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.
Monday, Big Girl ended up having pitching practice. It was out of her normal time, and we won't do that regularly. But she was able to have a couple of friends in the class so that was fun for her. Tuesday, we spent the day with my parents. The big kids had martial arts. And then I was able to meet up with a lot of the moms from our co-op for dinner. That was fun. Wednesday we went for a walk and went swimming. Wednesday was Holly's birthday. She hasn't been as active on her blog, but she's still around. Thursday my dad had hip replacement surgery. I didn't want to get involved with much because I planned to meet them when they got home to help him get in the house. I did have a few errands to run. And the big kids had martial arts again. Friday was our puppy's first birthday. We gave him a couple of new toys. Big Girl has had it in her heart to take him to Starbucks to get him a pup cup. So we did that. He also got a treat in the form of some chicken and beef liver gravy to go on top of his kibble for a special birthday treat.

Goodreads description--The Academy always comes first . . . which makes marriage to its most formidable adversary an exceedingly inconvenient arrangement.Well removed from London’s more curious eyes, the Benevolent Academy for the Betterment of Young Ladies strives toward one clandestine to distract, disrupt, and discredit men in power who would seek to harm the advancement of women—by appropriate means, of course.
When intrepid newspaper editor Miles Quincy starts to question the school’s intentions, the Academy appoints Penelope “Nell” Trewlove, one of their brightest graduates, to put this nuisance to rest. An easy enough mission, she supposes. Or it would be, if Miles wasn’t so fascinating—too fascinating to resist—and if Nell’s visit to London didn’t perfectly coincide with the murder of one of Miles’s reporters.
When the inexorable claws of fate trap Nell and Miles in a compromising situation, they agree to an arrangement that will save their reputations while enabling them to investigate the story that led to a man’s death, as well as the surprising chemistry between them . . .

Goodreads description--The second book in the international bestselling Maxton Hall series—now an Amazon Prime streaming series—in English for the first time.After all the hurt between them, will they be able to find their way back to each other?
Ruby Bell thought that she and James Beaufort had something special. She’s never had such strong feelings for someone. And after his betrayal, she’s also never felt this much hurt. Ruby just wants her old life back before she knew anyone at Maxton Hall, before she knew James. She used to be able to rely on her studies to keep her focused, but school is no longer a refuge—not when she sees James everywhere. But she has to stay on track, especially with university looming over them and the uncertainty of what the future holds.
Despite everything, Ruby wants to support James as he struggles with his father’s expectations of him taking over the family business. But she makes one thing very clear: she is not willing to forgive him or give him a second chance. As love and hate compete for Ruby's heart, James will try everything he can to win her back.
