Happy Friday, my bookish friends!
Any
plans for the weekend? I had a superficial keratectomy yesterday evening, so I am recovering, not sure what I will be able to do. Please be patient with me if it takes a while to visit your blog, not sure how my eye sight will be.
Welcome

My review:
Beach Haven is my first book by T. I. Lowe. I started listening to the audio, but after the eighth chapter I switched to reading the book.
I had a hard time getting into this book. I felt like it dragged. I don't know if it's because I started on audio or what, but there was a disconnect for me.
Spunky, well-written characters, a solid story line, and a beautiful setting are what kept me reading. I just don't know what else to say 🤷
I will read other books by this author as I have heard fantastic things about her books.
★★★/5

Synopsis:
Free-spirited Opal
Gilbert seems to have everything she needs to keep living a happy life
in Sunset Cove as she refurbishes vintage furniture to sell at her funky
ocean-side boutique, Bless This Mess. Until Lincoln Cole, a new-to-town
ex-Marine nursing deep wounds and harboring hurts he can't seem to
shake, wanders into her shop. Opal knows a person in need when she sees
one and offers Lincoln a job in her workshop. But the brooding former
soldier has no interest in Opal's offer. Thanks but no thanks.
But
then a hurricane strikes, damaging Bless This Mess. Feeling guilty for
how he treated Opal, Lincoln decides to help her repair the store. And
soon it becomes clear Opal wants to restore not only her business, but
also help Lincoln find restoration. As much as Lincoln tries to keep her
at arm's length, Opal's well-meaning meddling begins to heal his wounds
. . . and capture his heart almost before he realizes it.
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 Love and the Dream Come True by Tammy L. Gray. It is the third book in the State of Grace series and it released August 2, 2022 (which I missed until I looked it up 😂).
Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Hilarious Book Titles. I am off to my Goodreads list to see what I can come up with. I think this is topic is going to be subjective and I am not finding much (anything) that is truly hilarious. 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.
Book titles I think are funny:
