Stacking the Shelves #220 Sunday Post #217 Sunday Salon #211

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? We had a blast at the concerts last weekend, it was just what we needed. This was a hard week, lots of stress, and with drama in my book club, and the final word is that we dissolved it after three years. I will miss it, but I am thankful for the years we had. I have no idea what we plan to do this weekend (recover?), but I won't be posting next weekend, we will be in NC having a quick visit with my husband's family. What are your plans for the weekend?

My Review:

Cool Beans

Title: Cool Beans

Series: Maya Davis #1

Author: Erynn Mangum

Source: Own

My Review:

Okay, I loved this book. Maya Davis is quirky and fun. She tells the truth with no filter. I love that she writes everything down on sticky notes. And, of course, her caffeine addiction amused me. Her friendship with Jack is fun and flirty (although she doesn't recognize that it is flirty).

TTT-Book Series catchup

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic isBook Series I Want to Catch Up On (or series you’d like to start). I have finished 19 series so far this year. It is always a goal to finish some, but I never commit to a certain amount because I don't want to put too much pressure on me, especially since I am a mood reader. And, as a mood reader, it is hard for me to narrow down which series I want to finish (I currently have 48 series started that I do want to finish (some series have been DNFed)). Of course, part of the problem is that some of the books in the series have yet to be written, making it hard to complete them. 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.

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.
