Stacking the Shelves #178 Sunday Post #175 Sunday Salon #169

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Last Sunday, I did as little as I could. Which meant I mainly sat on my couch and caught up on blogging, I was so tired!  It was a busy/hard week. I am having another health issue, which will hopefully resolve soon. Monday was paddle boarding again, and it was so chilly, and I fell in the water, so I was cold the last hour of the lesson. Thursday night was book club. We discussed Untangle Your Emotions by Jennie Allen. We had a good time discussing the book, chatting, and laughing. This weekend is going to be cleaning, blogging, relaxing. No definite plans and hopefully none pop up, we need some downtime.

Top Ten Tuesday-Cindy's World

 Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic isBooks Set in/Take Place During X (Pick a place, time, era, etc. Examples: Books set in Europe/Italy/Australia/Chicago, books set in Regency England, books that take place during the 1900s, books set in imaginary worlds/post-apocalyptic/dystopian worlds, books set on the ocean, books set it castles, books that take place during WW2, etc.) I am struggling! I can't think of anything that will get me to 10 books...so we are going into my world, where I list the last 10 books I gave 5-stars to!  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.

Author: Jennie Allen

My Review:

Untangle Your Emotions by Jennie Allen, is one of those books that need to be owned. I started reading a library copy, but a few pages in, realized it was one I needed to be able to highlight in.

Stacking the Shelves #177 Sunday Post #174 Sunday Salon #168

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Last Sunday, I did as little as I could. Which meant I mainly sat on my couch and caught up on blogging, I was so tired! This week has been a blur of cleaning, house showings, working, a paddleboarding class (2-hours) Monday night, and helping my daughter pack for her move. We are helping her move to Columbus today, and tomorrow my plan is to do nothing! Here is to the start of year 47, happy birthday to me. Also, our house is under contract (again), but they have to sell their house before we can close. Their house goes on the market Friday, pray all goes smoothly and this contract doesn't fall through.

The Art of Falling in Love with Your Enemy is the second book in the Sweetkiss Creek series, but can easily stand-alone.
