Stacking the Shelves #143, Sunday Post #140, Sunday Salon #134

Hey bookish friends! It was a little bit of a lighter week, we didn't have classes on Thursday because of Halloween and that is our busiest day. My husband and I decided to go on another hike this morning and it was great. I was feeling a primitive trail this morning, and with yesterday's workout and the trail, I will be feeling it all weekend 😂. But, I don't mind because it means I did something. Tomorrow will be church and a whole lot of relaxing. Are you doing anything fun this weekend?

A Guardian Till Christmas review

 

Welcome to the Blog Tour for A Guardian Till Christmas by Danielle Thorne, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: A Guardian Till Christmas
Author: Danielle Thorne
Publisher: Love Inspired
Release Date: October 22, 2024
Genre: Inspirational Romance

My review:

Kylee is used to being in full control, until her sister and brother-in-law unexpectedly pass away leaving her in charge of their four-year-old twins. Kylee is determined to care for them by herself despite Evan's willingness to help.

I am all about being independent, but her stubbornness was very frustrating. It made her an unlikable character.

Dragonfly Ashes picks up where Firefly Diaries (book 1) ends, and continues with Noelle, Dereck, and Skylar's story. For this reason, I think it is best to read Firefly Diaries before reading this one.

Top Ten Tuesday-Let's go hiking!

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is a Halloween Freebie. Saturday I went hiking with my husband and yesterday (Monday) I went hiking with my son. I thought it would be fun to do a post on books that have hiking in them. The problem is my memory! I know I read two books recently that had hiking in it and I only remember one of them. I also know there was one book in one of my favorite series, but of course I can't remember which book, LOL! So, what you are actually going to get are books that either have hiking in them, or are set in National parks so might have hiking in them 😂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 books that might encourage you to go hiking:

My Review:

While Write for You is the fifth book in the City Love series, it can easily stand alone. I have not read any other books in the series and don't feel that I missed anything.
