TTT-Stars, Stripes, and Hockey Nights

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Book Titles That Include the Word “[insert word of your choice here]” (Pick a word and share ten book titles that include that word!). I decided since those of us in America just celebrated Independence day, to highlight a series that celebrates this holiday. There are thirteen books in the series and they can each be read as a stand alone novel. I have not read any of the books yet, and several authors are new to me, but I believe they are all clean romances. 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.

Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend

Title:  Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend

My Review:

Once I got used to the male narrators voice, I really enjoyed this book. It's not that his narration was bad, just not what I was expecting. 

Targeted

My Review:

With all three books being novellas, there is not much you can say without spoilers. 

June Reading Wrap Up 2026

June was a blur. It was busy and I can't quite remember most of what I did, LOL.  I know I did some reading, so let's see how the month went. I finished 18 books, and I had one DNF. My reading is still less than normal for this time of the year. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

TTT-Most anticipated releases through October

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the Second Half of 2026 . I have been so focused on reading the books I own, or are already on my TBR, that I haven't been following new releases as closely as I normally would. So, here are the few that I am super excited about. 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.

My Review:

I was excited to finally get Rosalie and Zev's story. This is the fourth in the series, and I highly recommend reading the other books first.
