Hearts Aweigh

My Review:

The Shippers are back in Hearts Aweigh and are up to more matchmaking shenanigans. While this book can be read independently, I recommend reading Love Overboard first. This is where we are first introduced to the Shippers.

Top Ten Tuesday-Anticipated releases for second half of 2025

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the Second Half of 2025. Yay, thank you Jana, for an easy topic this week 😁. I keep a list on Goodreads for 2025 book releases, so this should be fairly easy. The hard part will be narrowing it down, (and I ended up adding more to my list, LOL). 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.

Stacking the Shelves #173 Sunday Post #170, Sunday Salon #164

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? I started Monday at the ER with my daughter, she has a kidney stone that she has been trying to pass all week. My book club met Thursday night, we had a new member, and despite not loving the book we were discussing, we had a great time. I was finally well enough to make it back to the gym Friday morning, and finally feel like I am back in the land of the living. I got hard news Friday afternoon and am still trying to process it. We are planning to see a few houses this weekend (still no luck on selling ours), go to Church, and hopefully go back to the beach lake we found last weekend.
