Petals and Plot Twists

Title: Petals and Plot Twists

Series: Only Magic in the Building #3

Author: Jenny Proctor 

Narrators: Stephanie Rose and Lee Samuels

My Review:

Petals and Plot Twists is a standalone book in the Only Magic in the Building series. These books are all set in the same historic building, with light magical elements and a tendency to play matchmaker among its residents.

Not What We Pictured

Title: Not What We Pictured

Author: Becca Kinzer

My Review:

I put this book off for a few weeks because the title was hitting a little too close to home, LOL. However, I have to let go of my regret of judging a book by its title and assuming it would be similar to my situation.

TTT-E is for enduring books

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books I Can't Believe I Never Read. I am not one to linger very long on books that I never read, or worry about what I might be missing out on. I have plenty of books that I want to read. Therefore, I am going to go a different route today. I am going to continue with the alphabet and I am up to "E." I don't know if these books will stand the test of time and be "enduring" books or not, but for me all but one was a 5-star read, and that one was a 4-star.  A  B, C, and D. 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. 

May Reading Wrap Up 2026

May was an odd month, and my reading was down just a bit. I read 15 books, one was a 2-star, so it won't be on here, and I had one DNF.  Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.
