The Run Option

Title: The Run Option

Series: More Than A Game #3

Author:  Annah Conwell

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: Contemporary Romance, RomCom

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

The Run Option is the third book in the More Than A Game series, but I think it could easily stand alone. The series is a group of friends, with each book focusing on a different friend.

The Perfect Putt

Title: The Perfect Putt

Series: More Than A Game #2

Author:  Annah Conwell

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: Contemporary Romance, RomCom

Source: Own

My Review:

The Perfect Putt is the second book in the More Than A Game series, but I think it could easily stand alone. 

March Reading Wrap Up 2025

March was a mix of hard moments and fun moments. We had some sickness and I feel like I read more this month trying to relax from the stressful times. I read 25 books in March, but several were 2-stars so they won't be mentioned here.

Top Ten Tuesday-2024 Releases I was excited about but...

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: 2024 Releases I Was Excited to Read but Still Haven’t Gotten To (will you be prioritizing these this year?) This should be interesting. I don't remember release years but Goodreads should be able to help a girl out. 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.   

2024 New Releases I OWN that I was excited to read and still haven't (in my defense, your honor, I got several of these in Nov/Dec):

Stacking the Shelves #150, Sunday Post #147, Sunday Salon #141

Happy New Year my bookish friends! I am slowly easing my way back into all the things after taking a break from everything that I could for the last week or so. We did travel to TN so it wasn't quite as restful as I would have liked, but that's okay. I didn't have time to do much reading or anything while I was gone, so not much to report today, LOL! We have gotten about a foot or so of snow in the last two days, it's beautiful, but it also blows my mind. I am still not used to this weather, but I am not complaining. How's the weather by you?

Top Ten Tuesday-Dear Santa, I Want Them All

Happy Tuesday and MERRY CHRISTMAS my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is : Books I Hope Santa Brings/Bookish Wishes (List the top 10 books you’d love to own and include a link to your wishlist so that people can grant your wishes. Make sure you link your wishlist to your mailing address or include the email address associated with your e-reader in the list description so people know how to get the book to you. After you post, jump around the Linky and grant a wish or two if you’d like. Please don’t feel obligated to send anything to anyone!)

I thought about skipping this one, but I love seeing people's wishlists (don't we all!) and I hope to grant a few wishes today. 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-Dear Santa, I Want Them All

I love Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster. I first read it on Kindle and LOVED the illustrations. I bought a copy for my keeper shelf and it didn't have illustrations!!! So, now I have one on my wishlist.

October 2024 Reading Wrap Up

October feels like it was a pretty good reading month. It was another month with quite a few romcoms, but I also read my first Christmas book of the season. Let's see how I actually did. I read 20 books and DNF'd one. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.

But He's My Fake Fiancé

Title: But He's My Fake Fiancé

Series: But He's A Carter Brother #3

Author: Annah Conwell

Narrator: Hayden Bishop

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance, 

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

I have been waiting for Grayson's story and But He's My Fake Fiancé did not disappoint!! While each book could be read as a stand-alone novel, I highly recommend reading this series in order.  

But He's My One Regret

Title: But He's My One Regret

Series: But He's A Carter Brother #2

Author: Annah Conwell

Narrator: Rusty Mewha

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance, 

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

But He's My One Regret is the second book in the But He's A Carter Brother series. I highly recommend reading the Sweet Peach series first, as this is where the brother's are first introduced, then read this series in order.

One Last Play and But He's My Grumpy Neighbor

Title: One Last Play

Series: Sweet Peach #4

Author: Annah Conwell

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance, Sports Romance

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

One Last Play is the final book in the Sweet Peach series. This series follows a group of friends, and while it doesn't necessarily have to be read in order, you will get small spoilers by reading it out of order.

September 2024 Reading Wrap Up

September was a blur. I don't really feel like I accomplished or did much. I read 18 books and DNF'd two, but I had more variety in reading this month!! Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.

5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The First Taste

Title: The First Taste

Series: Sweet Peach #3

Author: Annah Conwell

Narrators: Amanda Friday and Andy Harrington

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: RomCom, Christian Fiction, Contemporary

My Review:

The First Taste is the third book in the Sweet Peach series. I highly recommend reading them in order. They follow a group of four best friends and each book builds on the previous one.

Top Ten Tuesday-Books that are easy to escape into

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books That Provide a Much-Needed Escape (bonus points if you tell us why!). I am of the mindset that ALL books (at least fiction) provide an escape, so I am tweaking the topic just a little bit to books I recently loved escaping into. In order to make the list, the books must have received 5-stars from me. And, since I have read a TON of romcoms recently...hopefully there is a little bit of variety in the list😂.  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-Books I think involve food

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books Involving Food (That are Not Cookbooks) (Submitted by Cathy @ WhatCathyReadNext and Hopewell’s Public Library of Life) I am tweaking the topic just a little bit to books I think involve food (because I have not read these so I don't know for sure).
