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 both kids had ball games. Big Girl's team played terrible. They just didn't have it together. Big Boy's team played well. He hit a ball that bounced and hit the fence. The other team still beat them out. Tuesday was the first Tuesday in months that we haven't had somewhere to be. It was nice not to have plans. Wednesday was a mostly normal day. Little had been coughing for over a week, but Wednesday it seemed to be worse. Thursday, we spent the day at my parents. We missed the previous two Thursdays so that was nice to be back there. Little Boy was getting worse it seemed. I kept taking his temperature, but he wasn't running any fever until nap time. He woke during the night and got in our bed. Thursday night the big kids had games again. Big Girl's team didn't do well again. She seems to be in a hitting slump. Big Boy's team won and he played 2nd base for the first time in a game. He did really well considering he's never played there before. He got two outs and almost got a double play. That was a close game, but we won which advanced them to the next round of the tournament. Friday I kept Little Boy home from school. I managed to mostly do normal school with the big kids with him home, although that was challenging. Friday night, Big Boy had another game against a team we've played twice and has always been drama. There was MORE drama of course. Big Boy didn't do as well at 2nd base, but again, he's only played there once before so he doesn't know the position that well. They lost by one point. Saturday, we had a pretty chill day. Husband mowed grass. The big kids went to Grammy's to "help in her flower garden" and I mostly hung with Little Boy.

Goodreads description--For romantasy readers who want to dip their toe into sci-fi, this enemies-to-lovers thriller will enchant you before it breaks you.Today I met my husband for the first time . . . again.
Milo Arris–the young ruler of two planets–is as cruel as he is handsome, and for some reason, he chose me to be his wife. He chose me to be the Columess–the girl he seems to hate more than the invaders who wiped my memories.
But I have bigger problems than Milo’s cold words. Servants in the palace are hiding strange burns on their bodies. A maid is murdered at the ball. Not to mention there’s the looming mystery of why my memories were wiped to begin with.
Danger lurks in the shadows, and with every strange occurrence, I fear someone aboard the Imnicus may be putting both our lives in jeopardy.
Lost Crows & Fallen Stars is a new-adult space romantasy. Please see the author’s website for a full list of content warnings.
