Sunday Post - 11/06/22

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 kids got to dress up for school Monday. They both loved that. This was the most calm I've been during trick or treating prep since the very first year we had children. Baby Boy hated his costume. He was an owl. Little Boy was an army man. He wanted all of the weapons that came with the costume. Little Girl was Princess Peach from Super Mario. We had a great time and the kids could have kept going I think. Tuesday, I had some errands to do. I had to pick up consignment stuff that didn't sell, then run by Walmart to pick up toilet paper and paper towels. After that I went by our storage building to get a few things. Wednesday was a normal day. Thursday morning I had my annual physical. So I was up early to get my blood work done. All was normal with my labs and everything. I talked to my doctor about Little Girl's finger that is infected. He suggested we take her to the doctor to have it checked since we've been doctoring it for as long as we have. So I made an appointment for the same afternoon. My mom came over to visit for a while. We went for a walk and had lunch. She put Baby Boy down for a nap for me while I checked Little Girl out of school and took her to the doctor. She's on an antibiotic now. Friday was pretty normal. Although Little Girl came home with homework that said "go outside and explore". Husband and I knew that her teacher just wanted her to get outside and play, but she's so literal that she said explore meant something new so we had to go somewhere new. There's an old Fort (Fort Toulouse) in Wetumpka that we decided to go to on Saturday. They have walking trails and various things that we could explore. Come to find out, Fort Toulouse was having Frontier Days which was awesome. Plus we ran into Holly, my niece and her husband and daughter.

Goodreads description--From the desperation of golden crowns…

Casteel Da’Neer knows all too well that very few are as cunning or vicious as the Blood Queen, but no one, not even him, could’ve prepared for the staggering revelations. The magnitude of what the Blood Queen has done is almost unthinkable.

And born of mortal flesh…

Nothing will stop Poppy from freeing her King and destroying everything the Blood Crown stands for. With the strength of the Primal of Life’s guards behind her, and the support of the wolven, Poppy must convince the Atlantian generals to make war her way—because there can be no retreat this time. Not if she has any hope of building a future where both kingdoms can reside in peace.

A great primal power rises…

Together, Poppy and Casteel must embrace traditions old and new to safeguard those they hold dear—to protect those who cannot defend themselves. But war is only the beginning. Ancient primal powers have already stirred, revealing the horror of what began eons ago. To end what the Blood Queen has begun, Poppy might have to become what she has been prophesied to be—what she fears the most.

As the Harbinger of Death and Destruction.

The unintended consequences of her efforts will ultimately force Rose to reexamine her life in a new light.

As the overseer of his two widowed sisters' financial and domestic affairs, John Milburn carries heavy responsibilities for a single man. But he's faced with his biggest challenge when his headstrong niece falls prey to the attentions of a powerful man who could ruin both her and her family.

When Rose and John join forces to protect his niece, they put everything they hold dear--including their growing attraction--in jeopardy.
