Sunday Post & Stacking the Shelves - 08/16/20

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.

Kiddos started back school Monday. It's such a hard decision to make as a parent. Little Boy has been having some separation anxiety, but he seems to be fine once he gets to school. I've been doing a lot of chores that I don't get done regularly, purging some of the cabinets in the bathroom and such like that. I have gotten some reading done. I finished Midnight Sun, but my review won't go up until October. But mostly I've been spending any extra time working on a personal project. My mom came to hang out with us on Thursday. That's always nice. I'm so thankful she's now retired, and we're able to spend more time together. Little Girl has been asking for sushi for some reason. She's never had it before, so we attempted to go to a Japanese food restuarant but the wait was too long. So we opted for a different place to eat. She told me after she was glad the other place was busy because the food she had was so good! Both kids were a bit overtired on Saturday and their behavior reflected it.

Goodreads description--Zivon Marin was one of Russia's top cryptographers, until the October Revolution tore apart his world. Forced to flee after speaking out against Lenin and separated from his brother along the way, he arrives in England driven by a growing anger and determined to offer his services to the Brits.

Lily Blackwell sees the world best through the lens of a camera--and possesses unsurpassed skill when it comes to retouching and recreating photographs. With her father's connections in propaganda, she's recruited to the intelligence division, even though her mother would disapprove.

After Captain Blackwell invites Zivon to dinner one evening, a friendship blooms between him and Lily. He sees patterns in what she deems chaos; she sees beauty in a world he thought destroyed. But both have secrets they're unwilling to share. When her photographs reveal that someone has been following Zivon, his loyalties are called into question--and his enemies are discovered to be far closer than he'd feared.

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!
