Hey bookish friends! How are you all doing? Any plans for the long weekend? I am dog sitting, so I am going to a friend's house four times a day to take care of her dog. My daughter is here until tomorrow, she came home to teach her Friday night classes, and was able to stay. I hope to visit a new bookstore this weekend, and other than the dog sitting, relax.

First Line Friday #102-To Love A Prince

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! I hope you all have a great day and weekend! First Line Friday is hosted by Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!!  I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. This week I am reading To Love a Prince by Rachel Hauck. The beginning gives me The Princess Bride vibes and Adam Sandler's movie Bedtime Stories.

I am going with ten books from my physical TBR with water on 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. 

10 books I own with water on the cover that I still need to read:

 

Summer Reading Challenges Wrap-up

Normally I am late with these posts, but this time I am early, LOL. But, to be real, I know I am not going to read anymore big books before September 4th, and I won't get to anymore on my summer TBR. When I planned for these challenges I had NO idea I would lose my job and then spend 2ish months setting up my a small business. This REALLY cut down on my reading time. 

So, what did I read. For the 20 Books of Summer Challenge, here were my possibilities (the ones I read are linked to my reviews):

My Review:

The Love Script is the first in Toni Shiloh's newest series, Love in the Spotlight. This one is harder to review, as some scenes rubbed me the wrong way.
