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 much about this week. I guess we had mostly normal days until Wednesday night. Little Girl started running a fever for no apparent reason. She had a headache when her temp was up but no other symptoms besides that. We kept her home from school on Thursday and she was fever and other symptom-free. So we sent her to school on Friday. Friday afternoon what do you think happened? That's right! She started running a fever again. We did have an extra at-home COVID test and that was negative. So who knows what was up with that randomness. Baby Boy is officially crawling now. He's just over 7 months old. He's also started sitting from a laying position and can pull up from sitting to stand. He's my last baby, and where I wanted to savor each step of his babyhood, he's blowing through all of these milestones way too fast for me.

Goodreads description--When Mr. Edmund Winterton of Woodside dies, his daughters find themselves penniless and homeless. What can they do? Unless they wish to live on charity, they will have to find genteel employment for themselves.Annabelle becomes governess to the daughters of the recently bereaved Earl of Brackenwood. She has no idea how to teach, but her pupils can learn all they need from books, so how difficult can it be? She’ll need all her ingenuity to cope with the rebelliousness of her charges and the unwanted attentions of their father. But when her past returns to haunt her, she has to make a difficult decision.
Allan is slowly getting used to life as a widower, but his mother is determined that he must marry again and produce an heir. He is determined that he won’t, although the new governess is just the sort of woman he could fall in love with. But when a face from long ago reappears and stirs up suspicion, he has to consider the possibility that his wife’s death was not natural. What is worse, he himself is the obvious suspect. If he can’t prove his innocence, he may lose everything - his home, his new love, and even his life.
A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom.
