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.
The week before Easter we had a ton of out of the normal things. Monday, Little Girl had practice and Little Boy had a game. Tuesday, Little Girl had class pictures--which I totally forgot about. Wednesday, Little Boy had cap and gown pictures for pre-school graduation. And then he also had an egg hunt at school. Thursday, Little Girl had a field trip to a local working farm. And then Little Boy had a game that night. No school on Friday, but I took the kids to my parents' house to hangout for a while. Saturday afternoon we had a church fellowship and egg hunt. Then Saturday evening we went to dinner at Grammy's and dyed eggs. Sunday, of course, we went to church and then to lunch at Grammy's and had another egg hunt. Monday after that, both kids had ball games. Tuesday, the kids had dentist appointments. Thursday, my parents came over to hang out with us for a little while. And then I had to take Little Girl back to the dentist to have a tiny cavity filled. Friday, Little Boy stayed late after school to do his end of year testing. He passed everything with flying colors. His only marks were about not always obeying the teacher. I'm proud of him, yet I'd rather him be obedient and well behaved always. Saturday, Little Girl had a tournament. We were at the ball field from 8 am until about 4 pm.

Goodreads description--A reckless Victorian heiress sets her sights on a dashing ex-naval lieutenant, determined to win his heart as the two of them embark on a quest to solve a decades-old mystery in the long-awaited sequel to USA Today bestselling author Mimi Matthews’s critically acclaimed novels The Work of Art and Gentleman Jim.Lieutenant Charles Heywood has had his fill of adventure. Battle-weary and disillusioned, he returns to England, resolved to settle down to a quiet, uneventful life on an estate of his own. But arranging to purchase the property he desires is more difficult than Charles ever imagined. The place is mired in secrets, some of which may prove deadly. If he’s going to unravel them, he’ll need the assistance of someone as daring as he is.
At only twenty, Lady Katherine Beresford has already earned a scandalous reputation. As skilled with pistols as she is on horseback, she’s never met an obstacle she can’t surmount—or a man she can’t win. That is, until she encounters the infuriatingly somber Lieutenant Heywood. But Kate refuses to be deterred by the raven-haired soldier’s strong, silent facade. After all, faint heart never won handsome gentleman.
From the wilds of rural Somersetshire to the glittering ballrooms of early-Victorian London, Charles and Kate embark on a cross-country quest to solve a decades’ old mystery. Will the greatest danger be to their hearts—or to their lives?
