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.
I have enough trouble remember what I did the previous week, so whenever I'm behind on Sunday Posts and need to recap the past two weeks I am at a loss. Monday the 2nd, Big Girl had pitching practice. Husband took her because it was a late practice so she could pitch with a friend of hers. Tuesday the 3rd, our dog had a morning vet appointment. Just a wellness checkup for him. All was well. Wednesday the 4th was a normal day. Thursday teh 5th was a whirlwind. I had an early morning wellness checkup at my doctor. I grabbed some Chickfila on the way home from that. Then I got home with ten minutes to spare before needing to turn around and leave to drop the boys with my mom so she could take Big Boy to his nature class. And I had to take Big Girl to band. Then we went to my parent's house to hang out after. We started back martial arts that night. Friday teh 6th was a normal day. Saturday the 7th I mopped most of the house and did some other house cleaning. I did run by Hobby Lobby. To be honest, I wasn't going for holiday decor. I was going to buy yarn for the border on the blanket I'm crocheting my great niece who is only two weeks old. Of course, I did pick up a few other things while I was there. This past Sunday was church, lunch with my parents, and then a nap. Monday of this week Big Girl had pitching lessons at normal time. Tuesday was a rough day. We haven't had nearly as many of these since school started this year compared to the end of last year, but they aren't fun either way. The Big Kids had martial arts that night. Wednesday we took the day off school for Veteran's Day. Thank you to any and all vertans for your service and sacrifices. Thursday, I dropped the boys with my parents and then took Big Girl to band. We hung out at my parents' house after. Big Kids had martial arts again. Friday was a little rough because it was back to school after a couple of days off. But we managed. I have read a good bit over the last two weeks. Audiobooks have been saving me this year. Yesterday, we had our women's devotion with the ladies from church. Then I had to run by the grocery store to get a few things for fellowship meal today.

Goodreads description--A reluctant guardian. A determined spinster. A battle of wits that might just end in love.Former military officer Edward Halstead never imagined his quiet bachelor existence would be upended by the unexpected guardianship of a spirited young lady. When his late comrade’s daughter, Daphne Price, is placed in his care, Edward is faced with a challenge unlike any battlefield he has ever encountered, especially with her fiercely protective aunt, Felicity Price, staying in his home to ensure he doesn’t fail in his duty.
Felicity has dedicated her life to her beloved niece, and she has no intention of leaving Daphne in the hands of a gruff and emotionally distant bachelor. If Edward Halstead believes he can simply house, feed, and marry off her niece without regard for her well-being, he is sorely mistaken. Felicity will remain at Briarwood House as long as necessary to ensure Daphne’s future and to make certain Edward doesn’t ruin it. After all, she doesn't want her niece to end up a spinster...like Felicity.
With Felicity and Edward at odds over Daphne’s upbringing, propriety, and the girl’s future, tension sparks and tempers flare. Yet, beneath the clashes and differences of opinion, an undeniable attraction grows. As Daphne’s entrance into Society looms and Edward’s past resurfaces in unexpected ways, Felicity and Edward must decide if their partnership is merely one of convenience or if love has been the lesson they’ve both been waiting to learn.
Perfect for fans of witty banter, slow-burn romance, and fiercely independent heroines, A Bachelor's Lessons in Love is a Regency romance filled with heart, humor, and unexpected love. Part of the Bachelors of Blackstone's series, the books may be read and enjoyed in any order.

Goodreads description--Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum's windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams.Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil's visions. But when Sybil's fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral's cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she'd rather avoid Rodrick's dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god.
