Not What We Pictured

Title: Not What We Pictured

Author: Becca Kinzer

Source: own

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  BC, 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.

5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Some Bright Someday

Title: Some Bright Someday

Series: Maple Valley #2 

Author: Melissa Tagg

Source: Library

My Review:

Some Bright Someday is the second in the Maple Valley series. I didn't realize that some of the characters first appeared in the Walker series (I haven't read it). I didn't feel like I missed anything, but I would have preferred to know that before diving into this series. This book can easily be read as a stand-alone, but I recommend reading Now and Then and Always first.

Stacking the Shelves #213 Sunday Post #210 Sunday Salon #204

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? I am doing much better than I have been, and even graduated from PT, earlier than anticipated, praise God! Last weekend, my husband I visited Shipshewana, Indiana. We enjoyed our time in Amish country, despite the stresses that creeped in.
