Once Upon a Buggy

Title: Once Upon a Buggy

Series: The Amish of Apple Creek #2

Author: Shelley Shepard Gray

Genre: Amish, Christian Fiction, Retellings,

Publisher: Kensington

Source: Author provided/Net Galley

My review:

When asked if I would review Once Upon a Buggy, I knew I liked the author's books and figured I could squeeze it into my schedule. I had no idea it was a Beauty in the Beast retelling. I have not read the first book in the series, (yet) but Once Upon a Buggy can be read as a stand-alone novel.

Top Ten Tuesday-Indie Authors

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Indie/Self-Published Books (submitted by Nicole @ BookWyrm Knits). I am excited about this title because I have read quite a few Indie Authors 😂 The hard part will be remembering WHO they all are, LOL. 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 Indie/Self-Published Authors:

You all know I am going to start with Emma St. Clair! I love her books. These represent two of her series. Emma writes sweet, closed-door romantic comedies. They are hilarious. Her heroines are typically sassy and there is always some kind of animal in each book (notice I didn't say pet 😂).

March Reading Wrap Up

I blinked and March was gone. We need to make the most of the days because they are going by so fast!

I finished 22 books in March and DNFed 2. Click on the cover of the book if you want to read my review.
