January was a dumpster fire and I don't think I have ever been so ready to flip the calendar to a new month! I won't recap here all the bad from the month, but I will talk about all the books I read. I read 18 books and DNF'd 2. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

Series: Falling Into Happily Ever After
Author: Ellie Hall
Publisher: Independently Published
Genre: Christmas, RomCom, Contemporary Romance,
Source: Kindle Unlimited
My Review:
While An Unconventional Christmas Love Story is part of a series, it easily reads as a standalone novel (I have not read any of the others in the series).
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Halloween Freebie. I am not doing anything for Halloween (except working), and don't read books that would fall under the Halloween vibe, so I am going a different route. It's all about the mistletoe. I have quite a few books on my TBR with Mistletoe in it, so I thought I would go that direction!

Top Ten Tuesday-It's all about the mistletoe
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Book Covers that Give off Fall Vibes (Or, if you’re not a cover person, share the books in general that feel like Fall.) I have done this topic four times and I am not sure if I can come up with anything new, but I will try.

Top Ten Books That Scream Spring:
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books that Include/Feature [insert your favorite theme or plot device here] (for example: unreliable narrators, coming of age, darkness vs. light, time travel, metafiction, a specific romantic trope, good vs. evil. cliffhangers, flashbacks, plot twists, red herrings, loose ends, stories within stories, meet cutes, symbolism, etc.) (submitted by Alice @ The Wallflower Digest) I really enjoy the Marriage of Convenience trope, so that is what I am going to share about today.

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is another freebie. I was going to go with covers with Christmas lights on them, but since I found exactly zero, I decided I should head in a different direction. Then I decided to share my top Christmas reads, until I realized I did that last year. So, I am going super generic and will be sharing books with Christmas trees on them. Then I am going to list a few things I am thankful for. 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.

September was a blur. I don't really feel like I accomplished or did much. I read 18 books and DNF'd two, but I had more variety in reading this month!! Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.

My Review:
I am a sucker for a good book cover. The Grump and the Girl Next Door by Ellie Hall fits the bill perfectly. This is the first book in her newest series, On the Hunt for Love.
Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday is a Love Freebie (in honor of Valentine’s Day tomorrow). I will be sharing books with "love" in the title. I will share five that I have read and five that I hope to read soonish.

Five Books I Loved (clicking on the cover will take you to my review):
At the beginning of the year I listed my 2023 Bookish goals. I am very much a type A personality. When I set a goal I have every intention of getting it, and I feel this internal pressure to finish what I started. As the year progressed, I was really feeling pressure to hit my book challenges, but had lost sight of my reading goals. So, let's see how I did!
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is books on our winter 2023-24 to read list. I have not made a list like that, and this year I don't plan to (gasp!). Usually my list is made up of ARCs and books on my book challenges. I only have one ARC that I have committed to, and I don't plan to do any traditional challenges in the next year (we'll see how long that resolve lasts, LOL). So, my list today is a Christmas list of possibilities. These are books I own, or have out from the library, or have on my Kindle.
