Stacking the Shelves #151, Sunday Post #148, Sunday Salon #142

Hey my bookish friends! Are the weeks going faster, or is it just me 😜? It was a long week and I think the days are gone where I have time to get my posts completed early. In addition to working, I have been trying to get caught up on all the things, and clean some things out. However, when I saw that the used  bookstore near me was having a $5 bag sale since they are going out of business, my husband, son, and I spent an hour and a half in there Thursday morning. We still have all the snow from last weekend, and it has snowed most days this week (even when it hasn't been on the radar), and is currently snowing. It's crazy, but I do enjoy seeing it. How are things with you?

Top Ten Tuesday-Let's go hiking!

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is a Halloween Freebie. Saturday I went hiking with my husband and yesterday (Monday) I went hiking with my son. I thought it would be fun to do a post on books that have hiking in them. The problem is my memory! I know I read two books recently that had hiking in it and I only remember one of them. I also know there was one book in one of my favorite series, but of course I can't remember which book, LOL! So, what you are actually going to get are books that either have hiking in them, or are set in National parks so might have hiking in 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.

Top Ten Tuesday-Book Titles That Would Make Great Newspaper Headlines

Happy Tuesday and Happy Halloween my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Book Titles That Would Make Great Newspaper Headlines (Submitted by Cathy @ What Cathy Read Next). When making this list I tried to picture the story that came after the headline, and most of the time I went with slightly humorous.

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.

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:

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 😀

Can't Wait Wednesday-Everything is Just Beginning

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing Everything is Just Beginning by Erin Bartels. It releases January 17, 2023.  

The Girl Who Could Breathe Under Water

Title: The Girl Who Could Breathe Under Water

Author: Erin Bartels

Publisher: Revell

Genre: Fiction, Contemporary

My Review:

I have enjoyed Erin Bartels previous works. When I saw she had a new book coming out, I immediately requested it. However, this book should come with a trigger warning, especially for sensitive readers. This is a very heavy book dealing with sexual abuse. 

Top Ten Tuesday-Books on my winter TBR

Happy Tuesday, friends! Today's theme is books on our winter (or summer) TBR list.
