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.
You guys, go over to Holly's site and wish her a happy birthday. She's going through one long reading drought. Tell her you miss her and bug her to get to reading already. We hadn't been planning to, but Monday we ended up going to Grammy's house to swim with Husband's sister, her husband, and their grandson. The big kids hung out over there until after dinner. Tuesday we went back over to Grammy's and the kids went swimming. We shot fireworks in honor of Pops that night. Wednesday, I had to run some errands, and the big kids went back to Grammy's again. Baby Boy threw up in the car during my errands so I kept him home with me. I think it was just car sickness. Little Girl gets carsick too. Thursday I took the kids to my parent's house to spend a few days with them. We'll get them today. I had an annual check up. Husband and I had a date night and actually took a day trip to the closest IKEA near us which is in Atlanta. Saturday I had lunch with a friend of mine, and then ran some more errands.

Goodreads description--For once, he has met a lady less inclined to marry than he is. How unfortunate that she is the only bride he will consider.George Clavering is much too young to think about getting married. Yes, his older brother—and even his younger sister—have managed to tie the knot, but he has plenty more years of play and sporting events ahead of him before he need consider such a thing. Even matchmaking becomes a sport when gentlemen bet on the Season’s successes or failures in the club. He will not give them an opportunity to bet on him. Furthermore, why settle down when there are young women like Lady Alice who liven the sport of matchmaking with friendly wagers?
Lady Alice St. Clair is the fifth daughter of the Duke of Carr, and as she is independently wealthy and may do as she pleases, she has no reason to wed. She certainly has no intention of doing so. If the marriage mart offers nothing more than the unattractive boors who have presented themselves at her door for the past five seasons, it should hardly surprise her parents she cannot be persuaded to the altar. True, George Clavering has a full head of dark hair and a smile that is as mischievous as it is attractive, but no lady of character would change her mind for one above-average specimen of the male race.
For both, what began as a friendly bet between two bored guests at a ball turned into an earnest desire to help their protégés find happiness. And if some deeper feelings should stir in George to win Alice’s heart, then he has no choice but to dampen them. After all, Lady Alice has sworn she will not marry, and George has applauded her decision. For him to try to weaken her resolve now would be…unsportsmanlike.
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!
