Top Ten Tuesday- Circus stories

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books Set In X (Pick a setting and share books that are all set there. This could be a specific continent or country, a state, in outer space, underwater, on a ship or boat, at the beach, etc.)  I decided to go with stories sent in or around the circus. I recently read three, so went on a search for others! 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. 

Stories set in or around the circus theme:

Hey bookish friends! How are you all doing? I am doing okay, it was a rough week. Today, I am in the car with my family and my daughter's boyfriend, headed to NC for a few days. They will be busy days and we will be back home on Wednesday. I hope to still get some time in for reading and blogging.

April Reading Wrap Up 2023

April was a good reading month! I had some days off this month and more time in the car, so I was able to get in a few more audiobooks than normal. I also finished up a few series and tried several new authors.

I finished 22 books this month. I did not have any books under three stars or any DNFs!!! Click on the book cover if you want to read my review.

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is bookish wishes. While this is a great topic, I am not able to gift books this time, so I don't feel right putting my list out there. I am on vacation and meant to schedule a post but ran out of time so this one will be quick. Today I am doing library books that I have requested and my library has bought them!
