Stacking the Shelves #68, Sunday Post #65, Sunday Salon #59

Hey bookish friends! How are things going for you? I feel like I am starting to sound like a broken record, LOL, but it was another long week. It was a good week though, just busy. My daughter came home Wednesday night for Easter break and yesterday we celebrated my son's 18 birthday. My daughter's boyfriend is coming in a while and we are going to hang out and play some games. I am working this evening and then tomorrow we will go to church in the morning, then rest, hang out, play games, read and relax! Happy Easter ♰

First Line Friday #86-Chasing Secrets

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! First Line Friday is hosted by Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!!  I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. This week I am reading the final book in the Elite Guardian series, Chasing Secrets by Lynette Eason.   

Once Upon a Buggy

Series: The Amish of Apple Creek #2

Author: Shelley Shepard Gray

Genre: Amish, Christian Fiction, Retellings,

Publisher: Kensington

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 😂).
