Top Ten Tuesday-Earliest Published books on my Physical TBR

 Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Oldest (aka Earliest Published) Books On My TBR (submitted by Nicole @ BookWyrm Knits). I am thrilled for another easy topic that doesn't require much brain power, LOL!  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.   

Ten books that were published forever ago (that I happen to own and should read):

Rendezvous Update Part 1

Okay, you never realize how socially awkward you are until you get in a room with 200+ people! I didn't know where to sit, I just knew I wanted to sit near a door so I could make a quick exit if I needed to. I didn't know what to say to anyone I talked to and I could literally feel me closing in on myself. As the day went on I relaxed a bit more, but something about being around that many people brings out ALL my insecurities! I also don't think I used to be as socially awkward as I am now before C-vid hit. If I was, it was not as noticeable, LOL! If you are a reader I hope you get an opportunity to go to a reader's event at some point in your life. There is nothing like being with like-minded readers. It was truly an amazing experience.

Stacking the Shelves #144, Sunday Post #141, Sunday Salon #135

Hey bookish friends! These past couple of weeks have been busy. I am currently sitting in a hotel in Downer's Grove, Illinois waiting on my husband to get ready so we can head back home. We got here on Wednesday and yesterday was the JustRead Rendezvous event. More than 50 Christian fiction authors were here, with 150+ readers. It was AMAZING and exhausting and I will be devoting an entire post to the event sometime this week. Tomorrow will be church and a whole lot of relaxing. Are you doing anything fun this weekend?

My Review:

I am enjoying my time in Sanctuary. When I started reading the fifth book in the series it mentioned Shelby and Elliot, and since I had no idea who they were, I stopped reading it and started reading A Sanctuary Christmas Tale first.
