Series: Cherry Creek Mysteries #2

Author: C. C. Warrens

Expected Publication: November 2, 2024

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: Christian Fiction, Suspense,

My Review:

Dragonfly Ashes picks up where Firefly Diaries (book 1) ends, and continues with Noelle, Dereck, and Skylar's story. For this reason, I think it is best to read Firefly Diaries before reading this one.

Top Ten Tuesday-Let's go hiking!

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is a Halloween Freebie. Saturday I went hiking with my husband and yesterday (Monday) I went hiking with my son. I thought it would be fun to do a post on books that have hiking in them. The problem is my memory! I know I read two books recently that had hiking in it and I only remember one of them. I also know there was one book in one of my favorite series, but of course I can't remember which book, LOL! So, what you are actually going to get are books that either have hiking in them, or are set in National parks so might have hiking in them 😂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 books that might encourage you to go hiking:

Title: Write for You

Series: City Love #5

Author: Megan Byrd

Publisher: Ardenville Press

My Review:

While Write for You is the fifth book in the City Love series, it can easily stand alone. I have not read any other books in the series and don't feel that I missed anything.

Stacking the Shelves #142, Sunday Post #139, Sunday Salon #133

Hey bookish friends! I remember the days when I used to get this post typed up before Saturday, LOL! It is the middle of the day on Saturday and I am just now getting an opportunity to sit down and type this up. It was a long week with some hard things. However, it is the weekend and I am so thankful. My husband and I decided to go on a hike this morning and it was great just getting away from it all for a little bit. Later this afternoon we will celebrate my daughter's birthday (it was yesterday). Tomorrow will be church and a whole lot of relaxing. Are you doing anything fun this weekend?

My Review:

I happened upon ADHD is Awesome at the library and grabbed it on a whim. I don't have ADHD but my daughter does. I wanted to understand more about ADHD so I could support her better, and know how to communicate better with her.

The Color of Home

Title: The Color of Home

Author: Kit Tosello

Publisher: Revell

Genre: Christian Fiction, women's fiction, 

Source: Revell

My Review:

The Color of Home is Kit Tosello's debut novel. The cover and title represent the book well. I am struggling to put my thoughts into words, and my review will not capture all that is the essence of this story.
