TTT-Most anticipated releases through October

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 2026 . I have been so focused on reading the books I own, or are already on my TBR, that I haven't been following new releases as closely as I normally would. So, here are the few that I am super excited about. 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. 

Still Waters

Title: Still Waters 

Series: The Amish of Shepherd's Hill #2

Author: Patricia Johns

Publisher: Bethany House

Genre: Christian Fiction, Amish

Source: Author Provided

My Review:

Still Waters is the second book in The Amish of Shepherd's Creek series, but can easily be read as a standalone novel. There is enough explanation in this book that you wouldn't miss much, but I will always recommend reading the series in order! 

Stacking the Shelves #189 Sunday Post #186 Sunday Salon #180

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Mine was mostly spent at home trying to heal from all this crud. Last Sunday I went to the doctor and they said secondary bacterial infection. Thursday found me back at the doctor because I wasn't any better and it was my last day of antibiotics. I was prescribed another 10 days of antibiotics, 2 more nasal sprays, and ordered to get out in the sun as long
as we have it for 15-30 minutes a day to boost my immune system. I didn't end up working this week, with still being sick and unsure if I was contagious, so I had more free time than normal. We are hoping to do some hiking this weekend, I am still trying to get all my energy back, but I am ready to get back to my hikes and walks as well.

Top Ten Tuesday-Fall 2025 TBR Part 2

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte-this one intimidates me and I keep putting it off.

March Reading Wrap Up 2025

March was a mix of hard moments and fun moments. We had some sickness and I feel like I read more this month trying to relax from the stressful times. I read 25 books in March, but several were 2-stars so they won't be mentioned here. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? It was another WEEK around here. Time change made the week feel longer, we had multiple extra appointments, quite a few of our classes got canceled for sickness, we found out my mom's cancer is back, she will go on Monday to see what they are going to do about it, and I am beyond exhausted.

Top Ten Tuesday- Winter 2024-2025 Pile of Possibilities

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books on My Winter 2024-2025 to-Read List. How are we already talking about 2025??? I had not started thinking much about it what I would be reading, I am happily absorbed in all the Christmas reading, but now I am, LOL! Let's see what we can come up with. 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.   

Top Ten Tuesday-Ten possibilities for my Winter TBR

ARCS for early 2025:

The New Loneliness by Cindi McMenamin

Top Ten Tuesday-Whatever the Weather reads

 Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books with Weather Events in the Title/on the Cover (I’m picturing a list of titles with weather-related words in them like storm, rain, blizzard, flood, lightning, hail, snow, wind, etc. OR covers with lightning/storms in the picture.) I have not read the books pictured here, I either own them on Kindle, or on my physical shelves, or I just want to read them. It was HARD for me to find these, I guess I don't read a lot of weather books!

10 whatever the weather reads that I want to read:

Top Ten Tuesday-Wintry Reads

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Cozy reads. I am not really feeling that topic (I have a hard time deciding what is a cozy read). I looked back over previous TTT topics and one was "cozy reads/wintry reads" so I decided to go with wintry reads, especially since it already feels like winter here in Ohio, LOL!

10ish Wintry Reads that I own (so why haven't I read them 😂):

Loving Lovina

Title: Loving Lovina

Series: The Infamous Amish Series #3

Author: Patricia Johns

Publisher: Kensington Books

Genre: Amish, Christian Fiction, Romance

Source: Net Galley

My review:

Loving Lovina is the third book in The Infamous Amish series. Ideally, reading the first two books before this one would be best. It can be read as a stand-alone novel but there is a lot of backstories. 

Top Ten Tuesday-Books on my Spring TBR

Top Ten Books with Character names that I hope to read in 2022:

The Preacher's Daughter

 Title: The Preacher's Daughter

Series: The Infamous Amish #2

Author: Patricia Johns

Publisher: Kensington Books

Genre: Amish/Christian Romance/Christian Fiction

My Review:

This is the second book in The Infamous Amish and I would highly recommend reading the first book, The Preacher's Son, before beginning this one. While this could be read as a standalone novel, it would be best to understand the backstory of the characters by reading the first novel.

First Line Friday: The Preacher's Daughter

 This is my first post for First Line Fridays and I am excited to be participating! First Line Friday is hosted by Hoarding Books.

Today for First Line Friday, I am sharing from The Preacher's Daughter, the second book in the Infamous Amish Series by Patricia Johns.
