Sunday Post & Stacking the Shelves - 11/08/20

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.

This was a week about playing catch up. I'd been lazy last week as much as I could so I was behind on things this week. No matter which side you fall on, I think we can all agree that this election stuff is a mess. And that's all I want to say about that. Thursday my mom came to hang out with us and babysit while I ran to the chiropractor. We've had some nice weather this week. Typically it has been cool in the morning and in the 70s by the afternoon. So we've gotten to walk twice this week. Friday I had an eye doctor appointment just to double check my trial contact. We've been trying to get some design/construction companies to come look at our house to see about adding on an additional bedroom. But getting someone to call us back has been ridiculous. You'd think people don't like to get paid. It's been a frustrating process for sure.

Goodreads description--The author of The Right Swipe and Girl Gone Viral returns with a story about finding love in all the wrong inboxes...

Beauty expert and influencer Jia Ahmed has her eye on the prize: conquering the internet today, the entire makeup industry tomorrow, and finally, finally proving herself to her big opinionated family. She has little time for love, and even less time for the men in her private messages—until the day a certain international superstar slides into her DMs, and she falls hard and fast.

There’s just one wrinkle: he has no idea who she is.

The son of a powerful Bollywood family, soap opera star Dev Dixit is used to drama, but a strange woman who accuses him of wooing her online, well, that’s a new one. As much as he’d like to focus on his Hollywood fresh start, he can’t get Jia out of his head. Especially once he starts to suspect who might have used his famous name to catfish her…

When paparazzi blast their private business into the public eye, Dev is happy to engage in some friendly fake dating to calm the gossips and to dazzle her family. But as the whole world swoons over their relationship, Jia can’t help but wonder: Can an online romance-turned-offline-fauxmance ever become love in real life?

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!
