Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Thanksgiving Freebie. I am going to do a few updates/thankful things. Our house has officially sold with the close date 12/16, but we do have until 1/4/26 to move out. We have two out of state trips planned during this time, so life is crazy busy. I am going to scale back on my posting and visiting other blogs. Not because I want to, but I simply am not going to have time to do all that I would normally do with my blog (I mean, it's going to take a while just to pack the books and I have to pack the whole house 😂). If you visit and comment I will do my best to get over to your blog.

Top Ten Tuesday-Not my typical books
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books I Enjoyed that Were Outside My Comfort Zone (or books you’d like to read that are outside your comfort zone!) I feel like I have done this topic before, or something similar, but since I couldn't find it, I will just apologize if this is a repeat, LOL!

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: The First 10 Books I Randomly Grabbed from My Shelf.

Top Ten Tuesday-It's all about the mistletoe
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Halloween Freebie. I am not doing anything for Halloween (except working), and don't read books that would fall under the Halloween vibe, so I am going a different route. It's all about the mistletoe. I have quite a few books on my TBR with Mistletoe in it, so I thought I would go that direction!

Top Ten Tuesday-Cozy Atmospheric Reads
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Cozy/Atmospheric Reads. For this topic, I am going with books that tend to be read in the fall, give off fall vibes, have a cozy drink, or romcoms because that is cozy and atmospheric to me right now. I don't want anything too heavy. I have mostly skipped to Christmas reading, but do still have a few fall themed books I want to read this year. Hopefully, this will be a new list, and not stuff I have already shared, LOL!

Top Ten Tuesday-Random nonbookish post
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Non-book Freebie (Come up with a topic that’s not bookish! You could share something about yourself like your hobbies, things you collect, fandoms you’re a part of, things on your bucket list, places you’ve traveled, things you’re proud you’ve accomplished, challenges you’ve overcome, your favorite recipes/sports teams/foods/etc. Or you could go down the less personal route and share your ten most visited websites, your favorite trends in fashion right now, the TV shows you’re obsessed with, etc. Or just have your pet guest post and share their top ten favorite things! Anything goes.) Well, we'll just see together what this post ends up being, other than random.

Top Ten Tuesday-Satisfying book series
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Satisfying
Book Series. I love this topic, I think the hardest part will be narrowing it down to ten! I will apologize in advance if I have mentioned all of them a thousand times already 😁. I narrowed it down by choosing series that I have read all the books and none of the books in the series have less than four stars. I narrowed it down further by not allowing myself more than one series per author (I started with over 30 series).

Top Ten Tuesday- Twelve satisfying book series (because I narrowed it down far enough, LOL!)-the first book in each series will be pictured and linked to Goodreads
1. The Holly Series by C.C. Warrens-suspense, thriller, no romance, Christian

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.)

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Literary/Bookish Candles I’d Make (Pick a book and assign it a fragrance or fragrance combo that would make a nice candle.) (Submitted by Heather @ The Frozen Library). While this is an interesting idea, I don't have the creative power to think this through, so I will be going a different direction. I have almost twenty books I own that I want to read before the end of the year, plus a few ARCs, so I am going to start my fall TBR early.

Top Ten Tuesday-When All You Want is Silence
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Villains (favorite, best, worst, lovable, creepiest, most evil, etc.). I'm sorry, but I don't read a lot of books with true villains, and the suspense with bad guys, I just don't remember enough details to do a list. So I am going to go a different route, going with books that have Silence in the cover-and they MIGHT have villains.

Top Ten Tuesday-Chunkster Books
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books with a High Page Count (Share those doorstop books!) I think "high" page count is subjective, so I am going to go with 400+ pages as those are books that count toward the "Big Book Challenge" and the limit of what some of my book club members will read for our meetings. So, let's see what I come up with today, I know I don't read as many chunkster books as I used to. I did not include anthologies or Bibles in my list.

Top Ten Tuesday-No book slump here
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books Guaranteed to Put an End to Your Book Slump (Which books would you recommend to someone (it’s me, I’m someone) dealing with the dreaded book slump? No book is grabbing their attention or making them excited to sit down and read and they are suffering for it.) I can't guarantee that these books would get everyone out of a book slump, but these are books that would get me out of a book slump. I was originally going to just go with romcoms, but I decided to be a bit more versatile. The thing they all have in common: the stories stuck with me.

You can even narrow the topic if you’d like, such as: thrillers with unreliable narrators, fantasy romance with fae characters, or historical romance with suspense elements.) For those who might not know, I started a new nanny position at the end of June. The girls are 22 months and 5 months old.

Top Ten Tuesday-Books with Honorifics in the Title
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books with Honorifics in the Title (“…an honorific is a form of address conveying esteem, courtesy or respect. These can be titles prefixing a person’s name, e.g.: Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms., Mx., Sir, Dame, Dr., Cllr, Lady, or Lord, or other titles or positions that can appear as a form of address without the person’s name, as in Mr. President, General, Captain, Father, Doctor, or Earl.” For more info, click here.) (Submitted by Joanne @Portobello Book Blog) This sounds like a fun topic and I am curious to see what I can come up with. I don't think I read a lot of books with titles, but we will see!
