The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer It’s a chance to share news, a post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received.
Hope you’ve had a good week and Happy August!
Back to work after a week off is never fun but I also had to sort out all the new things for our new employer so it wasn’t an easy week!
We had some hot days for England this week and I was melting! Praying it gets cooler or even less muggy, I’d even take that!
Only 1 book read this week but it’s better than none!

Review – The Blackbird Oracle by Deborah Harkness Feature – Friday 56
Friday 56 is a book meme – I can see who originally hosted but the site looks to have been taken over so don’t really want to share the link!
The Rules:
1. Grab a book 2. Turn to Page 56 in a physical book or 56% in your eReader of choice. 3. Find a line or paragraph that jumps out at you and share!

Title: The Roommate
Author: Rosie Danan
House Rules: Do your own dishes. Knock before entering the bathroom. Never look up your roommate online.
The Wheatons are infamous among the east coast elite for their lack of impulse control, except for their daughter Clara. She’s the consummate socialite: over-achieving, well-mannered, predictable. But every Wheaton has their weakness. When Clara’s childhood crush invites her to move cross-country, the offer is too much to resist. Unfortunately, it’s also too good to be true.
After a bait-and-switch, Clara finds herself sharing a lease with a charming stranger. Josh might be a bit too perceptive—not to mention handsome—for comfort, but there’s a good chance he and Clara could have survived sharing a summer sublet if she hadn’t looked him up on the Internet…
Once she learns how Josh has made a name for himself, Clara realizes living with him might make her the Wheaton’s most scandalous story yet. His professional prowess inspires her to take tackling the stigma against female desire into her own hands. They may not agree on much, but Josh and Clara both believe women deserve better sex. What they decide to do about it will change both of their lives, and if they’re lucky, they’ll help everyone else get lucky too.
