TTT-G is for great books!

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: : Authors I’ve Met. I have already done posts like this and you can check them out here, here, here and here. I have not met any new authors since my last post. So, today I am going to continue with the alphabet and I am up to "G." I picked ten of my favorites that started with G. It is a mix of fiction and nonfiction. A  B, C, D, E and F.  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-Chunkster Books

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books with a High Page Count (Share those doorstop books!) I think "high" page count is subjective, so I am going to go with 400+ pages as those are books that count toward the "Big Book Challenge" and the limit of what some of my book club members will read for our meetings. So, let's see what I come up with today, I know I don't read as many chunkster books as I used to. I did not include anthologies or Bibles in my list. 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.

April Reading Wrap-Up

Happy May, my bookish friends!!! I can't believe the year is almost half over! My daughter has finished up her semester at college and my son will be graduating high school soon. To say time is flying is an understatement. How was reading month? I had a mixed reading month.

Top Ten Tuesday-Top books of 2022 (Jan-Apr)

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is bookish merchandise I would like to own. I have bought quite a few books recently, and got bookish merch for Christmas, so honestly, I am not feeling this topic at all. I think today I would rather share my "top" books of 2022 (so far). 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.

So far in 2022 I have read 73 books. Here are my 5-star books for the first quarter of the year: 

The Great Alone

Title: The Great Alone

Author: Kristin Hannah

Genre: Historical Fiction,

Publisher: St. Martins Griffin

My Review:

This was my second time reading The Great Alone. I do not normally reread a book, but this one was for my book club, and it had been long enough that I didn't remember most of it.

It's Monday! What are you reading? #8 '22

 Happy Monday, my bookish friends. It's been a while since I have participated in this meme.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are planning to read over the week. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and add to your TBR pile! This meme is hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date. I am reading The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. I read it back in 2018 and since it is my book club's pick for April I am rereading it.

Top Ten Tuesday-Books I think could be classics someday

Hey bookish friends! I hope you are having a fabulous weekend. Today is a bit dreary but it's supposed to clear up and get to about 77 degrees.
