Stacking the Shelves #168, Sunday Post #165, Sunday Salon #159

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? It was another long week, we spent quite a bit of time getting the house ready for pictures, so we can list it on Friday! Thursday was mine and my husband's 26th wedding anniversary, and between his job and mine, plus book club, we spent exactly no time together 😂. We did however take time to pose for a quick picture, which I will post below. He was getting ready for work and I was in my workout clothes, LOL!  On Friday I spent 2 hours in Joann Fabrics, I am going to miss that store (will post a picture of my haul below as well). We will be working on the house more this weekend (garage, blah), but will find time to relax as well.

Tozer: Mystery of the Holy Spirit


T
itle: Tozer: Mystery of the Holy Spirit

Author: A. W. Tozer

Publisher: Bridge Logos

Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Christian Living,

My Review:

Tozer is in a league of his own. His theology is sound and at times difficult to follow. However, Mystery of the Holy Spirit is worth the read.

Top Ten Tuesday-I want to read them all

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Ways in Which My Blogging/Review Style Has Changed Over Time (submitted by Susan @ Bloggin’ ’bout Books). My answer: my font has gotten larger, and I occasionally do more of a list type review, other than that, my review style has not changed, so it would be pretty boring and impossible to come up with 10 ways my blogging style has changed. Instead, I am going to share ALL the books I am currently wanting to read, and either have downloaded to my kindle, have out from the library,  or own. 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-I want to read them all right now! (just the tip of the iceberg, I have more I want to read right now 😂)

 
I checked The Goodbye Bride by Denise Hunter out from the library and then realized I have book #3 Just a Kiss on my physical shelf, so I want to read them both to finish this series.

First Love, Second Draft

Title: First Love, Second Draft

Author: Becca Kinzer

Publisher: Tyndale House

Genre: Christian Fiction, RomCom, Contemporary Romance

Source: Library

My Review:

First Love, Second Draft takes a hot minute to get into with the changing perspectives of the story. You have the story of the main characters, Noah and Gracie, and you also get the perspective of Gracie's nephew Matt.

Stacking the Shelves #167, Sunday Post #164, Sunday Salon #158

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? It was another long week, with lots of extra appointments. The best thing about this week is that my husband and I went to the Cain concert on Wednesday night and we had a blast. I hope to get a post up about it soonish. We looked at a house yesterday, and the only good thing about it is that it was near a library we had not been into yet, so I decided to check it out 😂. Happy Mother's Day to those of you who are moms. My kiddos are working/gone today, so it will just be me and my husband hanging out, sorting through things today.
