Top Ten Tuesday-Let's go hiking!

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is a Halloween Freebie. Saturday I went hiking with my husband and yesterday (Monday) I went hiking with my son. I thought it would be fun to do a post on books that have hiking in them. The problem is my memory! I know I read two books recently that had hiking in it and I only remember one of them. I also know there was one book in one of my favorite series, but of course I can't remember which book, LOL! So, what you are actually going to get are books that either have hiking in them, or are set in National parks so might have hiking in them 😂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-Christmas list of possibilities

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is books on our winter 2023-24 to read list. I have not made a list like that, and this year I don't plan to (gasp!). Usually my list is made up of ARCs and books on my book challenges. I only have one ARC that I have committed to, and I don't plan to do any traditional challenges in the next year (we'll see how long that resolve lasts, LOL). So, my list today is a Christmas list of possibilities. These are books I own, or have out from the library, or have on my Kindle.

Hey bookish friends! How are you all doing? I had a very busy, crazy week. I worked all day Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday found me running errands, doing laundry and playing catch up. Thursday I had a doctors appointment, then drove to Indianapolis and back (getting my mom). I got stuck in bad accident traffic going AND coming back. Then, an hour from home my car started acting funny. I got off interstate and it completely died! Friday I had to get a rental because today I am headed to TN to watch my niece, while my sister goes to NC for medical testing. I will be back home on Wednesday. What are your plans for the weekend?

November Reading Wrap-up

I am afraid to do this post, LOL. I have no idea how many books I actually read in November and I don't really want to see how far from my reading challenge goals I am. I have already started thinking about my goals for next year, but maybe I need to focus on completing this year first!

I finished 8 books in November and DNF 1. Click on the cover of the book if you want to read my review.

Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing Sundown the third book in the Sky King Ranch series by Susan May Warren. It comes out November 1, 2022. I enjoyed the first two books and can't wait to see how the trilogy ends!
