Stacking the Shelves #79, Sunday Post #76, Sunday Salon #70

Hey bookish friends! How are you all doing? I am doing okay. Another busy week and I am on day 4 of another sore throat. Not sure what is going on. This morning my husband and I ran errands (including a trip to Barnes and Noble). This afternoon I worked on our business for a while, and then sewed for a while. Tomorrow I hope to rest and relax. What are your plans for the weekend?

Top Ten Tuesday-Goodreads Giveaways

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books on My Summer 2023 to-Read List. I basically did that when I did my 20 Books Of Summer Post. So, today, I decided to do something I have never done before. I am featuring that last ten book giveaways I have entered on Goodreads. I have NEVER won a giveaway on there, but it doesn't stop me from entering. Especially since some of you have won, so I know it's possible 😀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 #2

This is my second week participating in stacking the shelves and hopefully it will be something I do each week. It will be challenging to remember what books I have acquired from week to week.

It's Monday! What are you reading?

 It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organize yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn here at The Book Date.

I am currently reading The Trouble with Jenny: Wind Chronicles book 1 by Kathy Geary Anderson.

 I enjoyed this story. Cassie does not know what she is getting herself into when she decides to move in with the Keim's and help with their grandchildren. Cassie is a joy and a delight.

Top Reads Jan/Feb. 2021

 

 

 I have read fifty books so far in 2021. Don't ask me how I have done it because I honestly don't know.

Anyway, true confessions, several of them are children's books that I have done for reviews 😀(and several are in progress). So maybe that is how I have done it. So, I want to take a
