Stacking the Shelves #135, Sunday Post #132, Sunday Salon #126

Hey bookish friends! How are you doing? Last weekend, we were supposed to be in NC, so I hadn't planned to do this meme because I wanted to be present with my husband's family. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we didn't end up going. So, on that Friday, my husband and I went to the final quilt stores I needed to visit to finish the All Ohio Shop Hop!! I have a post linked below if you want to see all the quilt squares I ended up with 😉. We ended up doing a staycation the rest of the weekend. We played a lot of board games together and relaxing, which was good because this week we finally got back to our "normal" routine and it kicked my tail, with extra appointments and stuff. This weekend is going to be very low-key.

Top Ten Tuesday-Authors I discovered in 2022

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is new-to-me authors I discovered in 2022. I did not focus on new authors as much in 2022 as I did in 2021 (I read over 146) . So, I am curious how many I read as well 😀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. 

New-to-me authors discovered in 2022 and the first book I read by them:

Well, looks like I read 55 new ones 🤯 so I will link to my Goodreads shelf and highlight my top 10 favorites:

Spell the Month in Books-December 2022

I have seen this meme around a few times but never on the day it posts. Today I happened upon it and decided to participate. It is hosted by Jana @ Reviews From the Stacks. Here is how she describes the meme:

Top Ten Tuesday-Top books of 2022 (Jan-Apr)

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is bookish merchandise I would like to own. I have bought quite a few books recently, and got bookish merch for Christmas, so honestly, I am not feeling this topic at all. I think today I would rather share my "top" books of 2022 (so far). 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.

So far in 2022 I have read 73 books. Here are my 5-star books for the first quarter of the year:

Top Ten Tuesday-Books I think could be classics someday

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is 21st century books I think will become classics. This is an interesting topic and is going to require some brain power, LOL. 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. Today's great topic was submitted by Lisa of Hopewell.

I headed over to Goodreads to make this list. I started with my favorites and only picked books that had over 10,000 ratings, in some cases over 100,000 😲

Ten + 21st century books I think will/could become classics:

Stacking the Shelves #9/Sunday Post #6

Hey bookish friends! I hope your weekend is off to a great start. I am struggling with a few things today and it has increased my depression, so I am going to try to do things today that are relaxing 😁 What are your plans for the weekend?
