Stacking the Shelves #194 Sunday Post #191 Sunday Salon #185

Hey my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? It was another long week around here. We had a showing on Saturday, but on Sunday our house went fully off market, and by Wednesday all the hurdles had been tackled, so our house is officially sold with the closing date 12/16, and we have until 1/4/26 to leave our house. We have looked at 8 houses this week, and will look at several more today. Between all that I got a haircut, spent 2 hours in the gym, started packing, and worked three days. I am wiped out. I will not be quite as active on here over the next month as we pack up our house and try to find a new one. What are your plans for the weekend? Also, happy Thanksgiving week!

Faking Christmas

Title: Faking Christmas

Series: Christmas Escape #3

Author: Cindy Steel

Narrator: Justis Bolding

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: Christmas, RomCom, Contemporary Romance

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

Faking Christmas is technically a part of the Christmas Escape series, but each book stands alone. Overall, I enjoyed Justis Bolding's narration. I didn't like her voice for Chloe, Olive's sister, I felt like it was too manly.

I love Bibles, and today, I am excited to tell you about the NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bible.  I want to be clear that I am not reviewing the Bible; I am reviewing the features of this particular Bible.

Stacking the Shelves #193 Sunday Post #190 Sunday Salon #184

Hey my bookish friends!!  I can't believe we are already half way through November, can you?? How was your week? Mine was alright. Did you have snow at the beginning of the week? I was surprised by how much we got (pics below). The government opened back up, which we are very thankful for. We've heard nothing from the people who want to buy our house, so I assume theirs has not gone under contract yet. We have a showing this morning, but other than that, we don't have many plans for this weekend.

Christmas Baggage

Title: Christmas Baggage

Series: Christmas Escape

Author: Deborah M. Hathaway

Narrators: Jaren Cerf and Geraldo Cortez

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: Christmas, Romcom

My Review:

Christmas Baggage is part of the Christmas Escape series.  All the books are stand-alone, but are connected by having their stories set in London, England.
