Sunday Post - 190 & Stacking the Shelves - 137

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.

Last Sunday was Easter. I totally spaced about that when prepping my post last week. Baby Girl was so cute in her Easter dress. Of course, that's not the important part of Easter. Husband and I had eye doctor appointments on Wednesday. Friday night we celebrated my nephew's 14th birthday. I cannot believe he's that old. Saturday we went to see Allegiant. I won't be doing a movie review because it's just been too long since I've read the book, but I can say that the movie was entirely different. That might be a good thing for a lot of readers since Allegiant didn't get the best book ratings.

Goodreads description--Winning what you want may cost you everything you love...

As a general’s daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions.

One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. Arin’s eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him—with unexpected consequences. It’s not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin.

But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined.

Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.

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!
