My Review:

When I saw Friends and the couch on the cover of this book, I immediately wanted to read it. I had never heard of Joanna Hagan, but I wanted to hear more about Friends and was curious about Friends and the Golden Age of the Sitcom.

Summer of Yes

Title: The Summer Of Yes

Author: Courtney Walsh

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Genre: Women's Fiction,

Source: Library

I recommend reading several reviews before deciding whether or not to read The Summer of Yes. Don't rely on my words alone, but find the critical reviews. Stop looking at reviewers who only give 4 or 5 stars because not all books should be rated that high. On my blog I only feature books that (to me) are 3 stars or higher, but I do rate lower and mark my DNF books on Goodreads.

Stacking the Shelves #136, Sunday Post #133, Sunday Salon #127

Hey bookish friends! How are you doing? I had a pretty good week, other than having an upper respiratory thing this week. We are mostly back to our normal work week. My son took yesterday and today off of week, so we are planning to play some board games today. I am also planning to read, work on some sewing projects, and relax. I am thankful we don't have many plans this weekend and can just take it easy.

Publisher: Dreamscape Media

My Review:

The Real Fake Fiance' is the third book in the Love in Mirror Valley series. I recommend reading them in order or risk a few spoilers. Otherwise, it does read fine on its own.

Born of Gilded Mountains

Title: Born of Gilded Mountains

Author: Amanda Dykes

Publisher: Bethany House

Genre: Christian Fiction, Historical Fiction, Adventure,

My Review:

Born of Gilded Mountains by Amanda Dykes is one of those books that is hard to review. It is a book that is best to experience. With that in mind, I will review it but know that my review will not do the story justice.

Top Ten Tuesday-Books that are easy to escape into

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books That Provide a Much-Needed Escape (bonus points if you tell us why!). I am of the mindset that ALL books (at least fiction) provide an escape, so I am tweaking the topic just a little bit to books I recently loved escaping into. In order to make the list, the books must have received 5-stars from me. And, since I have read a TON of romcoms recently...hopefully there is a little bit of variety in the list😂. 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.
