Stacking the Shelves #185 Sunday Post #182 Sunday Salon #176

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? We hiked again last weekend, and my son started college on Monday, after taking 3 years off of school and just working. It was another busy week and Thursday I noticed the toddler I nanny was getting sick, so yesterday (Friday), my boss ended up giving me the day off, as the baby and her husband was sick! I feel like I am coming down with something, please pray I don't get sick, or it goes away quickly, as we are going to TN next weekend for a sibling reunion so my mom can see us all together again before she passes (terminal cancer, she may have a year or two, but wants to travel now, while she still feels up to it). It has been 13 years since we were all together, and one of my nephews wasn't even born then. Today we are planning to do another hike, and my son is off so he can join us! Other than that and Church tonight, I plan to read, blog, and relax this weekend.

Top Ten Tuesday-Anticipated releases for second half of 2025

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the Second Half of 2025. Yay, thank you Jana, for an easy topic this week 😁. I keep a list on Goodreads for 2025 book releases, so this should be fairly easy. The hard part will be narrowing it down, (and I ended up adding more to my list, LOL). 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 bookish friends! How are you all doing? I had another busy week, but it was slower toward the end of the week. Still no word on when we will get the car back. Today I am resting, tomorrow I am going to Church, and Monday I will be celebrating Christmas with my family (with reading on the agenda every day, of course!). What are your plans for the weekend? Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!!!

Top Ten Tuesday-Bookish Books to read

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic Bookish People I’d Like To Meet (These can be authors, book characters, book bloggers/influencers, cover designers, cover models, etc.) Since I really don't have any thoughts on this topic today...I decided to instead list ten bookish books that I want to read (Which might help me with this topic next time it comes up 😂). 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 Bookish Books I want to read (and yes, you will have seen a few of these before because I own them and STILL haven't read them 🤦)
