Sunday Post - 03/24/24

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 missed last Sunday Post because Saturday I spent the day helping my parents move, and that's when I normally prep my Sunday Post. I won't review the week two weeks ago as I usually would when I miss a Sunday Post this time. Honeslty, I just don't have the energy at the moment. I did take a blog break that week so there's not much blog wise to recap anyway. This past week Big Boy ended up running fever all day Monday. I didn't think much of it until his temperature got up to 104.4. I did call the afterhours number for our pediatrician's office. I absolutely love the doctor I spoke to and he told me exactly what he thought it was and the pattern he expected the virus to follow (which it did exactly as he said). We did go to the doctor to be checked out on Tuesday. No surprises there. Wednesday, he was perfectly normal. Thursday, we spent the day at my parent's new house. It's so nice having them much closer to us and their house is really nice too. Friday was our last day of school before spring break. Unfortunately, Baby Boy ended up running fever. I assume he got big brother's sickness...considering he drank after him twice while was sick before I could stop him, I wasn't surprised at all. Saturday, my big kids left with my parents to go to Gatlinburg, TN. My parents love being able to take them, and they love going. It's a special trip between them all. I'm so thankful for my parents having such a close relationship with my kids.

Goodreads description--Still reeling from a recent tragedy, Erin Connolly knows she needs to start living, but has no idea how. When she accidentally donates her favorite book—a heavily annotated copy of To Kill a Mockingbird containing a memento she can’t be without—to a local Little Free Library, she’s devastated. But then the book turns up a week later, back in the library with fresh notes in the margins, along with an invitation in a copy of Great Expectations to meet her newfound pen pal.

A life-changing conversation, written only in the margins of beloved classic books, begins between Erin and her Mystery Man. Following each other through the pages of their favorite novels as the book exchange continues, they both begin to open up, falling into a friendship…and maybe something more.

But Erin and her pen pal have a shared history that neither of them has guessed. Faced with painful reminders of the past—and the one person she swore never to forgive—Erin finds herself at a crossroads. One that could change her life forever.

A book-lovers dream! References to the following classics can be found in The Book Swap.
