The Double Play

Title: The Double Play

Series: More Than A Game #4

Author Annah Conwell

Narrators: Charlotte North and Tim Paige

Publisher: Independently Published/Dreamscape Media

Genre: Contemporary Romance, RomCom

Source: Net Galley

My Review:

The Double Play by Annah Conwell is the fourth book in the More Than A Game series.It can be read as a standalone novel; however, I highly recommend reading the series in order to appreciate the story best. The main characters in this book are Emmett and Hazel. Emmett has been in the previous books, and I was looking forward to getting this grump's story, spoiler alert, it did not disappoint. Also, I enjoyed the narration by Charlotte North and Tim Paige.

Stacking the Shelves #175 Sunday Post #172 Sunday Salon #166

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? I started my new job this week, so I worked Monday and Thursday. My normal will be M/TH/and Friday, but with this week having been the 4th of July I was off. My daughter got the job she interviewed for in Columbus and will be moving there on July 19 (my birthday, Happy b-day, I will be moving her, LOL). We had a few house showings this week, which is good to see interest on our house. I spent some time this week researching the Columbus book Festival, and I am going to try and go next weekend.

Top Ten Tuesday-Recap of Anticipated releases early in 2025

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Freebie/Throwback (Come up with a topic you’d like to do or go back and do an old topic you missed or just want to do again!) With us doing our most anticipated releases for the last half of the year last week, quite a few of you revisted your 1st half list and said how you did. So, this week, I am looking back at what I anticipated from the first half of the year and seeing how many of them I read. 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 Tuesday-Did I read all of my anticipated reads from the first half of the year? Spoiler alert-no. But, you can click on the cover to see my review of the ones I did read, if you are interested.
