Sunday Post & Stacking the Shelves - 11/29/20

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.

Oh boy! Another crazy week in the books. Monday was normal except the kids were out of school. Tuesday, Grammy came to watch the kids while I ran to the doctor for my 4D Ultrasound. We got some really awesome pictures. However, my car started acting up on the drive there. I didn't feel comfortable driving it home so Husband met me at one car place after the doctor. We left it there to be looked at. He had to drive back to work to grab his laptop, then we came home. The car place called us that afternoon to tell us it wasn't something they could fix. So we drove to pick it up and took it to the dealership. Wednesday was a normalish day. The kids and I went for a walk and then we played outside. Thursday we drove to Mobile to see my grandmother for Thanksgiving. We stayed outside on her porch to maintain as much social distancing as possible. The kids had a blast, and it was a really good day. My grandmother gets really lonely during normal times so 2020 has been even more difficult for her than normal. Plus she's just been told she doesn't need to drive anymore. That's not settling well with her either. We got home about 9 pm and Little Boy threw an epic fit getting ready for bed. It was so bad he accidentally fell into the potty after he'd just peed and ended up having to get a super late bath. Black Friday was spent piddling around the house. Husband worked outside, and the kids always enjoy following him around as he's getting things done. Saturday was much the same. Now this coming week is supposed to be PACKED with errands and such. I don't know how I'm going to get any of it done though with no car since mine is still in the shop.

Goodreads description--At thirty years of age, Susan Jennings has long been considered a spinster. Exceptionally intelligent, she has little tolerance for London and the dreaded Season—if that’s how one is expected to find love, it’s not for her. But when an invitation arrives that cannot be ignored, Susan leaves her comfortable life in the country and enters the fashion and frivolity she most despises. She quickly discovers, however, that there is more to loathe in London—and his name is George Kendall.

George, Duke of Aylesham, has learned to keep his distance from cloying females chasing the title of duchess. Susan Jennings, however, proves an entirely different challenge—a woman who has pushed him to the limit of his patience with their every encounter. But their simmering hostility is disrupted by a thoughtless slip-up: to avoid a marriage of political strategy, George claims he is already betrothed. And when pressed for the name of the lucky woman, only one name comes to mind: Susan’s. Their forced betrothal proves advantageous, but when their verbal sparring must change in order to be convincing, the line between fact and fiction becomes blurred by something neither expected: love.

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!
