Top Ten Tuesday-Let's Party!

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is atmospheric books. I regret that I am not feeling that topic at all, too much brain power that I don't currently have. So, tomorrow is my daughter's 21st birthday, so I am going to go with party themed covers/titles. 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. 

Ten-ish books that represent party/sweets: 

 

The Legacy of Longdale Manor

My Review:

The Legacy of Londgale Manor is the first book I have read by Carrie Turansky. The author stated on Goodreads that this is her first dual-time book. I found it well-written and would not have known it was the first time the author had written a dual-time novel.

Stacking the Shelves #92, Sunday Post #89, Sunday Salon #83

Hey bookish friends! How are you all doing? Any plans for the weekend? My son has been cleared to go back to work half-days next week, and we are thrilled! He is still recovering from his surgery, but hopefully he won't have any pain or anything. I am sick with some kind of coughing crud, so I will be chilling this weekend.

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! I hope you all have a great day and weekend!

Lost and Found

Title: Lost and Found

Author: Suzanne Woods Fisher

Publisher: Revell

Genre: Amish Fiction, Christian Fiction, Contemporary Romance

My Review:

While Lost and Found is a stand-alone novel. It reads more as a continuation of Anything but Plain by Suzanne Woods Fisher.

Running to You Review

Title: Running to You
Series: The Wright Heroes of Maine #1
Author: Robin Patchen
Publisher: JDO Publishing
Release Date: October 10, 2023
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

My Review:

Running to You by Robin Patchen is the first book I have read by this author. The beginning of a series seemed like a great place to try a new author.

Tending Roses

Title: Tending Roses

Author: Lisa Wingate

Publisher: Berkley

Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Women's fiction, Romance

Source: Own

Challenges: 23 in '23 and Chantel's Read Your Bookshelf Challenge

My Review:

I found Tending Roses by Lisa Wingate hard to get into.

I'll Start Again Monday

Title: I'll Start Again Monday: Break the Cycle of Unhealthy Eating Habits with Lasting Spiritual Satisfaction

Author: Lysa Terkeurst

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Self-help, Christian Living

Source: Library

My Review:

 Lysa Terkeurst is a great Bible Teacher. I have read several of her books. I appreciate her writing style, putting Scripture first and then citing other examples to explain her point. I'll Start Again Monday is not a diet book, it is a journey.
