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 past week and this coming week are all focused on house cleaning to prepare for Big Girl's birthday party this coming weekend. Of course, she didn't go to pitching practice Monday with her broken toe. Although her coach says there are plenty of drills she can do with one leg. Went spent the day with my parents on Tuesday. Big Boy went with my dad get get some supplies for a project they are working on together. I did my grocery pickup. Big Boy did go to martial arts Tuesday night. Wednesday, Little Boy told me he had a sore throat. So I went on radar looking out for other sickness symptoms. Big Boy had batting practice. Thursday, we went to the park with some friends from our co-op. The weather was wonderful. It was cloudy and breezy. Not hot but not cold. Big Boy went to martial arts again. Big Girl has been working with her grandmother on baking her birthday cake for the party. Friday was Husband's birthday. We did a little presents first thing in the morning. He bought his own present a week or so ago so this was just a little something small for him to open on his birthday. Little Boy was coughing, but I sent him off to school. It's just hard to know if it's nothing or going to turn into something bigger when it first starts. Friday night, we had a family celebration on my side to cover all of October birthdays (we have 5 on that side of the family this month...not including an Uncle that doesn't live nearby). Saturday was focused on house cleaning. I have a two week schedule that helps me feel confident that I'm hitting all of the spaces without missing anyhting.

My annual "All Things Halloween" event is going on. This is my month-long event where I feature reviews from Halloween-y genres (fantasy, paranormal, supernatural, sci-fi, horror, mystery, thriller, and suspense). Over the last few years I've had mostly fantasy books as I just haven't been in the mood for much horror, but still...these are books that can get you in the mood for Halloween.

Goodreads description--Mare Barrow's blood is red—the color of common folk—but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control. The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince—the friend—who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: she is not the only one of her kind.Pursued by Maven, now a vindictive king, Mare sets out to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to join in the struggle against her oppressors. But Mare finds herself on a deadly path, at risk of becoming exactly the kind of monster she is trying to defeat. Will she shatter under the weight of the lives that are the cost of rebellion? Or have treachery and betrayal hardened her forever?
