Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Love/Valentine's Freebie. At the beginning of the month I compiled a list of books I thought I might want to read for Valentine's Day, so I think I will share ten of those here. February, to me, is mostly for lighter reads. 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.

Love in Plain Sight

Series: An Amish Mail-Order Bride #3
Author: Kathleen Fuller
Source: Library
My Review:
This is the third book in the Amish Mail-order Bride series by Kathleen Fuller. I would recommend reading the first two books before reading this one. While the first two books focus on different characters, there are some from both books that are also in this one, plus an overarching story that carries through all three books. It will make it easier to understand and follow all the relationships. It had been four years since I read the second book, and I wish I had read them closer together so I could remember everything a bit better.

Edenbrooke

Series: Edenbrooke #1
Author: Julianne Donaldson

My Review:
I have a confession to make. This book has been on my "want to read" list for years. After checking it out of the library multiple times, including on Hoopla, and never reading it, I decided I didn't want to read it. Then, I decided to give it one more try. You all, I almost missed a fabulous book because of some weird mood I had previously been in!!
