyed (haven't read the book in case you're wondering). We thought this might be our last opportunity for a date night before the baby comes. Plus we were celebrating Husband's birthday, which was yesterday. We did house work most of the day yesterday, and I prepped some freezer meals. But last night, we celebrated his birthday and our nephew's birthday with his side of the family. (Lots of October birthdays.)

Goodreads description--When Gia Montgomery's boyfriend, Bradley, dumps her in the parking lot of her high school prom, she has to think fast. After all, she'd been telling her friends about him for months now. This was supposed to be the night she proved he existed. So when she sees a cute guy waiting to pick up his sister, she enlists his help. The task is simple: be her fill-in boyfriend— two hours, zero commitment, a few white lies. After that, she can win back the real Bradley.

The problem is that days after prom, it's not the real Bradley she's thinking about, but the stand-in. The one whose name she doesn't even know. But tracking him down doesn't mean they're done faking a relationship. Gia owes him a favor and his sister intends to see that he collects: his ex-girlfriend's graduation party — three hours, zero commitment, a few white lies.

Just when Gia begins to wonder if she could turn her fake boyfriend into a real one, Bradley comes waltzing back into her life, exposing her lie, and threatening to destroy her friendships and her new-found relationship.

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!
