Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? I had a decent week. I was able to walk outside twice this week, which was such a blessing. Thursday was super nice and my boss decided we both needed a half day to enjoy the sunshine. I went to the lake beach that is nearby, walked, then settled in to read my book. I was there an hour and a half, in the 75 degree weather, and it was glorious! Also, the highlight of my week. We are going through a lot of hard and found out Thursday afternoon another member of the family has cancer. We are waiting to hear if it has spread or is confined. This weekend is on the cold/rainy side again, so it is mostly chores and cleaning on our radar. Do you have anything fun planned?

My Review:

I am really enjoying the Bookstrings series and was super excited for this book. While Cross Words could be read as a standalone novel, I highly recommend reading the other books first, since this book mentions characters/situations from previous books.

My Review:

I enjoy Sarah Young's devotionals. When I saw she had written one for Easter and the Lent season, I knew I had to read it.

TTT-2026 Spring Pile of possibilities

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books on My Spring 2026 To-Read List. This is always fun and I have a gazillion books I want to read. Just and FYI, I am struggling and in a weird head space. My mom is not doing well, and is officially in hospice. I am grieving (anticipatory grief), and it is hard for me to focus and keep up with things. If you notice slack over the next few weeks (or past few weeks), this is why. I will be taking steps back and not always participating in all the things, however, I do plan to keep reading! 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 have really enjoyed this series! I wasn't going to read this one because it seemed like the series wrapped up in book two, but this book is Sophia's story (Marcus's sister).

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? I had a decent week. We had book club Thursday night and that was fun. I am not sure, as I type this, what we are doing this weekend. My daughter might come for a visit, she might not. I don't know if the weather is supposed to be nice or not, but I am hoping to get some walks in. I am excited that it is officially spring, I am just hoping the weather gets the memo, LOL! Bring on the sunshine and warm weather! Also, I am struggling and in a weird head space. My mom is not doing well, and I just found out she is officially in hospice. I am grieving (anticipatory grief), and it is hard for me to focus and keep up with things. If you notice slack over the next few weeks (or past few weeks), this is why.

My Review:

This is my second time reading this story, but the first time reading it in chronological order. This is the first in the Seeking Justice series, but it comes after Crossed Off, the third Holly novel.

My Review:

I am enjoying rereading the Holly series, and this is the second time I have read Crossed Off. I can see why my original review is so bland:

Uncomplicate It

My Review:

When I first saw this book, I was like, "I don't need it." Yet I was curious, so I requested it for review. You guys, this is a book that I didn't know I needed! I alternated between savoring it and rushing through it! There are SO many nuggets of wisdom in this book, I have a gazillion things highlighted.

Cross Fire

Title: Cross Fire

Series: Holly #2

My Review:

This is my second time reading Cross Fire, the second novel in the Holly series by C.C. Warrens. If you have been around here any length of time, you know that I consider this series one of my all-time favorites. This series MUST be read in order. There is a thread that goes through the entire series.

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? Time change made the week seem so long, as did the crazy weather. I loved the sunshine when we had it, but wasn't thrilled to see snow flurries as well. I am feeling called to read more of my own books, so with the exception of two of the library books I had out, I took them all back this week. I am in a weird head space, so also doing some rereading to help with stress. Not much going on this weekend, just normal weekend stuff (picking up groceries, laundry, church). I don't think the weather is going to be warm enough to be outside.

I was looking forward to Marcus's story, and it did not disappoint.

The Backpack Bride

Title: The Backpack Bride

Series: Give a Bookish Girl a Biker #1

Author: Dulcie Dameron

My Review:

The Backpack Bride is the first book in the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker series. The series has multiple authors, so the books will be loosely connected and easy to read as stand-alone novels. This novel is a spinoff from Dulcie's Switch and Score book.

Top Ten Tuesday- Ordinal Numbers

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Book Titles Featuring Ordinal Numbers (Ordinal numbers are numbers that define an item’s place in a series. For example: first, second, third, fourth, tenth, fourteenth, thirty-third, one hundredth, etc.) (submitted by Joanne @ Portobello Book Blog). I am sure I can find something to fit today's prompt, let's see what we have! (Not much as it turns out, will be short and sweet) 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.

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? It was another long week, and I am sick again, with bronchitis and a sinus infection. Thankfully, my energy is okay. I got sick from the kiddos at work, so I have been working even while sick. My daughter is in for the weekend, but we are not doing very much, just normal stuff around the house (laundry, cleaning, all the fun stuff ;)). 

Lucky Left Wing

Series: Dating a Denver Dragon #6

Author: M. J. Padgett

My Review:

Lucky Left Wing is the sixth and final book in the multiauthor series, Dating a Denver Dragon. It can be read as a standalone novel. However, it is fun to see all the Denver Dragon characters, especially in the epilogue, ten years later.

Series: Serendipity & Secrets #1

My Review:

The Lost Lieutenant is the first book in the Serendipity & Secrets series by Erica Vetsch. My only regret is letting it languish on my TBR for so long.

Top Ten Tuesday-Book Preorders

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Genre Freebie. I decided to go with book preorders. I have never done a post like this before, probably because I rarely do preorders (money has always been tight). But, this year, there are a handful of books (7!) I can't wait to get my hands on, so I decided to do preorders. I love being able to support authors in this way, and trust me, I understand not everyone can. I also love supporting my library! 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. 

Top Ten Tuesday-Book Preorders for 2026

Cross Words by Chautona Havig releases 3/9/26 on Kindle, but it available in paperback now. My copy is supposed to arrive today. This is part of her Book Strings series, which I have loved.
