This is my second time reading Cross Fire, the second novel in the Holly series by C.C. Warrens. If you have been around here any length of time, you know that I consider this series one of my all-time favorites. This series MUST be read in order. There is a thread that goes through the entire series.

Stacking the Shelves #206 Sunday Post #203 Sunday Salon #197

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? Time change made the week seem so long, as did the crazy weather. I loved the sunshine when we had it, but wasn't thrilled to see snow flurries as well. I am feeling called to read more of my own books, so with the exception of two of the library books I had out, I took them all back this week. I am in a weird head space, so also doing some rereading to help with stress. Not much going on this weekend, just normal weekend stuff (picking up groceries, laundry, church). I don't think the weather is going to be warm enough to be outside.

The Backpack Bride

Title: The Backpack Bride

Series: Give a Bookish Girl a Biker #1

Author: Dulcie Dameron

Source: Own

My Review:

The Backpack Bride is the first book in the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker series. The series has multiple authors, so the books will be loosely connected and easy to read as stand-alone novels. This novel is a spinoff from Dulcie's Switch and Score book.

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? It was another long week, and I am sick again, with bronchitis and a sinus infection. Thankfully, my energy is okay. I got sick from the kiddos at work, so I have been working even while sick. My daughter is in for the weekend, but we are not doing very much, just normal stuff around the house (laundry, cleaning, all the fun stuff ;)).
