May Reading Wrap Up 2025

May was busy and went by so fast, I think things will slow down for June. I read 18 books and NO DNFs, yay! Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review. Flabbergasted by Ray Blackston continues to be a family favorite, we just listened to it for the third time.

5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? It was another long week, with lots of extra appointments. The best thing about this week is that my husband and I went to the Cain concert on Wednesday night and we had a blast. I hope to get a post up about it soonish. We looked at a house yesterday, and the only good thing about it is that it was near a library we had not been into yet, so I decided to check it out 😂. Happy Mother's Day to those of you who are moms. My kiddos are working/gone today, so it will just be me and my husband hanging out, sorting through things today.

In Too Deep

Title: In Too Deep

Series: Dive Team Investigations #2

AuthorLynn H. Blackburn

Publisher: Revell

Genre: Christian Fiction, Suspense, Contemporary

My Review:

In Too Deep starts with a bang, and the action does not stop. Although each book could technically stand alone, I highly recommend reading the series in order.

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? My last two weeks were busy and long. I went to TN on Saturday, drove my sister to the hospital on Monday for her
surgeries, and was there ALL day. I read a little bit, but mostly worked on a crochet blanket. Tuesday we did a little shopping, and Wednesday I came home, went house hunting, Thursday was work, Friday was work and appointments and I am completely wiped out, but I have NO plans, other than church for the weekend, so I am going to take things as they come, and mostly relax! Happy Easter, friends.

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Mine was long. I started Monday at the ER (chest pains), I am fine (thankfully!), came out with some referrals I needed anyway, and read an entire book. It was a hard work week, and other stressors from extended family. This morning I went to a craft fair and bought several designs of fabric for a quilt I am hoping to start soon.

Top Ten Tuesday-Spring Possibilities round 2

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books I DNFed for whatever reason. I feel like we had this topic recently, but it's not one that I care to do, so I am going to do round two of my spring TBR. 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: Looking back at spring and summer

 Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books I Was Assigned to Read in School (These can be books you loved or hated. Or just tolerated. Bonus points if you give us a tiny review of your thoughts!) I have been out of school for a LONG time, including graduate school, so I am going to go a different direction today. I will revisit my spring and summer TBRs and see how I did. 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-FALLing for reading

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books I Read/Avoided Because of the Hype (and did you make the right choice?) I tend to avoid books that are super hyped, for whatever reason that is a turn off to me. Sometimes I will end up reading a hyped book years later, but probably wouldn't have enough to make a list from. So, I am going to go with books that are great to read in the fall. 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-ish books that are great for reading in the fall: (click on the book cover if you want to see my review of the book)

The sweater weather series are loosely tied together by their cozy fall romcom vibe and take place in the same town, Harvest Hollow.

Hey bookish friends! How are you doing? It was a really long week, with lots of extras (dentist, haircut, meetings). I did have my cyst surgery yesterday, it was more complicated than they thought it would be, but it's done. I will have a small scar on my face when it heals.  I worked this morning, and part of the afternoon.  I am wiped out.

Under Fire

Title: Under Fire

Series: Defend and Protect #3

Author: Lynn H. Blackburn

Genre: Suspense, Romance, Christian Fiction

Publisher: Revell

My review:

Under Fire is the final book in the Defend and Protect series by Lynn H. Blackburn. While it could be read and enjoyed as a standalone novel, I highly recommend reading the first two books in the series to understand the relationship between the agents.

Hey bookish friends! How are things going for you? I am planning to go to the "Hop Into Spring Vendor Show" today in Strongsville, Ohio. I know there will be one author (maybe more) there and I am planning to pick up at least one of her books 😀
