TTT-Cover Love

 Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday! I hope you are off to a great start to your week. This week’s topic features books that I would want to buy/read based on the cover. Since I just bought 33 books over the weekend, I will pick 10 from that book haul. If you want to see all 33 books or find out why I bought so many books at one time (trust me, not my normal!!!) you can read that blog post here. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what books others would buy/read or some other take on this week's topic.

No add July update

 July was hard because I decided not to buy any books or add any books to my to-be-read list on Goodreads. The plan was to work on catching up on reviews and obligated books, not adding any more obligations. Which I did. I read quite a bit and while I am not as far behind I am not completely caught up either! I went to several bookstores in July and walked out with no books for me...until yesterday. We are in Virginia visiting friends and they mentioned they had a McKay's bookstore 😲 Not sure how we have been here for 10 years and not know that (our checkbook thanks us!).

First Line Friday #11-Woman in Shadow

Happy Friday! I hope you are having a great day and looking forward to a relaxing weekend! I am excited to be in VA this weekend with some longtime friends 😀
Welcome back to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books!! I will also be linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. It’s time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line. This week I am sharing from Woman in Shadow by Carrie Stuart Parks. 

An Unexpected Amish Courtship

Title: An Unexpected Amish Courtship

Series: Surprised by Love #2

Author: Rachel J. Good

Publisher: Zebra Books

Genre: Amish, Christian Fiction, Romance

My review:

While this is the second book in the series it can easily be read as a stand-alone. There are a few characters who make appearances from the first book, but there is not so much background that you are lost. 

Love and a Little White Lie

 Title: Love and a Little White Lie

Series: State of Grace #1

Author: Tammy L. Gray

Publisher: Bethany House

Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Romance, Christian fiction

Source: Library Book

My review:

This is the first book that I have read by this author but it will not be my last. I am eagerly waiting to get my hands on the second book in the series, Love and the Silver Lining, expected to release on August 3rd. I will have to see if my library has it, if not I will request they purchase it.
