June Reading Wrap Up 2025

You guys, I have no idea how it is July! Where did June go? And, will July go just as fast (I hope not!)? Anyway, June was a pretty good reading month. I read 18 books and DNF'd one. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

Top Ten Tuesday-Recap of Anticipated releases early in 2025

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Freebie/Throwback (Come up with a topic you’d like to do or go back and do an old topic you missed or just want to do again!) With us doing our most anticipated releases for the last half of the year last week, quite a few of you revisted your 1st half list and said how you did. So, this week, I am looking back at what I anticipated from the first half of the year and seeing how many of them I read. 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-Did I read all of my anticipated reads from the first half of the year? Spoiler alert-no. But, you can click on the cover to see my review of the ones I did read, if you are interested.

Stacking the Shelves #174 Sunday Post #171 Sunday Salon #165

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? It was a busy, weird week. I can't remember most of what happened, LOL, but on Wednesday my daughter passed her kidney stone, praise the Lord! Then she immediately got in the car and drove to Columbus for a job interview. Talk about perfect timing! I also had a job interview on Wednesday and got the job. I start work on Monday. The bad news I got last Friday is that my mom's cancer is now in both lungs, and we were expecting to get a short this is it notice, like 6 months, but her doctors said that without treatment she should live several years, for this we are thankful. We are hoping to go back out to the beach lake this weekend, depending on the weather. We need some serious vitamin D and downtime. 

Hearts Aweigh

Title: Hearts Aweigh

Publisher: Kregel

Genre: Christian Fiction, Humor, Contemporary Romance

My Review:

The Shippers are back in Hearts Aweigh and are up to more matchmaking shenanigans. While this book can be read independently, I recommend reading Love Overboard first. This is where we are first introduced to the Shippers.
