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 the first day I got in the pool with the kids. Big Girl had pitching practice. Tuesday I went to my parent's house to spend the day, but I ended up dropping the kids and taking my car to get a tire patched that was leaking. Wednesday, we were supposed to have routine maintenance on our power lines, but they ended up rescheduling that for Thursday. Husband had taken the day off work because there was no point to him trying to work with no power, but then he went to the dentist in the afternoon. The kids and I walked for the first time this summer. Well I walked and they rode bikes. Thursday, I took the kids to return library books. We checked out some new ones. And then we went by Hobby Lobby. I wanted to look at the 4th of July decorations, and ended up buying a door hanger for my front door. I also got some birthday wrapping paper. Their wrapping paper is so much better than Walmart's. The boys also bought a toy each with their own spending money. We picked up fast food on the way home because our power was still out, but of course, as I was in the drive thru line, Husband texted me that the power was back on. Friday, we went for a walk again. And I vacuumed the pool while my kids went swimming. There was a lot of bigger leaves and debris from the storm that came through Monday. After lunch they asked if a friend could swim, and so I sat at the pool to read while they swam. Saturday, we had our quarter 2 women's devotion with the ladies from church. I got home and got a whim to work on cleaning out the garage. Mostly, I just moved things to sweep around them while listening to an audiobook.

Goodreads description--Some bargains are sealed with blood...Others with fire...The deadliest are sealed with a kiss...Saige Grayson has always believed stories could heal—even when her own body refuses to. As the most promising bookbinder in the capital, she’s learned to work through chronic pain and crushing debt, restoring other people’s treasures while trying not to fall apart herself. But when the man she owes decides her rare talent is worth more than her payments, Saige is traded to the Azkari—an immortal race forged by the gods for war—and imprisoned in their ancient stronghold.
Her only chance of survival lies with Archer, a fallen Azkari general imprisoned beside her —cursed, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. He offers her a way out, and in return, Saige must help him retrieve and restore an ancient book. But the book is made of living magic, powerful enough to stop a great evil—or unleash it. And as Saige works with Archer, the tome begins to awaken something dark and dangerous—both in the realm and within her.
As their enemies close in and buried memories resurface, Saige and Archer must decide what they’re willing to their freedom, their fragile trust…or the spark that could ignite the world.
