What month are we wrapping up? With being sick at the beginning of the month, I got to read more books this month, and had quite a few 5-star reads. I read 20 books and had 1 DNF and one two star read (which I don't talk about on here). Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

My Review:
I think my creative review juices have up and left me. I don't really know what to say about The Thief of Blackfriars Lane.
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Literary/Bookish Candles I’d Make (Pick a book and assign it a fragrance or fragrance combo that would make a nice candle.) (Submitted by Heather @ The Frozen Library). While this is an interesting idea, I don't have the creative power to think this through, so I will be going a different direction. I have almost twenty books I own that I want to read before the end of the year, plus a few ARCs, so I am going to start my fall TBR early. 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.

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books With Occupations in the Title (Submitted by Hopewell’s Public Library of Life). I limited myself by ONLY going through my physical book shelves. 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.

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Non-bookish Freebie (The sky is the limit here. Make a top ten list on any topic of your choosing, bookish or not!). I am going to go with some bookish confessions.

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 Books on my spring TBR round 2: (a mix of library books and books I own)
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books Set in Another Time (These can be historical, futuristic, alternate universes, or even in a world where you’re not sure when it takes place you just know it’s not right now.) I really don't read books that are alternate universes, or futuristic, but I do read Historical fiction, so I will focus on ten historical fiction books I own that I still need to read.

My Year in Books
Rules?
Here we are for another monthly wrap up fa la la la la la la la la. I have no idea how it is already December. It's hard to slow down and enjoy anything when time is marching along at warp speed. I feel like November was a good reading month, so let's get to it! I read 17 books and DNF'd one. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.

My Review:
Of Gold and Shadows is the first book I have read by Michelle Griep, but it won't be my last. She is an author I have been meaning to try, so when the opportunity to review this book presented itself, I accepted.
Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books on My Fall 2024 To-Read List. I missed participating last week, but I knew I wouldn't have time to visit other blogs. This week I am sharing books that I have ARCs for and others I want to read this fall...although I haven't thought much about it yet, LOL!

Top Ten Tuesday: my reading options (suggestions) for fall
ARCs (ones I have already committed to whether I have them in my hands already or not):
Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books I Was Super Excited to Get My Hands on but Still Haven’t Read. So, I see we are having confessional today, LOL! I am not sure I really want to confess, but I will because I know I am not alone!! The hardest part is going to be narrowing it down to ten. I will also say, some were gifted, some were won, and some I did actually buy.

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday is Weird or Funny Things I’ve Googled Thanks to a Book (Submitted by Astilbe @ Long and Short Reviews) As someone who rarely ever googles things from books I read, I am going to skip this topic. Instead, I am going to do green covers in honor of St. Patrick's Day coming up.
