All's Well that Friends Well

Title: All's Well That Friends Well

Series: Lucky in Love #2

Author: Gracie Ruth Mitchell     

Narrators: Ellen Quay & Eric Fox

Publisher: Independently Published, Audible Audio

Genre: Contemporary Romance, RomCom

Source: Net Galley

My Review:

All's Well that Friends Well is the second book in the Lucky in Love series. This series is about a sibling group, and while I will always recommend reading them in order, this one could be read as a standalone. The first book is about Indie, and this one is about Juliette, and they have two other siblings, Aurora and Silas.

Top Ten Tuesday-No book slump here

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic isBooks Guaranteed to Put an End to Your Book Slump (Which books would you recommend to someone (it’s me, I’m someone) dealing with the dreaded book slump? No book is grabbing their attention or making them excited to sit down and read and they are suffering for it.) I can't guarantee that these books would get everyone out of a book slump, but these are books that would get me out of a book slump. I was originally going to just go with romcoms, but I decided to be a bit more versatile. The thing they all have in common: the stories stuck with me. 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.

North and South

Publisher: Penguin Books

Genre: Classic, Historical Fiction, Victorian era, romance

Source: Kindle Own

My Review:

I finally did it! I finally read North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell!! Did I love it? No. Did I hate it? No. It had an interesting storyline that kept me invested. I did, at times, feel the length of the novel and felt it could have been shorter, LOL!

The Message Women’s Devotional Bible

Author: Eugene Peterson

Publisher: Nav Press

Genre: Bible, Christian Nonfiction

Source: Front Gate Media

My Review:

I love Bibles, and today, I am talking about The Message Women's Devotional Bible. The Message is one of the paraphrased versions of the Bible, it comes across as more blunt than some other versions.

Stacking the Shelves #180 Sunday Post #177 Sunday Salon #171

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? I did a lot of relaxing last weekend, and walking (almost 6 miles), so I did not get any packing done, oops. But, I did get some done on Tuesday. On Wednesday the contract on our house fell through, so it is back on the market again. We had two showings last night (Friday), and we will see what the weekend brings. While our house was being shown my husband and I went to Barnes and Noble 😁. On my agenda this weekend is some packing, my daughter is coming home to spend the night this afternoon, and will leave first thing tomorrow, more relaxing, hopefully some walking...

My Review:

A Wedding Date in Hot Springs, Arkansas is the first book I have read by Annalisa Daughety, but it will not be the last. It is a standalone novel.
