Hey bookish friends! How are things going for you? We are on vacation and will be traveling for the next 9 days. We are starting in Indianapolis for a quick visit with some of my family. Then we will go to Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. We are excited, we haven't been to these three states before. Have a wonderful weekend!

My review:

Sunburst is the second book in the Sky King Ranch series. I HIGHLY recommend reading the first book, Sunrise, before diving into this one.

First Line Friday #54- The Buy-In

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! Any plans for the weekend? We are going on vacation 😁 We will drive 10 hours today to Indianapolis, spend the night and visit with family in the morning. Then we will head to Illinois, driving some of Route 66 and stopping by the Route 66 Museum. Sunday we will start a trek to Wisconsin where we will spend the next week exploring (going into Minnesota a bit too), until a wedding next Saturday, then spend Sunday and Monday driving home. I'm excited and exhausted just thinking about it, #introvertproblems.

Welcome back to First Line Friday 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. To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and leave a comment with the first line (or your link). This week I am reading The Buy-In by Emma St. Clair. I have already read this book and am re-reading it because the second book, The Bluff has just been released. I am NOT usually a re-reader but I am super excited about the second book, so re-reading the first one to savor the books longer 😂.

Elysium Tide

Title: Elysium Tide

Author: James R. Hanniba l

Genre: Thriller, Suspense, Contemporary Fiction

Publisher: Revell

My review:

I wouldn't exactly call the first lines gripping as Elysium Tide starts in the middle of a surgery, but I was fascinated (even though I am squeamish). I found Elysium Tide fast-paced, unpredictable, and hard to put down.

Can't Wait Wednesday-The Deadly Shallows

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 Deadly Shallows by Dani Pettrey. It is the third in the Coastal Guardian series and it is set to release July 2022.

Top Ten Tuesday-Authors who taught me to enjoy historical fiction

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is books I wish had an epilogue. While this is a great topic, it's not one that I think much about. Usually I am pretty satisfied with the endings. So instead, I am going to discuss historical fiction authors that I am trying to catch up on. I picked this topic because I always say I don't care much for historical fiction, but my reading shows otherwise 😂 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.
