Top 10 Tuesday — Un-Reviewed

18 Feb

Happy Tuesday! This week bloggers are asked to fess up about unreviewed books. It is rare for me not to review a book I have read, and there is generally a really good reason to not mention them publicly. I’ll just leave that there. 😉 So what to post about then? Today’s list features books that will be read/reviewed in the next few weeks and months, so it technically fits the theme. Let me know if you have read them and what you think.

For more great book lists, please visit That Artsy Reader Girl.

It’s an eclectic list, for sure. I hope you find one to whet your interest.

Have you added a lot of books to your TBR so far this year? My answer is, of course! While I have a seemingly unending reading list, I never shy away from adding just one, or two, or more books. Today TTT tasked bloggers with revealing the latest books that they have added to their shelves. I have focused specifically on my NetGalley shelf, since many of the books have not yet released. I hope my list piques your interest.

TTT — 2025 Bookish Goals

14 Jan

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today the bloggers of TTT are sharing their goals for 2025. My husband retires in 4 days, so any reading goals I may have entertained will be replaced by assisting in the projects he has planned for the coming months, upcoming trips, and general hanging out time. He will start doing a little relief work (he’s a veterinarian) in March, but only a few days on selected weeks. That will be the time I slip in all day reading. 😉

But in the meantime I do have a few bookish goals, though nothing taxing or restricting. I plan on, again, reading what I want to read, scaling back book tour obligations, resting up from the Book Festival I have been working on for the past year, and a new activity — crocheting a book blanket as a reminder of all the fabulous books I will read in 2025.

Here are some pictures of granny squares and books so far in 2025. They will be joined together to form an eclectic (like my reading choices) reminder of the year’s reading.

What are some of your bookish goals?

TTT– Most Anticipated Books of The First 1/3 of 2025

7 Jan

Happy New Year! With a new year comes new books. Yay! Actually new books release all the time, but it’s still good to celebrate whenever they arrive. This week’s TTT is most anticipated books of the first half of 2025. It really was hard to whittle the list down, so I just went with the first 1/3 of the year instead of half. 😉

Do you have any books that you are REALLY looking forward to?

Top 10 Tuesday — Books I’d Like from Santa

24 Dec

Happy Christmas Eve! While there is really zero shopping time left, Santa’s magic could still bring you your bookish wishes under the tree tomorrow morning. And when I say Santa’s magic, I mean the incredible digital books and gift cards that can be delivered instantly. 😉 Santa (and my family) rarely grant my book wishes. It’s not because they don’t care about me, it’s because they honestly think I have all the books I need! I have been unsuccessful in changing their minds. LOL! They have, on occasion, given me Amazon gift cards, so that’s kind of the same. And my husband has been giving me Kindles since the first one was available — he feeds my addiction nicely.

Today, TTT has tasked us with listing books on our Christmas wishlists. The books I am featuring are new for the upcoming year, so those gift cards can really come in handy for pre-orders.

What books are you looking for under the tree?

Top 10 Tuesday — Stormy Books

10 Dec

Happy Tuesday! Today’s TTT topic is books to read in a storm. Because I live in the mostly sunny South, most of our storms do not include time to snuggle in and read. 😉 Hurricanes and tornadoes are the storms we face most often. I have only experienced two snowstorms in my life, each with a great deal of record setting snowfall. Those were times when a good book was definitely called for. So my list today features books in which a storm plays a part in the storyline. Interestingly, many are hurricanes. I guess I can’t get away from my roots! And for a fun twist, one of the authors name is Storm! I hope you find one to love.
