August Reading Wrap Up 2026

August was a blur. It was busy and I can't quite remember most of what I did, LOL. I did a lot of walking, so I finished more audiobooks than I normally would. I feel like I got a lot of reading in this month. So, lets see what I actually did. I finished 24 books, and I had one DNF and one 2-star read. Overall, I was disappointed in quite a few books that I read, which doesn't normally happen. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

My Review:

This is one of those books where I do not know what to say for the review. My words will not do it justice.

Top Ten Tuesday-New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2023

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday is New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2023. I read 57 new-to-me authors in 2023, so I will narrow it down to my top 10 that I am likely to read again.

February Reading Wrap Up

While February is a short month, it felt long this time with all the sickness we had in our house. However, it was a good reading month.

I finished 18 books and DNF 1 in February. Click on the cover of the book if you want to read my review.

My review:

Despite having several of Christina Suzann Nelson's books on my TBR, What Happens Next is the first book I have read by her. I wish I had started reading her books when I first heard about her. 

Top Ten Tuesday-February TBR

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is 2023 debut books I am looking forward to. Since I literally have no idea of ANY debut books I am looking forward to (does this mean new author debut books? (my assumption) Or just books coming out in 2023?), I decided to go with my February TBR. I never do a monthly TBR so it's new for me, LOL. I decided to list ten of the authors I plan to try this year! 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. 

10 Books I plan/hope to read in February:

Stacking the Shelves #57, Sunday Post #54, Sunday Salon #48

Hey bookish friends! How are things going for you? My husband and son are off to NC for the weekend (back late Monday night), so I am home alone. I spent the entire morning cleaning/organizing, and I plan to spend the rest of today and most of tomorrow blogging and reading 😀
