Sunday Post & Stacking the Shelves - 06/14/20

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.

It's been a good week. Husband was off work this week to start work on building a fence around our pool. It rained the first three days this week though. And his lumber delivery was delayed until Saturday. My mom kept the kids for us Wednesday and Thursday nights and Friday during the day. I got a lot accomplished. I pressure washed the concrete around the pool, sanded and spray painted our patio furniture, and mowed the grass. Well Husband and I tag-teamed mowing the grass. I haven't re-read any books in years, but over the last week I've re-read A Court of Thorns and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas.

Goodreads description--From USA Today bestselling author Mimi Matthews comes a Victorian tale of love and longing in a quaint English village.

A Secret Burden…

After a mysterious sojourn in Paris, Beryl Burnham has returned home to the village of Shepton Worthy ready to resume the life she left behind. Betrothed to the wealthy Sir Henry Rivenhall, she has no reason to be unhappy—or so people keep reminding her. But Beryl’s life isn’t as perfect as everyone believes.

A Longstanding Love…

As village curate, Mark Rivenhall is known for his compassionate understanding. When his older brother’s intended needs a shoulder to lean on, Mark’s more than willing to provide one. There’s no danger of losing his heart. He already lost that to Beryl a long time ago.

During an idyllic Victorian summer, friends and family gather in anticipation of Beryl and Sir Henry’s wedding. But in her darkest moment, it’s Mark who comes to Beryl’s aid. Can he help her without revealing his feelings—or betraying his brother?

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!
