Sunday Post - 11/17/24

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.

This was an odd week. Monday we didn't have school for Veteran's Day. I took the kids to the park for a playdate with one of Big Girl's friends we haven't seen in a while. Then we went to Burger King because it's one of the only places around here with a playplace. Tuesday, we had grocery pickup. Normally we would spend the day with my parents, but they were on vacation. Wednesday was our first normal school day of the week. Our 2nd quarter seems to be a lot of disruptions, but thankfully, I planned for most of them. Thursday our co-op didn't have classes. Husband took the day off, and we went to the Alabama Safari Park with some gift certificates that Holly gave the kids last Christmas and I'm just now getting around to using. We had a good time. Friday, Husband's work computer crashed so he unexpectedly had the day off. He's been focused on some house projects that have been put off, and I'm so happy to have these done. Saturday, we went for a walk. The kids went to Grammy's a little earlier than normal so I got a good bit of cleaning done. I'm in a fall cleaning mood to clean all the things that don't get cleaned more regularly. I've got one more week before Husband's friend comes to visit so I'm trying to get everything done before then. I have gotten a good bit of reading done this week, too.

Goodreads description--LET’S CALL A TRUCE is a sexy contemporary romance about second chances at life and love, bursting with humor and a touch of angst from debut author, Amy Buchanan.

After Juliana Ryan's husband dies unexpectedly, leaving her with two grieving kids and a stunted career from years as a stay-at-home mom, she has no choice but to make it work all on her own. But her confidence crashes around her when she overhears her condescending but infuriatingly attractive new colleague, Ben Thomas, talking about how her kids and inexperience are a liability the company can’t afford. This sets off a feud between the two, as Juliana vows to prove him wrong.

Two years later, their feud rages on, but it may be charged with something they aren't willing to admit. When they are forced onto a career-making project together, Juliana has no choice but to call a truce. As their lives become more intertwined in and out of the office, Juliana finds it hard to ignore Ben’s perpetual smile and charming determination. What started as a truce grows into more, as boardroom-clearing arguments turn to desk-clearing kisses. Could the man she deemed her nemesis understand her life–her stress and responsibilities–better than anyone?

But just when Juliana decides to open her heart again, Ben’s past threatens their newfound bliss, and she has to figure out whether this second chance at love is worth it after all.

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!
