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

Source: Hoopla

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

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.
