Sunday Post & Stacking the Shelves - 02/16/20

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.

The full moon had my kids acting like lunatics this week. Did anyone else experience any craziness? Sunday night we took my mother-in-law out to dinner. That was nice. Monday through Wednesday were normal days. We did get to walk as it wasn't raining during our normal walking time, but it was way too wet to play outside. Thursday my mom came to spend the day with us. She's retired now so I expect we'll be seeing her a lot more. We also had the HVAC people come to do our routine maintenance. Friday, Little Girl had a Valentine's Day party at school. So cute. I said last week that I'd had a stretch of "blah" books, but when I looked back at what I've been reading this year, I think they've been better than I was feeling last week. And that's actually the problem. It's not that I've been reading "blah" books, but I've been battling a book hangover from a really good book is more the problem. Although there is 100% one blah book in there, and I've DNF'd one this week though so that was a bummer.

Brennan Davis would like nothing more than to stay home and go to school, so she can keep her anxiety in check. When the two accidentally meet the summer before they move away, they’ll push each other to come to terms with what’s holding them back, even as they’re pulled closer to taking the biggest leap of all—falling in love. The Opposite of Falling Apart has more than 2.1 million reads on Wattpad.

    Glad the week had more normalcy for you! Book hangover can be tough! I feel like when that happens you should try to find a book you're really excited to read to help combat the hangover from the last exciting book. I've found that helps for me sometimes. Note: sometimes, lol!


    Nice new read! Totally new to me one but I hope you enjoy it.


    Here's my StS

  2. It's been rainy here about half the time also. I think it's hard when normally I get so many great quality book options to read. Even if they are all really good, it might feel sort of blah. I think this is partly why I read multiple genres.

    I hope you have a great week and read some amazing books!
