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 don't even remember most of this week. Monday afternoon, Big Girl had pitching practice. Tuesday, we spent the day at my parent's house and did grocery pickup. We thought martial arts belt ceremony was that night, but it got moved because belts ordered hadn't arrived yet. The Big Kids ended up having practice that night. Wednesday, Big Boy had batting practice. Thursday, I thought we were going to have a chill at home day, but I ended up having to run a lot of errands. I dropped Scout off at the groomers. Then took the kids to Spirit Halloween. They wanted to see the animatronics and look for costumes. Then we ran a load of donations to drop off. We picked Scout back up from the groomer, and then we ran by a lady's house to pick up some books I'd bought off Marketplace. Thursday night was belt ceremony. Both kids moved to senior green--one by the skin of his teeth. Friday, Husband was off work. I started feeling sick. And Husband's new album published. This one is an update on the classic nursery rhymes. Saturday, was a super lazy day. I finished a book. But with feeling crummy I didn't do much.

Goodreads description--Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there.
After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.
Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first.
But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills — and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit — he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?
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!
