Sunday Post - 221 & Stacking the Shelves - 158

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 week was a whirlwind. (They all seem to be lately.) Monday I had a hair appointment so my mother-in-law babysat for me. She actually took Little Girl most of the day for me. I did a few little cleaning projects at the house, but I had 3 glorious hours to do nothing but read! That's unheard of these days, and it was a nice day. Tuesday I went to vote (we won't go into details there). Husband and I did stay up late watching the results. I think I went to bed at 12:30 am and he stayed up until about 2:00 am. Thursday night my parents came over. My dad built a cabinet to go in our master bathroom on the wall over the toilet. It's a small bathroom so any extra storage is a huge deal and having my dad be able to build and install it for us saved us a good bit of money. Friday Little Girl had a doctor's appointment. Just the normal check up, but she did have to get shots...bless her! She's also in the top 95% for height.

Goodreads description--God designed men to be dangerous, says John Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires-aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be-dangerous, passionate, alive, and free!

Goodreads description--According to sixteen-year-old Zander Osborne, nowhere is an actual place—and she’s just fine there. But her parents insist that she get out of her head—and her home state—and attend Camp Padua, a summer camp for at-risk teens.

Zander does not fit in—or so she thinks. She has only one word for her fellow campers: crazy. In fact, the whole camp population exists somewhere between disaster and diagnosis. There’s her cabinmate Cassie, a self-described manic-depressive-bipolar-anorexic. Grover Cleveland (yes, like the president), a cute but confrontational boy who expects to be schizophrenic someday, odds being what they are. And Bek, a charmingly confounding pathological liar.

But amid group “share-apy” sessions and forbidden late-night outings, unlikely friendships form, and as the Michigan summer heats up, the four teens begin to reveal their tragic secrets. Zander finds herself inextricably drawn to Grover’s earnest charms, and she begins to wonder if she could be happy. But first she must come completely unraveled to have any hope of putting herself back together again.
