Can't Wait Wednesday-A Gem of Truth

 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 A Gem of Truth. It is the second book in the Secrets of the Canyon series. It comes out September 13, 2022. I enjoyed the first book, A Deep Divide and look forward to reading more about the Harvey Girls and being back at the Grand Canyon!

Top Ten Tuesday- Just Say No to challenges

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is School Freebie. Since this is my first year in 12 years not homeschooling I don't really want to think about school stuff 😉 so I am going to go a different route. Instead I am going to list 10 reasons why I will most likely not be doing reading challenges next year, with few exceptions.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 Reasons for me NOT to do reading challenges next year:

Stacking the Shelves #38, Sunday Post #35, Sunday Salon #29

Hey bookish friends! How are things going for you? I am exhausted, we traveled to Ohio on Thursday, what should have taken 8ish hours took 11, moved my daughter back into her dorm on Friday, and we are back in the car, traveling the 8ish hours back to NC.

First Line Friday #61-Cross the Line

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! Any plans for the weekend? I am in Ohio moving my daughter back to college 😢 and will be spending all day tomorrow driving back home.

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 Cross the Line by C.C. Warrens. It's the fourth book in the Holly series. I LOVED the first three books, they are FABULOUS, more suspense/thriller, little to no romance, and I am enjoying this one!!!

Can't Wait Wednesday-To Win a Prince

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 To Win a Prince by Toni Shiloh. It comes out September 13, 2022. I loved the first book, In Search of a Prince more than I thought I would, so I can't wait to see what happens in this one 😀.
