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.
Oh man! This week was a bust! Monday we had off school for MLK day. Husband was off work so we spent most of the day watching the inaguration. And I spent most of the day reading. I just finished the book I was reading before Tuesday's big release. Husband took the big kids' to martial arts Monday night, and I ran Little Boy to pick up a few last minute items for Tuesday. However, Tuesday was Little Boy's 4th birthday. We got up and had donuts for breakfast (his request instead of a cake for his birthday). Then he opened presents. After a few hours we went to my parent's house to hang for a couple of hours. We grabbed Jack's chicken for dinner for his birthday dinner (again, his request). It did snow here on Tuesday. Unfortunately, we were right above the line where the snow really began so we had no accumulation. Personally, I don't care much for the snow, but my two boys haven't really seen much snow and so they were rooting for it. My sister in Gulf Shores got the snow of a lifetime. Wednesday, the public schools were still out so we didn't have any school either. Co-op was also closed on Thursday, but I'd had enough and we at least did our normal math and language arts here at home. You'd think with all the weather and things being shut down that I would have gotten more reading done, but I did not. We also went to a surprise birthday party for my husband's friend's mom Thursday afternoon. And then the big kids went to martial arts again. We're approaching another belt test this week. Friday was our first normal school day of the week, and thankfully it went well. Saturday, we went to my parent's house to celebrate Janaury birthdays with my side of the family. I'm close to finishing Onyx Storm. I'm hoping to finish it today.

Goodreads description--THE STORM IS COMING . . .Get ready to fly or die in the breathtaking follow-up to Fourth Wing and Iron Flame from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Yarros.
After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons.
No more time for uncertainty.
Because the battle has truly begun; and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.
Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre.
The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves - her dragons, her family, her home, and him.
Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.
They need an army.
They need power.
They need magic.
And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth.
But a storm is coming... and not everyone can survive its wrath.
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!
