Title: All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes

Author: Betsy St. Amant

Publisher: Zondervan

My Review:

All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes is a sweet, quick read. There is some drama (expected for a reality TV show), tender moments, and a few grand gestures. My favorite part is the ending.

Top Ten Tuesday-Characters with glasses

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic Covers with [Item] on the Cover (You choose the item! It can be anything at all.) I decided to go with characters with glasses on, but think I should have gone a different direction, LOL! It was hard! Not surprisingly, most of the ones I found were romcoms. 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.

October 2024 Reading Wrap Up

October feels like it was a pretty good reading month. It was another month with quite a few romcoms, but I also read my first Christmas book of the season. Let's see how I actually did. I read 20 books and DNF'd one. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.

Stacking the Shelves #143, Sunday Post #140, Sunday Salon #134

Hey bookish friends! It was a little bit of a lighter week, we didn't have classes on Thursday because of Halloween and that is our busiest day. My husband and I decided to go on another hike this morning and it was great. I was feeling a primitive trail this morning, and with yesterday's workout and the trail, I will be feeling it all weekend 😂. But, I don't mind because it means I did something. Tomorrow will be church and a whole lot of relaxing. Are you doing anything fun this weekend?

A Guardian Till Christmas review + giveaway

Title: A Guardian Till Christmas
Author: Danielle Thorne
Publisher: Love Inspired
Release Date: October 22, 2024
Genre: Inspirational Romance

My review:

Kylee is used to being in full control, until her sister and brother-in-law unexpectedly pass away leaving her in charge of their four-year-old twins. Kylee is determined to care for them by herself despite Evan's willingness to help.

I am all about being independent, but her stubbornness was very frustrating. It made her an unlikable character.
