Stacking the Shelves #16, Sunday Post #13, Sunday Salon #8

Hey bookish friends! I hope you are having a fabulous weekend. Today I am in Ohio visiting my daughter at college. It is cooooold and there is a little snow on my car! We are going to do a few things together, and while she is doing homework/sleeping I am going to read and blog. Tomorrow she has a concert tour and I am looking forward to watching her choir perform and seeing her sing a solo 😀 Monday I will head back home. What are your plans for the weekend?

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! Any plans for the weekend? Today I am traveling to Ohio to see my daughter for the weekend. I have three audio books lined up to get me there and back!

Can't Wait Wednesday-The Souls of Lost Lake

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing The Souls of Lost Lake by Jaime Jo Wright. It is set to be released on April 5, 2022. I have loved all the books I have read of hers (and I have a nice back list to catch up on 😀), so I have high expectations for this one as well!

Top Ten Tuesday-Books with Adjectives in the Title

 Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is books with adjectives in the title. I went to my Goodreads list and started with those that have been on there the longest and picked them. However, looking at my list I should probably be bothered by how often "dead" was used 😂  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.

11 books on my yet to be read, gonna read them someday list, that have adjectives in the title:

To Marry An Earl

Title: To Marry an Earl

Author: Karen Thornell

Publisher: Covenant Communications

Genre: Historical Fiction, Regency,

Source: Own

My review:

To Marry an Earl is a debut novel by Karen Thornell (published in 2021). For so long, I have said I don't like historical fiction, but I am finding that I enjoy Regency novels and historical fiction with hints of humor. To Marry an Earl falls into both of those categories.
