November passed in a blur of work, travel, car troubles, and my son's ongoing recovery. I had some reading duds, but overall I think I had a
decent reading month. I read 13 books (low for me) and DNFed 1. Click on the cover of
the book if you are interested in the review.

My Review:
Shadows at Dusk is the second book in Elizabeth Goddard's Missing in Alaska series. However, it can easily be read as a stand-alone novel.
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 Shadows at Dusk by Elizabeth Goddard. It is the second book in her Missing in Alaska series.
Normally I am late with these posts, but this time I am early, LOL. But, to be real, I know I am not going to read anymore big books before September 4th, and I won't get to anymore on my summer TBR. When I planned for these challenges I had NO idea I would lose my job and then spend 2ish months setting up my a small business. This REALLY cut down on my reading time.
So, what did I read. For the 20 Books of Summer Challenge, here were my possibilities (the ones I read are linked to my reviews):
Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Most Anticipated Books Releasing During the Second Half of 2023. (So apparently this was last week's topic, so it's my freebie 😂) There are SO many great books coming out just this summer that it will be hard to limit it to ten. 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.
The Top Ten Books I am most excited about releasing the 2nd half of 2023:
I finished 13 books in June (which is the lowest I can remember-ever). Click on the cover of the book if you want to read my review.

It's
no secret that I have been trying to whittle down my physical TBR
shelves, as well as my Goodreads shelf (although I am continually adding
to that one 😂).
Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is The First 10 Books I Randomly Grabbed from My Shelf (close your eyes and touch/grab/point to 10 random titles and tell us what they are! And tell us what you thought if you’ve read them!) 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.

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:
Cold Light of Day is an excellent start to Elizabeth Goddard's newest series, Missing in Alaska.
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:
Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Cozy reads. I am not really feeling that topic (I have a hard time deciding what is a cozy read). I looked back over previous TTT topics and one was "cozy reads/wintry reads" so I decided to go with wintry reads, especially since it already feels like winter here in Ohio, LOL!

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is a Halloween Freebie. I am going to do Creepy Book Titles and try not to do ones that I did for Morbid Titles last year!

My Review:
Deadly Target is the second novel of the Rocky Mountain Courage series.
We made it to Friday!! It has been a really long week around here. Any plans for the weekend? I am planning to rest a lot this weekend, not feeling the greatest today. We are supposed to get some winter weather on Sunday (let it snow!!) so we probably won't be going to church. I also plan to do quite a bit of reading and blogging. Welcome back to
