Stacking the Shelves #141, Sunday Post #138, Sunday Salon #132

Hey bookish friends! How are you doing? I am doing good. It was a busy week and I am ready for the weekend. I got my flu and Covid shots yesterday, which always make me tired and sore. I am going thrifting with my daughter and husband this morning, then I plan to read, sew, crochet, and blog for the rest of the weekend.

The Blue Castle

My Review:

The only books I have read by L.M. Montgomery are the Anne of Green Gables series. I enjoyed them as a child and have always wondered if I would enjoy them as an adult. I have had The Blue Castle on my shelf for a few years.

70 North

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for 70 North by Kimberley Woodhouse hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: 70 North
Series: Alaskan Cyber Hunters #3
Author: Kimberley Woodhouse
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: October 15, 2024

My Review:

70 North is the final book in the Alaskan Cyber Hunters series by Kimberley Woodhouse. While it could stand alone, reading this series in order is best, as the final mastermind is revealed, and you will miss some of the connections.

Top Ten Tuesday: Looking back at spring and summer

 Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books I Was Assigned to Read in School (These can be books you loved or hated. Or just tolerated. Bonus points if you give us a tiny review of your thoughts!) I have been out of school for a LONG time, including graduate school, so I am going to go a different direction today. I will revisit my spring and summer TBRs and see how I did. 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.
