Stacking the Shelves #196 Sunday Post #193 Sunday Salon #187

Hey my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? Between working and appointments, we have been busy looking for a place to live, and packing up our house. The movers come on Friday!! Here is the housing update for those who want more details (spoiler alert, we do have a place to live). My son had his wisdom teeth pulled yesterday, and is doing alright. This weekend will mostly be packing, cleaning and running some errands. I also have a meeting with my functional medicine doctor, she cancelled on me yesterday. Odds are good I won't be posting next weekend, think of me as I moving/settling into a new house!! I can't wait for the whole process to be over and things to settle back into a normal routine (please, Lord, make it so). What are your plans for this weekend?

Christmas with a Crank

My Review:

I started listening to this book on Hoopla, but it was returned, and I couldn't check it out again. The narrators were fine. I ended up checking the book out from Kindle Unlimited to finish it.

Planning for Nickie

Title: Planning for Nickie

Author: Tasha Hackett

Publisher: Independently Published

My Review:

Planning for Nickie is the second in the Holidays in Hadley Springs series by Tasha Hackett. While it could be read as a stand-alone novel, I HIGHLY recommend reading Waiting for Gilbert first.

Top Ten Tuesday-Let it snow!

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books Set in Snowy Places (If snow isn’t your thing, pick another kind of place and share books set there!) I don't have the brain capacity to figure out where books are set and I thought about just doing books with snow on the cover, but instead I think I will go with my favorite Christmas books so far this year...and if they have snow on the cover=bonus! I have read/listened to 17 books and currently am reading one and listening to one, so I have a total of 19 to choose from. 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.  

Top Ten Tuesday- Favorite Christmas books of 2025 (so far!!)

Let in the Light

Title: Let in the Light: 50 Devotions to Confidently Know God is Good and Guiding Your Steps

Author: Proverbs 31 Ministries Team 

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Devotional

Source: Publisher provided

My Review:

When Let in the Light: 50 Devotions to Confidently Know God is Good and Guiding Your Steps came to my email as an opportunity to review it, I jumped on it. I love Proverbs 31 Ministries, and I knew if they put the book out, it would be good. Plus, in a world that often feels dark, who doesn't want more light?

Waiting for Gilbert

My Review:

I have finished this book for the second time and I loved it just as much as the first time I read it last year!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!

Original review below:

Waiting for Gilbert is the first book I have read by Tasha Hackett, but it will not be the last. I was in the middle of reading this book when I knew I would want to reread it. I am not a huge re-reader, but I want a physical copy for my keeper shelf!
