TTT-Priority books for 2026

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Freebie! I wasn't sure if I would be able to come up with a topic, but then I decided to talk about one of my reading goals for the year. So, I plan to read at least 50 of my owned books this year. As a secondary goal, I wanted to get my unread fiction books under 100. Well, with the few pre-orders I ordered this year (I think close to 10 total), and having won a few books...it has made the goal a little harder. So, in addition to reading from my own shelves, I am trying to read the pre-orders then they come in as well. (Spoiler alert, I am behind, LOL). So, here are 10 books that are top priority to be read before the end of the 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. 

TTT-potential books to read for Valentine's Day

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Love/Valentine's Freebie. At the beginning of the month I compiled a list of books I thought I might want to read for Valentine's Day, so I think I will share ten of those here. February, to me, is mostly for lighter reads. 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. 

Stacking the Shelves #178 Sunday Post #175 Sunday Salon #169

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Last Sunday, I did as little as I could. Which meant I mainly sat on my couch and caught up on blogging, I was so tired!  It was a busy/hard week. I am having another health issue, which will hopefully resolve soon. Monday was paddle boarding again, and it was so chilly, and I fell in the water, so I was cold the last hour of the lesson. Thursday night was book club. We discussed Untangle Your Emotions by Jennie Allen. We had a good time discussing the book, chatting, and laughing. This weekend is going to be cleaning, blogging, relaxing. No definite plans and hopefully none pop up, we need some downtime.

Top Ten Tuesday-Recap of Anticipated releases early in 2025

Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Freebie/Throwback (Come up with a topic you’d like to do or go back and do an old topic you missed or just want to do again!)

So, this week, I am looking back at what I anticipated from the first half of the year and seeing how many of them I read. 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-Anticipated releases Jan-Jun

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2025. I had read it wrong and thought it said first quarter, so it was going to be a short list. But, I might actually get ten by doing the first half of the year. I am sure there are a ton of books coming out I am going to want to read, I just don't know about them yet 😂 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.   

My most anticipated releases for the first half of the year:
