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 was a normal school day. Monday evening we had baseball and softball closing ceremonies. Big Girl's team was runner up in the league, but that also means last place since there were only two teams in her age bracket. Big Boy's team was 3rd out of 6 teams. And then Little Boy's team was the league champions for his age group. Tuesday, we did some school in the morning and then went to my parent's house for a few hours. We grabbed my grocery pickup on the way home. Tuesday evening the big kids started back with martial arts. We are hoping that since we only took a month off for baseball and softball that we will still be able to belt test this cycle. We are also considering Little Boy starting up. Wednesday was a normal school day. Big Girl was supposed to have pitching practice, and we were going to take my parents out to eat to celebrate Mother's Day, but bad weather came through and we didn't do either. Thursday, the Big Kids had their nature class. Little Boy had earned a date with Mommy for good behavior at school. So we went out to get donuts, and we went to Target. We also ran into Walmart quickly before having to pick up the Big Kids. Thursday evening the big kids went to martial arts too. Friday, we changed course a little. We met some friends at a local playground in the morning. Then did a small amount of school for the day. We only have one school week left on our calendar, and we are all feeling the need for a break. Friday night, Big Boy had his baseball team's party at his coach's house. But Little Boy also had his preschool graduation. I am so thankful that the preschool does graduation because we don't have one for kindergarten since we homeschool. I did get emotional. All three of my kids went through this preschool program. The teachers were great. They made friends and learned a lot. And I can't believe my last baby is old enough for kindergarten this coming fall. Saturday, Little Boy had his team party. So I took him to that. Oh also, Friday was Husband and I's anniversary. 17 years. And today, of course, is Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to all!

Goodreads description--Only the worthy survive the Bonding Trials. She’ll risk her life—and her heart—to be one of them.Meryn Cooper has always hated the Bonded, elite warriors who form mental links with the massive, vicious direwolves they ride. While they live in luxury, Meryn struggles to keep her family out of poverty. When her little sister, Saela, is kidnapped—stolen across the border by the immortal monsters her country has spent centuries fighting—Meryn’s world falls apart.
Desperate to cross the front and save her sister, Meryn enlists in the army and is thrown into the deadly Bonding Trials, where any mistake will cost her life.
Now Meryn must survive four months of training at the castle. She is bound to a feral direwolf who refuses to communicate. The other trainees would love to spill her common blood. And her cold and beautiful instructor, Stark Therion, is eager to punish any weakness.
Everything is a competition, and everyone is out to get her—everyone except the dangerously handsome crown prince, whose attention adds another target to her back. In the castle, every smile hides a knife…and the halls hide dark secrets.
It’s bond or bleed. Duel or die. Failure is ruin.
Dire Bound contains mature content including depictions of graphic violence, and is therefore recommended for readers 17+. For a full list of tropes and TWs, please visit the author's website.
