Hope For Tomorrow

Title: Hope For Tomorrow

Series: Hope Ranch #2

Author: Elizabeth Maddrey

Source: Own

My Review:

I didn't realize it, but Hope for Tomorrow is the second book in the Hope Ranch series. I have not read the first book and feel like I should have before reading this one. Despite owning several of Elizabeth Maddrey's books on Kindle (apparently including the first in this series), this is the first book I have read by her.

Stacking the Shelves #219 Sunday Post #216 Sunday Salon #210

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? I am doing okay.  Last Saturday our dryer went out and my MIL had a medical emergency and we almost lost her. It was a rough start to the week, but she is now home, doing better, our dryer is fixed, and my FIL finished his radiation treatments on Friday. I am feeling so incredibly thankful. Today, my husband and I are at an event called The Fest, we are only there for the concerts, we are not really festival people, LOL. My favorite band is on at 6PM and I am hoping the rain that we are supposed to get holds off. What are your plans for the weekend?

Honeysuckle Breeze

Title: Honeysuckle Breeze

Series: Sugartree Romance #2

Author: B.R. Goodwin

Source: Own

My Review:

Honeysuckle Breeze is the second book in the Sugartree Romance series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone novel. The series is about a sibling group, each one finding their happily-ever-after.

The Good Nearby

My Review:

I was tricked. Bamboozled. Taken in. Okay, maybe not, but I judged this book by its cover and *assumed* it was a light-hearted read. It is not.

TTT-On this Day

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic isBooks I Was Reading On This Day Over the Last Ten Years (Stolen from Anne @ HeadFullofBooks) My records are fairly accurate, but I wasn't reviewing as diligently as I am now, so some books only have my rating, not my review. 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.
