Stacking the Shelves #129, Sunday Post #126, Sunday Salon #120

Hey bookish friends! How are you doing? Last weekend, Saturday did not go according to my plans, so I don't think I will make any for this weekend 😂 (and even that changed since I first typed it, I will be working at least part of the morning). It was a somewhat odd week, yesterday was my birthday and I am thankful to be beginning my 46th year on this planet. I hope you all have a great weekend!

(submitted by Cathy @ WhatCathyReadNext) I am going to tweak the topic slightly. Instead of picking one book to rave about, I am going to list ten things that will keep me engaged in a book. 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.

My Review:

I love reading Courtney Walsh's books and have been going back and reading some of her older works. However, Just Look Up was somewhat of a disappointment.
