Top Ten Tuesday-Unforgettable books to read again

 Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books I’d Like to Re-read (Share either your favorite books that you enjoy re-reading or books that you’d like to read again!) (Submitted by Becky @ Becky’s Book Blog) I am not a huge rereader, but I am finding more and more books that I do want to re-read, so maybe it is growing on me. In order for me to want to read a book again, it has to make an impression, a book that is unforgettable. So, this is a list of unforgettable books that I would love to read again. 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.

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.
