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 Little Girl's last day of school. Technically the school was supposed to be in for a half day on Tuesday, but come on, who is sending their kid to school for a half day on Tuesday. She actually wanted to go, but I kept her home. We did have to run up to the school to get her report card. Wednesday, we went to Walmart to get a birthday present for a party this weekend. And I grabbed groceries. Thursday and Friday I spent as much time as possible cleaning. Friday evening we finally took my mom out to eat for Mother's Day. She'd been sick so it kept getting put off. Husband's friend from Taiwan came to visit for the weekend. Saturday, my niece and her family came over to swim. Honestly, the water was only 74 degrees and too cold for me. Baby Boy jumped in and immediately started screaming. He ended up sitting on the side of the pool with me while the big kids went swimming. Saturday afternoon I took Little Girl to a birthday party. She hurt her finger while we were there, and I'm debating taking her to urgent care to get it x-rayed.

Goodreads description--Behind every great hero is an Aristene.Aristene are mythical female warriors, part of a legendary order. Though heroes might be immortalized in stories, it’s the Aristene who guide them to victory. They are the Heromakers.
Ever since she was an orphan taken in by the order, Reed has wanted to be an Aristene. Now, as an initiate, just one challenge stands in her way: she must shepherd her first hero to glory on the battlefield. Succeed, and Reed will take her place beside her sisters. Fail, and she’ll be cast from the only home she’s ever known.
Nothing is going to stop Reed--until she meets her hero. Hestion is fiery and infuriating, but what begins as an alliance becomes more, and as secrets of the order come to light Reed begins to understand what becoming an Aristene may truly cost. Battle looming, she must choose: the order and the life she had planned, or Hestion, and the one she never expected.
