Top Ten Tuesday-2024 Releases I was excited about but...

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: 2024 Releases I Was Excited to Read but Still Haven’t Gotten To (will you be prioritizing these this year?) This should be interesting. I don't remember release years but Goodreads should be able to help a girl out. 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.   

2024 New Releases I OWN that I was excited to read and still haven't (in my defense, your honor, I got several of these in Nov/Dec):

Treasure Bookmaking

Title: Treasure Bookmaking: Crafting Handmade Sustainable Journals

Author: Natasa Marinkovic

Publisher: Mango

Genre: Crafts, Art, Nonfiction,

Source: Own

My Review:

I recently heard about junk journaling and was curious to learn more. When I was researching, Treasure Bookmaking popped up, and I knew I had to explore this book more.

January 2025 Reading Wrap-up

January moved at a nice pace. I was busy but I still felt like I had a lot of time to devote to reading.  I read 17 books in January and DNFed 3. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.

5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐    

 

Jocelyn

Title: Jocelyn: City Girls Don't Fall for Cowboys

Series: Sewing in SoCal #2

Author: Sarah Monzon

Publisher: Radiant Publishers

Genre: Romantic Comedy, Contemporary Romance, Christian Fiction, 

Source: Own

My Review:

Jocelyn is the second book in the Sewing in SoCal series by Sarah Monzon. While each book can be read as a stand-alone novel, I recommend reading them in order as the friends are in each book and you will get minor spoilers to the earlier books.

Stacking the Shelves #154, Sunday Post #151, Sunday Salon #145

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Mine was busy and long, with it raining all day Friday, it was just dreary. It didn't quite melt all the snow though. I am planning on the weekend being pretty chill, not doing much.

A Diary of Private Prayer

Title: A Diary of Private Prayer

Author: John Baillie

Publisher: Simon and Schuster

Genre: Nonfiction, Devotional Classic, Prayer, 

Source: Library

My Review:

I can see why John Baillie's A Diary of Private Prayer is a devotional classic. I want to say the book is simply a book of prayers, but there is nothing simple about them.

The Hunted Heir

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for The Hunted Heir by Jayna Breigh hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: The Hunted Heir
Author: Jayna Breigh
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: January 28, 2025
Genre: Romantic Legal Drama

My review:

The Hunted Heir is Jayna Breigh's debut novel, however, Breigh writes like a seasoned novelist.
