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 the kids had dentist appointments. All had a good report. Big Boy had a baseball game Monday night. They lost, but it was a good game. We were a little slow batting, but just when the kids started hitting better we ran out of time. Tuesday, we went with some friends to the u-pick strawberry farm nearby. We got two buckets of strawberries. We ate one bucket there. They have a nice play area, and the kids had a blast. We'll definitely go back another time. After that, we grabbed Chick-fil-a and picked up groceries. Wednesday was a normal school day for us. Thursday, we went to the zoo with another friend of ours. We had a great time there. We brought Big Girl's friend home with us while her mom ran some errands. Then Big Girl went over to her friend's house before their softball game. Both big kids had games Thursday night. I went with Big Boy and his team pulled out a win on a very close game. There was a little drama from the other team. I just don't understand 6U baseball being that serious. Anyway, Big Girl's team won their game too. Friday, we had a normal school day also. Saturday morning, Big Boy's team had practice. We went for a short walk and just hung around the house the rest of the day. I did finish a book this week and also DNF'd one. I won't be reviewing the DNF on my blog, but I did give a mini-DNF-review on Goodreads.

Goodreads description--Brie finds herself caught between two princes and two destinies while the future of the fae realm hangs in the balance.After Abriella's sister was sold to the fae, she thought life couldn't get any worse. But when she suddenly finds herself caught in a web of lies of her own making - loving two princes and trusting neither - things are not quite as clear as she once thought.
As civil war wages in the Court of Darkness, Brie finds herself unable to choose a side. How can she know where she stands when she doesn't even know herself anymore? In this darkly romantic thrill ride, the more Faerie is torn apart from the inside, the clearer it becomes that prophecies don't lie and Brie has a role to play in the fate of this magical realm - whether she likes it or not.

Goodreads description--In this groundbreaking analysis of personality type, bestselling author of Better Than Before and The Happiness Project, Gretchen Rubin reveals the one simple question that will transform what you do at home, at work, and in life.During her multibook investigation into understanding human nature, Gretchen Rubin realized that by asking the seemingly dry question "How do I respond to expectations?" we gain explosive self-knowledge. She discovered that based on their answer, people fit into Four Tendencies: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels. Our Tendency shapes every aspect of our behavior, so using this framework allows us to make better decisions, meet deadlines, suffer less stress, and engage more effectively.
More than 600,000 people have taken her online quiz, and managers, doctors, teachers, spouses, and parents already use the framework to help people make significant, lasting change.
The Four Tendencies hold practical answers if you've ever thought...
· People can rely on me, but I can't rely on myself.
· How can I help someone to follow good advice?
· People say I ask too many questions.
· How do I work with someone who refuses to do what I ask or who keeps telling me what to do?With sharp insight, compelling research, and hilarious examples, The Four Tendencies will help you get happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative. It's far easier to succeed when you know what works for you.
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!
