Top Ten Tuesday-Fall Vibes 2025
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Book Covers that Give off Fall Vibes (Or, if you’re not a cover person, share the books in general that feel like Fall.) I have done this topic four times and I am not sure if I can come up with anything new, but I will try.

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).

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? It was another long week, we spent quite a bit of time getting the house ready for pictures, so we can list it on Friday! Thursday was mine and my husband's 26th wedding anniversary, and between his job and mine, plus book club, we spent exactly no time together 😂. We did however take time to pose for a quick picture, which I will post below. He was getting ready for work and I was in my workout clothes, LOL! On Friday I spent 2 hours in Joann Fabrics, I am going to miss that store (will post a picture of my haul below as well). We will be working on the house more this weekend (garage, blah), but will find time to relax as well.

A is for Amish

Series: Amish ABCs
Author: Shelley Shepard Gray
Publisher: Kensington Publishing
Genre: Christian Fiction, Amish,

My Review:
What I love about Shelley Shepard Gray's books is that you are immediately drawn into the story. There are not long descriptions or introductions. A is for Amish is about four siblings thinking about becoming Amish.

Rendezvous update 2
So, part two of the JustRead Rendezvous 2024 reader event. You can read part one here. After lunch was another reader panel. Kimberley Woodhouse was the moderator of this one. Each author had to pick one of their characters to be and only answer as that character. It was hilarious. Several authors on the panel were suspense writers, and a couple were fantasy. Sara Ella was one of the authors and I loved her answers. She was in character as Alice in Wonderland from her book The Wonderland Trials. While I had read several authors books who were on the different panels throughout the day, hearing all the authors talk and interact made me want to read their books, even though several are genres I don't read.

Top Ten Tuesday-Bookish Books
Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday is Books I’m Worried I Might Not Love as Much the Second Time Around. As someone who rarely rereads, I am going to skip this topic. I thought about doing books with "March" in the title, I have exactly zero on my Goodreads account. I also thought about books with "spring" in the title, yeah, it wasn't working either. Instead, I am going to do ten books with "book" in the title.

October Reading Wrap Up 2023
On the personal side, October was a hard month with my son's surgery and ongoing recovery, and having had (and still have) bronchitis for the last two weeks. I had some reading duds, but overall I think I had a decent reading month. I read 22 books and DNFed 1. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.
