Stacking the Shelves #35, Sunday Post #32, Sunday Salon #26

Hey bookish friends! How are things going for you? I had a very busy week and I am exhausted, so taking it easy this weekend. I am hoping to read and work on catching up on some blogging.

Can't Wait Wednesday-Cross the Line

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing Cross the Line by C. C. Warrens. It is the fourth book in the Holly series and is set to release October 31, 2022. I absolutely loved, loved, loved the first three books in the Holly series and had NO idea a fourth one was releasing. This is absolutely a must-read series and one I would LOVE to own the paperbacks for (the first 3 are free on Kindle Unlimited, so if you have that, GO read them!!).

Top Ten Tuesday-WOW Books

 Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is books that are too good to review properly. I know I have said this multiple times while I have been writing reviews, so will try to find 10 to share, hopefully ones that have not been overshared by me. 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!

Best of the Best 2021

Today I am participating in the Top 10 of 2021 hosted by Kimberly Faye Reads. Today's topic is the best of the best books. I am excited to share my favorite reads of 2021. They were not necessarily released in 2021, I just read them in 2021. As of today I have finished 251 books and it will be difficult to narrow it down to just ten, so I am going to cheat just a little bit and do a couple of different categories. The books will not be in any particular order.

The Best Fiction I read this year: 

Top Ten Tuesday-Cover Love

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas weekend! I did. I am now at my sister's house in TN, so not a lot of time to do a post. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is your favorite reads of 2021 and since I don't have a lot of time today, I will do that topic on Thursday. You can see all the details at That Artsy Reader Girl. Since I am also  participating in the Top 10 of 2021 hosted by Kimberly Faye Reads, I will do today's topic, which is cover love. The topic for Thursday is top reads of 2021, which is why I will do that one then 😀 You can see all the details at That Artsy Reader Girl. However, before I get into today's post I would love to take a minute to thank The Story Enthusiast and Ashley@therusticreadinggal for being Santa and sending me a book 😀 I was beyond thrilled to receive them!

Holly Jolly Christmas

Title: Holly Jolly Christmas

Series: Seeking Justice

Author: C.C. Warrens

Publisher: C.C. Warrens

Genre: Christmas, Christian Fiction

My Review:

I always have a hard time putting down C. C. Warrens books, and this one was no different! While Holly Jolly Christmas could be read as a stand-alone Christmas novella, I would not read it without first reading the Holly series.

Top Ten Tuesday-Bookish Memories

Happy Tuesday, friends! Today's theme is sharing about our bookish memories, books that made an impression on you, events you have gone to, etc. To find out what our other bookish friends are doing for Top Ten Tuesday check out That Artsy Reader Girl.

Top Ten Tuesday-Memorable Quotes

Happy Tuesday, friends! The theme for today's top ten Tuesday is memorable book quotes. This is a bit difficult for me because I don't keep a quote journal or anything like that. Sometimes I put memorable quotes in my reviews, and that is where I will be looking to hopefully find ten quotes.

Top Ten Tuesday -20 Books for Christmas

 Happy Tuesday, friends! Today for top ten   Tuesday we get to pick our own topic! I decided to join the #20booksforChristmas challenge. This will be my first year joining in all the fun 😀 I love Christmas and enjoy reading books about Christmas. This is the first year that I can recall starting to read Christmas books this early. Usually I wait until around Thanksgiving. However, this year needs more Christmas and hope, wouldn't you agree?

Can't Wait Wednesday-Firefly Diaries

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This week I am showcasing Firefly Diaries by C. C. Warrens. I love her books, they are full of edge-biting suspense and I can't wait to read this one!!! It releases on October 6, 2021. I love the creepy house on the cover...what do you think of the cover?

Top Ten Books that I loved that made me want more

I am eventually going to post regularly on this blog! I would love a post a day, but sometimes there are none, and other days there are two, but hey, I guess I get points for trying, right? Today I decided to join a link-up because it sounded fun and got me thinking! I love when I come across things like this 😀

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today’s topic is Books I Loved that Made Me Want More Books Like Them. This topic especially appealed to me because I am constantly adding to my never-ending to-be-read pile...either in cyberspace on my Goodreads shelf, or on my Kindle (over 1,000 unlogged books, send help!!) or here, physically on one of my many bookshelves, but then it still gets added to Goodreads...
