The Lady of Larkspur Vale is my first book by Kasey Stockton, but it won't be my last. I have not read the first in the series, but I did not feel like I missed anything by starting with the second book.

Top Ten Tuesday-10 physical books on my shelves I want to read soonish

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Unread Books on My Shelves I Want to Read Soon (Bonus points if you tell us how long it’s been sitting on your shelf waiting for you.) Well, I am going for extra, extra bonus points by telling you I currently have 215 physical fiction books sitting on my shelves waiting to be read. Obviously, this is not counting my nonfiction books, books I might want to read of my family members, or the books on my Kindle 😬. I still want to read them all, but I will start with the 10 I want to read sooner rather than later. 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 Books I own that I want to read sooner rather than later (and how long they have been on my shelf):

Stacking the Shelves #117, Sunday Post #114, Sunday Salon #108

Hey bookish friends! How are you doing? I am not as on top of the reading and blogging as I would like to be. This month is still kicking my tail. We have had a lot of extras this week, including a visit to the doctor for me (I was FINALLY able to establish care with my new primary physician), and a doctors visit for my son, he has a viral infection. Today, I worked most of the day and then tried to do this post, but my blogger account would not load anything. It finally started working again, yay! Tomorrow we are staying in, resting and relaxing.
