Happy Tuesday! I have a tiny library in our cottage in the woods that holds books we love, artwork from my daughter, and family treasures. I have managed to fill most of the shelves, but I have some space that I am saving for books that we have loved that have been published with beautiful covers. I have been looking at them for some time, but have yet to hit the purchase button. Aren’t they beautiful?
Happy June! While summer has not officially commenced, here in the Sunny South it is definitely in full force! Today’s TTT challenge is a Summer Freebie. I am listing books with Summer in the title — I can’t believe I haven’t done this before. I have read most of the books on the list, but there are a few that are still on the TBR wishlist. Hope you find one to love.
Happy Tuesday! Today’s TTT topic is animal companions. I decided to feature books that have an animal on the cover. While some of the animals featured are companions, others are not, but do play a role in the story. I hope you find some new-to-you books to check out.
Happy Tuesday! Today’s TTT prompt is books featuring travel. Having done that a few times before, I have changed the topic up a bit and am listing books I have read for my upcoming trip to Maine. I love to read novels that are set in travel destinations. Do you ever do that? My list consists of the books I have read in the past couple of months plus some others I have read over the years. There’s a variety of genres too. I hope you find one to inspire you!
Happy Tuesday! Today in TTT bloggers are talking about the changes their blogs have undergone since they began. Can you believe I have been blogging for 15 years?! I missed this milestone anniversary last November; I probably need to do something about that. 😉 My blog has changed in a lot of ways, but in basics it has stayed the same.

Changes in My Blogging/Reading
I still review mostly CF and clean fiction. Nowadays I rarely review non-fiction.
I have cut way back on the number of books I review. I started blogging when my kids were at home, I was working part time, and my husband was working full time. Now we are empty nesters, I’m retired, and my husband is semi-retired. More time means less time for the blog.
I am reading less too. It seems weird that having more free time translates to less reading, but in my case it does, since I have more opportunity for other pursuits.
I am reading what I like. In the early years of blogging I took any and all books publishers were willing to send me. Now I am more choosy.
I read almost exclusively on my Kindle. It’s easy and portable. I never thought this would happen, but it also allows me access to more books, especially through NetGalley.
While I have contemplated phasing out my blog, I am still really attached to the book blog community. I love engaging with other readers and reviewers from all over the world. Who knows how long my blog will go on . . .
Because I can’t stand not referencing books in the TTT posts, here are a few books I have read recently. I am still an eclectic reader! I love reading my go-to authors books and discovering new authors.
Happy Tuesday! This week TTT bloggers are spotlighting authors that live in their states. Georgia has a lot of great authors! The book festival that is held in my hometown has been blessed to host some wonderful Peach State authors. Choosing only 10 was challenging, so I expanded to a dozen. I think I’ll have to do a part 2 at a later date in order to feature all the great authors who live in Georgia. My list consists of author who write adult fiction in a variety of genres — I hope you find one to love!
Happy Tuesday! Today’s TTT prompt is a title with the word ___ in it. I decided to go with not just a single word, but with a word group — prepositions! To make it even more fun, I wanted the titles to start with a preposition. It wasn’t as hard as thought it would be to come up with 10, so I stopped myself at a dozen! The books cover a variety of genres, so there should be something for you to love.
Happy Tuesday! It is no secret that I read A LOT of mystery/suspense. That being said, there’s not much that surprises me. I almost always guess whodunit. However, there are some authors that have kept me guessing up to the end — the best possible scenario I can think of. So today, I am sharing the books that are full of twists and turns you won’t see coming. I hope you find a book to love.
Happy Tuesday! Spring has definitely sprung around my house. The azaleas are in full bloom now and the dogwoods are showing off. Our blueberry bushes are full of blossoms and seem to have escaped any late frosts! Yay! Along with the beauty outside my windows, I’ve got some book beauties on the shelf. Today’s TTT topic is Spring-yBook Covers. The covers are lightening my mood and adding some really pretty granny squares to my 2025 book blanket project. Find new releases and oldies — I have a bountiful mix on my shelves — below.
Happy Tuesday! Since it’s April Fool’s Day, this week’s TTT topic is you’d be a fool not to read these books. My list contains books I have read this year that I highly recommend you read. As always there’s a variety of genres so you can easily find your next favorite book. Enjoy!
