Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Mine was okay. I was sick last weekend so I didn't do much. This week was mostly routine stuff, working, taking care of the house, working on a quilt. My son is sick today and was told that he had to go back to work tomorrow, because he doesn't have a fever. He has a sore throat and horrible runny nose, so not sure why they would want him there, it's frustrating. Anyway, we will be sticking close to home this weekend. 

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.

My Review:

As one who does not enjoy cozy mysteries, take my review of A Penny for Your Thoughts with a grain of salt. I keep trying cozy mysteries and hoping for a better result. I did finish this one, so there is that.

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.

Top Ten Tuesday-10 physical books on my shelves I want to read soonish

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Unread Books on My Shelves I Want to Read Soon (Bonus points if you tell us how long it’s been sitting on your shelf waiting for you.) Well, I am going for extra, extra bonus points by telling you I currently have 215 physical fiction books sitting on my shelves waiting to be read. Obviously, this is not counting my nonfiction books, books I might want to read of my family members, or the books on my Kindle 😬. I still want to read them all, but I will start with the 10 I want to read sooner rather than later.

Top Ten Tuesday- "A" books

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday is Movies/TV Shows That Would Have Made Amazing Books (Submitted by Sabrina @ Notes From a Paper Plane Nomad). Seriously at a loss, thought about it for 2 days, and I have nothing. We don't watch a lot of TV or movies. So, I am going to take a page out of Pam's book (Read!Create!Bake!) and do titles that start with a letter, I was going to go with C because I can see 3 books on my TBR cart at a quick glance that start with C, but better go with with A since it's my first time, LOL!

Ten books on my PHYSICAL shelves that I am might (should) going to read soonish that start with "A": 

 

Top Ten Tuesday-Green Covers

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.

Ten books I own (physical or Kindle copy) with mostly green covers:

Hey bookish friends! Happy New Year's Eve!!! Did you have a good Christmas week? We did. Me and my kiddos traveled to TN on Wednesday and got back Saturday evening. It was a quick trip, but always wonderful to see my sister and her family. Word is my car will be finished by the end of this week!!! I will update next Saturday. Today we did Church online, played a few games, and plan to do more of the same, with lots of relaxing this afternoon. Tomorrow my son goes back to work, but hubby is off. We plan to take down the Christmas tree and put the house back in order. We never stay up until midnight to celebrate, we've gotten old, LOL, and need our sleep. How do you celebrate New Year's Eve?

Top Ten Tuesday-Next 10 reads

Top Ten Tuesday-Books with Adjectives in the Title

 Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is books with adjectives in the title. I went to my Goodreads list and started with those that have been on there the longest and picked them. However, looking at my list I should probably be bothered by how often "dead" was used 😂  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, friends! The theme for today's top ten Tuesday is a Halloween Freebie, meaning we can come up with our own topic.

TTT-Stranded on a desert island

 Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday! I hope you are off to a great start to your week. This week’s topic features books that I would want with me if I were stranded on a desert island. Since I do not typically read a book over and over again, I will pick some of the books that have been on my to-be-read list for quite a while. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what books others would want if they were stranded on an island.

My Bible-if I am going to be stranded anywhere I would need my Bible for the hope and encouragement it would give me!
