Nonfiction November-My Year in Nonfiction 2025

This is my first year participating in Nonfiction November. I don't know if I will do all the weeks, but I am doing this week and will decide on a week-to-week basis.

Stacking the Shelves #191 Sunday Post #188 Sunday Salon #182

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Mine was long. More work and appointments this week. I ended up going to bed early every night, I am just completely wiped out. I am SO thankful it is the weekend!! I am not sure what we are doing, and that is okay. I will take it as it comes. I am hoping that time change doesn't mess us up too badly, LOL!

October Reading Wrap Up 2025

What month are we wrapping up? With being sick at the beginning of the month, I got to read more books this month, and had quite a few 5-star reads. I read 20 books and had 1 DNF and one two star read (which I don't talk about on here). Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

Top Ten Tuesday-It's all about the mistletoe

 Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Halloween Freebie. I am not doing anything for Halloween (except working), and don't read books that would fall under the Halloween vibe, so I am going a different route. It's all about the mistletoe. I have quite a few books on my TBR with Mistletoe in it, so I thought I would go that direction! 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 Wild Card

Title: The Wild Card

Series: Love Stories in Sheet Cake, Texas #3

Author: Emma St. Clair

Publisher: Emma St. Clair

Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance

Source: Author Provided

My Review:

While The Wild Card could read as a standalone novel, I HIGHLY recommend reading The Buy-In, The Bluff, and The Pocket Pair first. I love this series, and it is one you will want to start at the beginning. I reread the entire series before starting this one, and I am glad I did. There were things I had forgotten.
