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 a rough week with behavior. We have them every now and then. And this whole week was rough. Monday, Big Girl had pitching practice. Tuesday, we spent the day with my parents and then got groceries. The Big Kids had martial arts. Wednesday was the best day we had this week with behavior. Thursday, the boys had haircuts, and the Big Kids had martial arts again. Friday wasn't terrible compared to the rest of the week, but it wasn't quite as good as Wednesday. Friday, I had to pick up donuts for Little Boy's birthday party. Saturday was the big day. Little Boy's 5th birthday party was at a local trampoline park. We had a blast, and I'm so thankful for his friends and family that came to celebrate him. His actual birthday is on Wednesday of this week. I can't believe my youngest baby is 5 already! They say the days are long but the years are fast, and I have completely found that to be true. I've been killing my reading so far this month. I've already finished 8 books, but I do find January to be a good reading month for me usually. Now if I can just get myself to write some reviews I'd be doing even better.

Goodreads description--Ruined by scandal, Georgiana bargains with a duke to regain her place in Society. But their pretend friendship sparks real love, risking reputations, duty, and unexpected happily-ever-afters.Eight months after a stolen kiss ruined her reputation, Miss Georgiana Wood is a recluse, cast out of Society without any hope of ever finding a suitable match. Longing for redemption, she never expects her salvation to arrive in the form of a handsome, temperamental duke.
After a failed bargain left the Duke of Marlow without a promised wife and heir, he must face courtship a final time. He plans to entice his future bride with a priceless family heirloom—one now in the possession of Miss Wood, who agrees to return it if he takes her on three outings in London during the Season to restore her reputation.
As the pair navigate Society’s expectations and whispered gossip, Marlow soon sees a new side to Georgiana—an ally and friend. Her wit and courage, grace and allure far exceed that of the eligible ladies he intended to court, and soon, he’d do almost anything to secure her happiness.
As Marlow wrestles with duty and desire, Georgiana begins to hope that she could be loved not despite her past, but because of who she truly is. When hearts are tested, truth and secrets revealed, will love be enough to risk it all?

Goodreads description--When your favorite player turns out to be your very real boss, the rules are a lot more complicated.Elizabeth Gordon-Bettencourt is rebuilding her life on her own terms, starting with a new internship, a shot at her dream job as a civil engineer, and a whole lot of distance from her family’s drama. With her life full of change, the one constant is @theanswerisno, a charming gamer who seems to just . . . get her. Even if he has no interest in meeting her in real life.
Elizabeth would feel a lot more confident about her job if her new boss wasn’t so hard to read. Lincoln Carden is quiet, demanding, and adamant about avoiding small talk—especially in the office. What she doesn’t know is that online, he’s someone else entirely: quick, confident, and a little bit flirty. And his favorite player to team up with is @pancakesareelite, the one person who never makes him feel like he has to try so hard. As their two worlds start to collide, Elizabeth and Lincoln start to wonder: with their careers on the line and their online friendship at risk, is a romance IRL worth it?
