Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? We did go for that long walk/hike on Sunday. We went to Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I took a ton of pictures, so click on the link if you are interested in that. The only problem, is that after such a big hike on Sunday, I started the week off exhausted, and it just kept going. By Friday afternoon, I was so overtired and done. We do hope to hike again this weekend, but other than that and my daughter coming in for a short visit, we don't have much plans. 

Top Ten Tuesday-Recap of Anticipated releases early in 2025

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. 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!) With us doing our most anticipated releases for the last half of the year last week, quite a few of you revisted your 1st half list and said how you did. 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.

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? We got more snow, which canceled a few of our classes, and my book club that was supposed to meet Thursday evening. I am feeling a bit under the weather, a respiratory thing, I think. I have another big book haul this week, but mostly library and review books. I plan to relax and do very little this weekend, what about you?!

Hey bookish friends! How are you doing? I am exhausted (so what else is new 😂). I hope to do some work this morning, then rest, read, blog, and crochet for the rest of the day and after church tomorrow. Fingers crossed that everything goes according to the plan.
