TTT-potential books to read for Valentine's Day

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Love/Valentine's Freebie. At the beginning of the month I compiled a list of books I thought I might want to read for Valentine's Day, so I think I will share ten of those here. February, to me, is mostly for lighter reads. 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. 

Summer Reading challenges wrap-up post 2025

In addition to the 20 Books of Summer Challenge and Big Book Challenge, two of my blogging friends made a summer bingo challenge. I wanted to support them, so I attempted to find books that fit in their categories as well. Even though these challenges run a few more days, I am not likely to squeeze anything else in, so I am posting a few days early.

My original post for the 20 Books of Summer Challenge and Big Book challenge is here.

The books I read for 20 Books of Summer from the original list:

June Reading Wrap Up 2025

You guys, I have no idea how it is July! Where did June go? And, will July go just as fast (I hope not!)? Anyway, June was a pretty good reading month. I read 18 books and DNF'd one. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

Hearts Aweigh

Title: Hearts Aweigh

Author: Shannon Sue Dunlap

Publisher: Kregel

Genre: Christian Fiction, Humor, Contemporary Romance

My Review:

The Shippers are back in Hearts Aweigh and are up to more matchmaking shenanigans. While this book can be read independently, I recommend reading Love Overboard first. This is where we are first introduced to the Shippers.

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Monday found me at the doctor's office, I had a bad viral infection. When I got home, we had a text from our realtor that the buyer had backed out of our house, so it is back on the market. My son is finally better, my husband went back to work for the first time this week yesterday, and I am still sick. I am planning to go to a fabric sale this morning, she is selling most things a dollar per pound 😮, so I don't want to miss it. Otherwise, unless we have house showings, this weekend will be pretty chill.

Top Ten Tuesday-Last ten books added to my want to read list

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Things Characters Have Said. While this is a cool topic, I don't track things characters say, so it would be difficult for me to come up with a post. So, since my TBR is ALWAYS growing, I decided to post the last ten books I have added to my "want to read" list on Goodreads (currently 763 just on this list). 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.   

Last Ten Books I added to my want to read list on Goodreads:

Hey bookish friends! How are you doing? I am doing alright. It was a super busy week, but I also don't feel like I accomplished much. I am working this morning, then plan to spend the rest of the day crocheting, blogging, and reading (I hope!). Tomorrow I am doing the dreaded colonoscopy prep for my colonoscopy on Monday, so I won't be much. I hope you all have a great weekend!

May 2024 Reading Wrap Up

May was a crazy, busy month with two trips. I feel like I did more reading toward the end of the month. So let's see what it actually looks like 😂. I finished 16 books and apparently it was RomCom/Contemporary fiction month, LOL! Usually I have more of a mixed bag of genres. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.
