May Reading Wrap Up 2025

May was busy and went by so fast, I think things will slow down for June. I read 18 books and NO DNFs, yay! Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review. Flabbergasted by Ray Blackston continues to be a family favorite, we just listened to it for the third time.

Stacking the Shelves #169 Sunday Post #166, Sunday Salon #160

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? It was another long week, but we made it!!! I have officially closed down my business and I am jobless. It was a hard week of goodbyes and see ya laters. Our house went on the market yesterday. We were supposed to be in NC this weekend, but my son has a bad cold, my husband's family said not to come, so we are in TN instead, at my sister's house. We are hoping to relax a little bit over the next few days.

Top Ten Tuesday-Historical books I own that I need to read

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books Set in Another Time (These can be historical, futuristic, alternate universes, or even in a world where you’re not sure when it takes place you just know it’s not right now.)  I really don't read books that are alternate universes, or futuristic, but I do read Historical fiction, so I will focus on ten historical fiction books I own that I still need to 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.

First Line Friday #60-Whispers from the Shadows

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! Any plans for the weekend? I am still recovering from my superficial keratectomy, had a follow-up yesterday, my eye looks good, but the blurry vision could persist for another few weeks. I will visit blogs as I can.

Welcome back to First Line Friday hosted by Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and leave a comment with the first line (or your link).  This week I am reading Whispers from the Shadows by Roseanna M. White. It's the second book in The Culper Ring series series. I am listening to it on audio since my vision is still good for reading.
