December passed in a blur of rental cars, work, Christmas, travel, and finally some down time!! I had some reading duds, but overall I think I had a decent reading month. I read 17 books and I did have a few 5-star reads! Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.

My Review:
I have wanted to read An Amish Christmas at the Apple Blossom Inn since it came out last year. I had read other things by Debra Torres, but this is my first book by Tracy Fredrychowski.
Happy
Friday, my bookish friends! I hope you
all have a great day and
weekend! First Line Friday is 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. This week I am reading An Amish Christmas at the Apple Blossom Inn by Debra Torres and Tracy Fredrychowski.
Happy May, my bookish friends!!! I can't believe the year is almost half over! My daughter has finished up her semester at college and my son will be graduating high school soon. To say time is flying is an understatement. How was reading month? I had a mixed reading month.
I read 19 books, dnf 1. Click on the cover of the book if you want to read my review.

My Review:
Forbidden Truth is Debra Torres second novel. I would HIGHLY recommend reading the first book, Forbidden Gift, first.
Happy Friday, my bookish friends! Any
plans for the weekend? My daughter is home for the weekend and we are going to her grandparents house tonight and if the weather permits spend some time on the lake tomorrow! Have a great Easter weekend!
Happy Tuesday, friends! The theme for today's top ten Tuesday is books I would hand to someone who claims to not like reading. This is difficult for me to do because I feel like you really have to know someone and their interests in order to find a book that will be a good fit for them. Plus, the mood they are in as well will affect their enjoyment of a book. So, I decided to tweak this a bit and do 10 books that surprised me-meaning that I enjoyed more than I thought I would (actually have 11 and could have kept going 😉). To find out what our other bookish friends are doing for Top Ten Tuesday check out That Artsy Reader Girl.
I highly recommend listening to this one on audio for your first reading, otherwise you might miss some of the sarcasm and allegory. This is NOT a genre I would normally read from, but it was fabulous!

"The hairs on the back of my neck stood up when I heard the noise again. The sound seemed almost human."
