Top Ten Tuesday-Animals gone wild

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Titles with Animals In Them and/or Covers with Animals On Them (submitted by Rachel @ Sunny Side). I have to admit I am not one of those people who love animals in all my stories, no offense, but I can take them or leave them. So, let's see if I can come up with anything. I am going with covers with animals on them because I can't think of a single title with an animal in it. 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 Covers with Animals on them:

Chasing Secrets

Title: Chasing Secrets

Series: Elite Guardians #4

Author: Lynette Eason

Genre: Suspense, Christian Fiction,

Publisher: Revell

Source: Library

My review:

Chasing Secrets is the last book in the Elite Guardian series. It can be read as a stand alone novel, but all the previous elite guardians are part of this story, so it's best to read them in order for full enjoyment.

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 ♰

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

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.
