70 North

70 North JustRead Takeover + Review Blitz

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for 70 North by Kimberley Woodhouse hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: 70 North
Series: Alaskan Cyber Hunters #3
Author: Kimberley Woodhouse
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: October 15, 2024
Genre: Christian Mystery & Suspense

My Review:

70 North is the final book in the Alaskan Cyber Hunters series by Kimberley Woodhouse. While it could stand alone, reading this series in order is best, as the final mastermind is revealed, and you will miss some of the connections.

Top Ten Tuesday: Looking back at spring and summer

 Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books I Was Assigned to Read in School (These can be books you loved or hated. Or just tolerated. Bonus points if you give us a tiny review of your thoughts!) I have been out of school for a LONG time, including graduate school, so I am going to go a different direction today. I will revisit my spring and summer TBRs and see how I did. 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.

Stacking the Shelves #140, Sunday Post #137, Sunday Salon #131

Hey bookish friends! How are you doing? I am doing alright. It was a super busy week, the colonoscopy went fine, other than putting me down longer than
anticipated. The sleepy drugs didn't wear off until late Tuesday, which was super weird and unwelcome. I will get the results back from the biopsies this week. I did not get much reading done this week. I worked on random stuff this morning, and hope to relax the rest of the weekend!

But He's My Fake Fiancé

Title: But He's My Fake Fiancé

Series: But He's A Carter Brother #3

AuthorAnnah Conwell

Narrator: Hayden Bishop

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance,

My Review:

I have been waiting for Grayson's story and But He's My Fake Fiancé did not disappoint!! While each book could be read as a stand-alone novel, I highly recommend reading this series in order.
