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.
I forgot to prep and post a Sunday Post for last week, so this is covering two weeks. The kids got to dress in their Halloween costumes the Friday before Halloween. Little Girl was a fairy, rainbow skeleton. Little Boy was a ninja. Mostly the week focused on Little Boy's birthday on Saturday. Saturday morning, he and I had a 1 on 1 date. We're trying to do those monthly. So I took him to Launch (a local trampoline park). Then we went to McDonald's for Happy Meals and milkshakes. I tried to talk him into something nicer, but he was insistent. And then we walked through the Target toy section to look at nerf guns which he is now obsessed with. Daddy took the big kids to the park but it was too cold for them to play much, and we ordered takeout for dinner (he wanted shrimp and I'm not a fan of cooking that). Sunday was normal church and then we did trick or treating that night. We actually went to fewer houses and streets than we normally do and got more candy. They really racked up. It's been cold this week, but I'm enjoying the temps. Not much to report. I had my annual physical on Thursday and my lab results show all of my numbers to be in the normal range. I thank God for this. Things are trucking on. And although I never decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, I have started listening to Christmas music. Also, today is my nephew's birthday. He doesn't read my blog, but a happy 19th birthday to him anyway.

My annual "All Things Halloween" event is starting. This is my month-long event where I feature reviews from Halloween-y genres (fantasy, paranormal, supernatural, sci-fi, horror, mystery, thriller, and suspense). Over the last few years I've had mostly fantasy books as I just haven't been in the mood for much horror, but still...these are books that can get you in the mood for Halloween.

Goodreads description--A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom.Poor and widowed, Lucy finds a post as chaperon to two young ladies while their mother is awaiting the birth of her child. It sounds like easy work, well suited to her sociable nature, but the sisters squabble over their suitors, and there are tensions below the surface of the seemingly happy family. Then there is the charming Mr Audley, who is more interested in flirting with Lucy than in discovering where his sisters have disappeared to. And as for Lucy’s uncle, who lives nearby, she’s quite convinced he is hiding something. Curiosity is Lucy’s abiding sin, and one day it will get her into trouble.
Mr Leo Audley is rich, handsome and very successful with the ladies - until he meets widow Lucy Price, who isn’t the least bit susceptible to his flirtatious charm. His pride is piqued - surely he can find a way to seduce her? But Lucy challenges everything about him, and he finds himself unexpectedly falling for her. He’s never been in love before, but can he convince her that he’s more than a heartless rake? And when she draws him into her investigations of the mysteries surrounding his family and hers, they find themselves in deeper trouble than they could have imagined, and facing the possibility that someone in the family is a murderer.
Book 2 of the 5-book Sisters of Woodside Mysteries series, each a complete story with a HEA, but read all of them to find out all the secrets of the Winterton family!

Goodreads description--Nisha Sharma’s hilarious new romantic comedy inspired by Taming of the Shrew features a love-phobic TV doctor who must convince a love-obsessed homebody they are destined to be together.Kareena Mann dreams of having a love story like her parents, but she prefers restoring her classic car to swiping right on dating apps. When her father announces he’s selling her mother’s home, Kareena makes a deal with him: he’ll gift her the house if she can get engaged in four months. Her search for her soulmate becomes impossible when her argument with Dr. Prem Verma, host of The Dr. Dil Show, goes viral. Now the only man in her life is the one she doesn’t want.
Dr. Prem Verma is dedicated to building a local community health center, but he needs to get donors with deep pockets. The Dr. Dil Show was doing just that, until his argument with Kareena went viral, and he’s left short changed. That’s when Kareena’s meddling aunties presented him with a solution: convince Kareena he’s her soulmate and they’ll fund his clinic.
Even though they have conflicting views on love-matches and arranged-matches, the more time Prem spends with Kareena, the more he begins to believe she’s the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. But for Prem and Kareena to find their happily ever after, they must admit that hate has turned into fate.
