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.
This was our first full week of school. I don't even remember most of it. Monday the big kids had martial arts practice. Tuesday the boys had haircuts. Then we spent a few hours with my parents and got groceries on the way home. Wedensday was a normal school day. Thursday, we started our co-op for the spring semester. That went well. There was a pizza party after classes. The big kids also had martial arts Thursday night. Friday was a rough behavior day. And then Saturday, I read a lot and vacuumed/mopped the house. I've managed to workout three times a week for the last two weeks. It's only a start, and I have a long way to go on health goals. But I'm proud of myself for doing that consistently so far. I've also gotten sucked into a series that I'm devouring yet don't know if I can recommend to anyone at the same time. It's such a weird place to be at. I've found myself staying up to midnight multiple nights this week for this series though.

Goodreads description--Sometimes even a girl who likes to rely only on herself needs to be brave enough to ask for help.When a superstorm hits Addy’s remote mountain town, knocking out their bridge and cutting them off, she worries that she won’t be able to get to the Survival Camp she’s been looking forward to (the irony!) It’s the camp where her parents met, and she’s eager to hone her skills and honor their legacy. But now there’s no power, and it’s also like a light has been switched off in her mom, who’s triggered by the raging river and memories of Addy’s dad dying in a similar storm. Addy and her mom have always prided themselves on their self-reliance, so now they feel especially stranded since they’ve never bothered to befriend any neighbors. On the hill where she goes to get cell service, she keeps running into her classmate Caleb. He’s frantic about a missing neighbor, and she’s amazed at how he connects with folks to get help. Then he offers to try to get her to camp—but can she trust him? She’s always thought of him as an enemy. The storm has brought so many questions about her beliefs swirling to the surface, and maybe it’s time to take some leaps of faith. The remarkable string of events that follows includes the greatest survival test Addy has ever faced and the realization that she’s not in this adventure of life alone.
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!
