Stacking the Shelves #115, Sunday Post #112, Sunday Salon #106

Hey bookish friends! How are you doing? I hope you all had a great Easter weekend. I decided to take a mini-blog break and spend time with my family, and just relax, I wasn't feeling the greatest. This week has been long, I put in my notice at my nanny job, and have worked long days with my business, I am wiped out. I am going to share books I have gotten over the last 2 weeks.

Top Ten Tuesday-Favorite Books of 2023

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Favorite Books of 2023. I am not going to try to narrow my favorites down to ten. With over 40 books added this year to my favorites shelf on Goodreads, I will do my best to narrow it down to a reasonable number. 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.

October Reading Wrap Up 2023

On the personal side, October was a hard month with my son's surgery and ongoing recovery, and having had (and still have) bronchitis for the last two weeks. I had some reading duds, but overall I think I had a decent reading month. I read 22 books and DNFed 1. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.

My Review:

Crossroads is book number five in the Holly series, although all of C. C. Warrens books are loosely connected. Her Holly series needs to be read in order.

Top Ten Tuesday-September TBR hopefuls

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books That Defied My Expectations. While I have started a list with this topic I have two books on it, and just can't think beyond that. So I am going to be totally lame and do a September TBR 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.

Ten books I plan (hope) to read in September:

Stacking the Shelves #82, Sunday Post #79, Sunday Salon #73

Hey bookish friends! How are you all doing? I am doing okay, it was a rough week. Today, I am in the car with my family and my daughter's boyfriend, headed to NC for a few days. They will be busy days and we will be back home on Wednesday. I hope to still get some time in for reading and blogging.

Top Ten Tuesday-Most Recommended Books

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is books I recommend to others the most. I don't really have a book I recommend the most because of the diversity of reading interests. So, I am going to do this just a little bit different. 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.

~~Ten~~ (So many) Books/Series I Recommend the Most:

Suspense:

The Holly Series by C.C. Warrens. This is one of the best series I have ever read. I have read all of her books and they have all been five stars (I have not read her novella yet). As an added bonus C.C. is very creative and has a bookish shop, check out her T-shirts/swag, I want them all 😂

Top Ten Tuesday-Indie Authors

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Indie/Self-Published Books (submitted by Nicole @ BookWyrm Knits). I am excited about this title because I have read quite a few Indie Authors 😂 The hard part will be remembering WHO they all are, LOL.

Top Ten Indie/Self-Published Authors:

You all know I am going to start with Emma St. Clair! I love her books. These represent two of her series. Emma writes sweet, closed-door romantic comedies. They are hilarious. Her heroines are typically sassy and there is always some kind of animal in each book (notice I didn't say pet 😂).

Top Ten Tuesday-Favorite books of 2022

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday is our favorite books from 2022. Not sure how I am supposed to narrow it down to 10, but will give it my best shot 😂 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.

Well, this should be easy since I marked 56 of the books I read this year as favorites 😂😂 Here are my top 10ish (in no particular order):

Top Ten Tuesday-Books I wish Santa would bring me

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday is books I hope Santa brings me this year. I know one book he is bringing me because I was with my son when he bought it 😂 and since I have not bought myself any books for Christmas I doubt I will get anymore, which is fine, I have plenty.

Top Ten Tuesday- Bookish and Crafty Gift Ideas

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is a freebie. With Christmas just around the corner, I decided to do a mix of bookish and crafty gift ideas. 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.

Ten bookish and crafty gift ideas:

1. Bookish shirts

One of my favorite series is the Holly series by C.C. Warrens. I recently found out C.C. Warrens has an Etsy shop. One way to support the book lovers in your life AND authors is to shop from their favorite authors shop (assuming they have one!). Two items I wouldn't mind owning myself and would be great for book lovers are these:

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Book Tag

I came across this Book Tag watching Oceana over at GottaReadEmAll channel on YouTube. She is a book tuber I have recently started following and I love her videos! She is so real and authentic. Anyway, I thought this was a fun prompt so I decided to do it here!

Here are the prompts:

Top Ten Tuesday-Buy Worthy Books

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books I Loved So Much I Had to Get a Copy for My Personal Library (Submitted by Alecia @ The Staircase Reader). This should be fairly simple for me as I can think of a few books I have added over the last few years for this exact reason 😀 The hard part will be narrowing it down 😂 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.

First Line Friday #61-Cross the Line

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! Any plans for the weekend? I am in Ohio moving my daughter back to college 😢 and will be spending all day tomorrow driving back home.

Welcome back to First Line Friday hosted by Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and leave a comment with the first line (or your link). This week I am reading Cross the Line by C.C. Warrens. It's the fourth book in the Holly series. I LOVED the first three books, they are FABULOUS, more suspense/thriller, little to no romance, and I am enjoying this one!!!
