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.
Husband got a jury duty summons for Monday. He ended up getting selected for a criminal SA case of a minor that was going to include pictures, video, and testimony from the minor. Thankfully on Tuesday, the defendant changed his plea the guilty once he realized that he could get life if convicted by a jury. So they didn't have to try the case. I know someone has to be the one to convict criminals in cases like this, but I'm so thankful that he didn't have to have those images, videos, and testimony in his head. Monday, Big Girl had pitching lessons. We got on and week and off a week it seems with mean girls. It's the same kids every week, but one of them just seems to struggle with her heart. The big kids went to martial arts after pitching practice. Big Girl got a little behind when her toe was broken and belt testing is coming up, so she wants to make sure she doesn't get passed by her brother. Tuesday, we didn't get to go to my parent's house because my mom was going to be gone. Tuesday night the big kids went to martial arts again. Wednesday was a normal day. Thursday, Scout had a grooming appointment. After dropping him off, the kids and I went to Hobby Lobby. We had to get ornaments for our upcoming family reunion in a couple of weeks where we play Dirty Santa. Thursday night, they had martial arts again. Friday was a normal day. Saturday, I spent all day cleaning and taking down our fall decorations. Big Girl asked me to sell a horse barn playset that she didn't play with anymore. So we had to meet up with the buyer for that (someone I know bought it).

Goodreads description--Duty. Blood. Honour. Power.Saeris Fane doesn't want power. The very last thing she needs is her name whispered on an entire court's lips, but now that she's been crowned queen of the Blood Court, she's discovering that a queen's life is not her own. A heavy weight rests upon her shoulders.
Her ward - and her brother - need her back in her homeland . . . but the changes that have strengthened Saeris have also made her weak. Born under blazing suns, Saeris will surely die if she makes her way home through the Quicksilver. Which means that, once again, she must send someone else in her stead . . .
'Keep your mouth shut. Stick to the shadows. And for the love of all seven Gods, do NOT crack any jokes.'
Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate has defeated armies and survived all manner of horrors, but traveling back to Zilvaren with Carrion Swift might just be the death of him. The male just will not shut up. Hidden dangers await them down the narrow alleyways of the Silver City. Unfolding secrets pose impossible threats. Fisher must wrangle the smuggler and accomplish his goals quickly if he wants to see his mate again.
A darkness falls across Yvelia. The realm and their friends are in danger. Together, Saeris and Fisher will pass through fire and brimstone to save them.
