TTT-summer of possibilities 2026

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. I have missed the last several weeks and I am glad to be back today!! Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books on My Summer 2026 To-Read List. This one will be easy as there are SO many books that I want to read. The hard part will be narrowing it down to 10. Since I am still trying to focus on what I own, most some of these will be books I already have. 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-Possibilities for what I will read this winter

 

The Q by Beth Brower and Illusion by Ginny L. Yttrup

September Reading Wrap Up 2025

I don't know how we are already at the end of September! I didn't have as many 5-star reads this month, but I still read a lot of good books. I read 17 books (1 reread) and had 4 DNF's and one two star read (which I don't talk about on here). Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  

Convergence

Title: Convergence

Author: Ginny L. Yttrup

Publisher: Shiloh

Genre: Psychological thriller, suspense, Christian Fiction

Source: Own

My Review:

One of the things I enjoy about Ginny L. Yttrup's stories is that they are all standalone novels. Convergence is a masterfully woven story that immediately sucked me in.

Top Ten Tuesday-Fall 2025 TBR part 2

 Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books on My Fall 2025 to-Read List. Since I have almost twenty books I own that I want to read before the end of the year, plus a few ARCs, I started my fall TBR last week. You can see part 1 here. 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-Fall 2025 TBR Part 2

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte-this one intimidates me and I keep putting it off.

Top Ten Tuesday-Fall 2025 TBR part 1

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Literary/Bookish Candles I’d Make (Pick a book and assign it a fragrance or fragrance combo that would make a nice candle.) (Submitted by Heather @ The Frozen Library). While this is an interesting idea, I don't have the creative power to think this through, so I will be going a different direction. I have almost twenty books I own that I want to read before the end of the year, plus a few ARCs, so I am going to start my fall TBR early. 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-Unforgettable books to read again

 Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books I’d Like to Re-read (Share either your favorite books that you enjoy re-reading or books that you’d like to read again!) (Submitted by Becky @ Becky’s Book Blog) I am not a huge rereader, but I am finding more and more books that I do want to re-read, so maybe it is growing on me. In order for me to want to read a book again, it has to make an impression, a book that is unforgettable. So, this is a list of unforgettable books that I would love to read again. 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-Summer Vibes

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Summer Freebie (Pick any topic you can think of that fits into the category of “summer”. If it’s winter where you are, switch it up!) I decided to go with book covers that give off summer vibes. I went back to books that I physically own, either a paperback or on Kindle, this way reminding myself of the books I still need to read. And, trying not to share the same books all the time, LOL!  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.

45 Favorite books

So, today is my birthday and I decided to do a fun post (for me😂), not sure if you will find it fun or not. I have a ton of favorite books (244 (that I have remembered to mark) on my Goodreads shelf), so it will still be hard for me to narrow this down to forty-five...I might cheat a little and say "series," but, it's my birthday and I can do what I want, LOL! So, not in any particular order, or linked to any reviews (because I am lazy), here are forty-five of my favorite books:

Top Ten Tuesday-Most Recommended Books

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is books I recommend to others the most. I don't really have a book I recommend the most because of the diversity of reading interests. So, I am going to do this just a little bit different. 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. 

Ten (So many) Books/Series I Recommend the Most:

Suspense:

The Holly Series by C.C. Warrens. This is one of the best series I have ever read. I have read all of her books and they have all been five stars (I have not read her novella yet). As an added bonus C.C. is very creative and has a bookish shop, check out her T-shirts/swag, I want them all 😂

Top Ten Tuesday-Books I love that were written years ago

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is books that I love that was written over 10 years ago.

Top Ten Tuesday-Books I wish I could have read in one sitting

Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday! While I love to read it is rare to have uninterrupted time to just sit and read. I imagine it is the same with you. So, this week’s topic features books that I would read in one sitting (or would if I had the time!) I imagine this will be an easy list to make, especially since there were several books recently that I have not wanted to put down to do anything. Those are the types of books that I will feature this week. The hard part will be narrowing it down to just 10!! You know, typical book nerd problems 😂 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
