Top Ten Tuesday-FALLing for reading

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books I Read/Avoided Because of the Hype (and did you make the right choice?) I tend to avoid books that are super hyped, for whatever reason that is a turn off to me. Sometimes I will end up reading a hyped book years later, but probably wouldn't have enough to make a list from. So, I am going to go with books that are great to read in the fall. 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.  

Ten-ish books that are great for reading in the fall: (click on the book cover if you want to see my review of the book)

The sweater weather series are loosely tied together by their cozy fall romcom vibe and take place in the same town, Harvest Hollow.

  

26 Below

Series: Alaskan Cyber Hunters #1

Author: Kimberley Woodhouse

My Review:

I have read and enjoyed several of Kimberley Woodhouse's historical fiction books, but 26 Below is my first glimpse of her suspense writing. 

Fit God's Way

Title: Fit God's Way: Your Bible-Based Guide to Food, Fitness, & Wholeness

Author: Kim Dolan Leto

Publisher: Salem Books

Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Health, Fitness

Source: Own

My Review:

I bought Fit God's Way: Your Bible-Based Guide to Food, Fitness, & Wholeness on a whim this past summer. I was in Baker Bookhouse browsing, saw the book, and grabbed it and I am so glad I did!

{Insta} Connection

Title: {Insta} Connection

Series: The Insta series #2

Author: Jen Atkinson

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: Romcom, Contemporary Romance, Sports Romance

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

Can I just tell you how dumb I feel for not quite making an *obvious* connection? I realized that while Insta can mean an instant connection (or in the first book boyfriend) but it is most likely because Instagram plays a big part in the stories! It is so well done, but it took my brain a while to make the connection 😂😂😂.

Stacking the Shelves #138, Sunday Post #135, Sunday Salon #129

Hey bookish friends! How are you doing? I am sick again, some type of virus, but thankfully negative for pneumonia, flu, and Covid. So, I don't have any solid plans for the weekend, just to rest and recover. I did go through all those cookbooks last weekend, three were extremely helpful for me, so I bought them, LOL! The rest went back to the library.

Sanctuary Buried

Title: Sanctuary Buried

Series: WITSEC Town #2

Author: Lisa Phillips

Publisher: Lisa Phillips

Genre: Christian Fiction, Suspense, Contemporary Romance

Source: Library

My Review:

Sanctuary Buried is the second book in the series and I highly recommend reading the books in order. The first book sets up the WITSEC town, and Sanctuary Buried builds on book one (Sanctuary Lost).

Be Concerned

Title: Be Concerned: Making a Difference in Your Lifetime

Series: The "Be" Commentary

Author: Warren Wiersbe

Publisher: David C. Cook

Genre: Nonfiction, Christian Living, Commentary

Source: Own

My Review:

My go-to commentaries are the "Be" series by Warren Wiersbe. I have had Be Concerned for years but had never read it. It focuses on the Minor Prophets: Amos, Obadiah, Micah, and Zephaniah.
