Hey bookish friends! How are things going for you? I feel like I am starting to sound like a broken record, LOL, but it was another long week. It was a good week though, just busy. My daughter came home Wednesday night for Easter break and yesterday we celebrated my son's 18 birthday. My daughter's boyfriend is coming in a while and we are going to hang out and play some games. I am working this evening and then tomorrow we will go to church in the morning, then rest, hang out, play games, read and relax! Happy Easter ♰

Stacking the Shelves #20, Sunday Post #17, Sunday Salon #12

Hey bookish friends! How are things going for you? I had a pretty good reading week. In the other part of my life it was a stressful week. Not much going on here, probably another weekend of mostly reading and relaxing 😀

Top Ten Tuesday-Books I wish I could have read in one sitting

Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday! While I love to read it is rare to have uninterrupted time to just sit and read. I imagine it is the same with you. So, this week’s topic features books that I would read in one sitting (or would if I had the time!) I imagine this will be an easy list to make, especially since there were several books recently that I have not wanted to put down to do anything. Those are the types of books that I will feature this week. The hard part will be narrowing it down to just 10!! You know, typical book nerd problems 😂 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
