Stacking the Shelves #180 Sunday Post #177 Sunday Salon #171

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? I did a lot of relaxing last weekend, and walking (almost 6 miles), so I did not get any packing done, oops. But, I did get some done on Tuesday. On Wednesday the contract on our house fell through, so it is back on the market again. We had two showings last night (Friday), and we will see what the weekend brings. While our house was being shown my husband and I went to Barnes and Noble 😁. On my agenda this weekend is some packing, my daughter is coming home to spend the night this afternoon, and will leave first thing tomorrow, more relaxing, hopefully some walking...

A Wedding Date in Hot Springs, Arkansas

Title: A Wedding Date in Hot Springs, Arkansas

Author: Annalisa Daughety

Publisher: Barbour

Genre: Christian Fiction, Contemporary Romance

Source: Own

My Review:

A Wedding Date in Hot Springs, Arkansas is the first book I have read by Annalisa Daughety, but it will not be the last. It is a standalone novel.

Winning the Gentleman

Title: Winning the Gentleman

Series: Hearts on the Heath #2

Author: Kristi Ann Hunter

Narrator: Ann Marie Gideon

Publisher: Bethany House

Genre: Historical, Christian Fiction, Regency, Romance

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

Winning the Gentleman is the second book in the Hearts on the Heath series. While it could be read as a stand-alone novel, I recommend reading Vying for the Viscount first, as that is where we are first introduced to Aaron Whitworth (our mmc).

Top Ten Tuesday-Children's book edition

 Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Genre freebie (Pick any genre you’d like and build a list around it. You can even narrow the topic if you’d like, such as: thrillers with unreliable narrators, fantasy romance with fae characters, or historical romance with suspense elements.) For those who might not know, I started a new nanny position at the end of June. The girls are 22 months and 5 months old. Well, thankfully, the toddler LOVES reading, so today I am going to share the books I read on repeat! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.   

Top Ten Tuesday-Children's books on repeat

Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown-this has always been a favorite of mine

The Island Bookshop

Title: The Island Bookshop

Author: Roseanna M. White

Publisher: Guideposts

Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Christian Romance

Source: Library

My Review:

The Island Bookshop is not Roseanna M. White's normal genre to write, although she didn't stray too far from her historical roots. There are chapters dedicated to the families' past, which help them to unravel some secrets.

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? I am still dealing with my health issue, I wake up in the middle of the night feeling like I am going to pass out, or almost passing out. I was hoping it would be completely resolved by now, but it's not. It was another busy week, I think they will be, now that I am back to working 3 days a week. This weekend's agenda is to pack some (no we don't have a move day or new house yet), blog, read, and relax. I love not having any solid plans for the weekend.
