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 was Labor Day for the US, so we didn't have any school. And Husband was off work. We piddled around and didn't do much of anything special. That also meant our afternoon activities were cancelled for that day. Tuesdays we normally go to my parent's house, but they had a funeral in Georgia to go to. So we stayed home. We finised school in the morning. We did grocery pickup. And then the kids went swimming in the afternoon. We've had unseasonably cooler weather. It's still in the high 80s, but that is really mild for this time of year here. The Big Kids had martial arts that night. Wednesday was our first full school day of the week. Husband and I have been working on burning through a giant pile of limbs and tree pieces from where we had several trees cut down. I took Big Boy to his batting practice. Thursday, we did school in the morning, and then we met friends at the park for a playdate. We had a picnic lunch there. The Big Kids also had martial arts that night. Friday was a more challenging school day, but we finished the day. That's a full 4 weeks down into the school year. Husband was off work on Friday to use some PTO. Saturday, Grammy, Big Girl, and I went to a baby shower. That was some fun girl time.

Goodreads description--This is a world divided by blood—red or silver.The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change.
That is until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the balance of power.
Fearful of Mare's potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep would mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime.
But this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare has entered a dangerous dance—Reds against Silvers, prince against prince, and Mare against her own heart.
