Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Beach/Beachy Reads (Share books you’d take to the beach OR books that take place at the beach.) I would literally take any book to the beach, so I am going to with beach settings, most with beach in the title. 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.

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. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

Top Ten Tuesday-Fall TBR 2023 1.5

Top Ten Tuesday-Book Recommendations from other Book Bloggers
Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books I’ve Read/Want to Read Because of Top Ten Tuesday (books you discovered through Top Ten Tuesday, or they kept appearing in top tens and you got intrigued) (submitted by Ellie at Curiosity Killed the Bookworm). I think this is a fabulous topic and I have been keeping a list for the last few months in anticipation of a topic like this. Unfortunately, my list is in Ohio and I am in NC, so we will have to rely on my memory, LOL! I apologize in advance for not remembering whose list I got the books from. 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.
10ish Book recommendations I want to read because of other book bloggers:
