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.

Top 10 Tuesday — Unread TBR

23 Apr

This week’s TTT topic opens huge cans of worms for me. I have so many unread books in physical form, ebook form, audiobook form, and ARCs on NetGalley. I am drowning in unread books. And I am completely unapologetic! There may come a day when I will have all the time in the world to read. That’s when the TBR will be whittled down. In the meantime, I accumulate books willy-nilly. 😉 This week I am listing the last 10 books added to my NetGalley shelf. At least I know they haven’t been languishing too long. I hope you find one to pique your interest.

Top 10 Tuesday — Bookish Inns

Happy Tuesday! Today I am again tweaking the TTT prompt. Surprise, surprise! 😉 Instead of listing characters I would like to vacation with, I am spotlighting real life and fictional inns featured in books. While some of the places I’ve traveled to in my reading leave a bit to be desired as destinations (ghosts, disappearances, murders), I have enjoyed my vicarious stays. There are a variety of genres, so you should be able to find a book that sparks your interest.

Top 10 Tuesday — To Read Or Not To Read

12 Mar

Happy Tuesday! I have to say I was not feeling this week’s topic. I don’t often re-read a book, and I can’t say I ever considered that I wouldn’t like a book I loved if I read it again. Oh well, that’s what twisting a topic is for. 😉 I do have A LOT of books on my shelves that I have not read. Will I like them as much as I anticipated when I acquired them? You tell me!

Today’s list features 10 yet to be read books on my shelf in a variety of genres. If you have read them, please let me know why I should read them NOW! Note: while creating this post I discovered that 5 of the books are available with my subscription to Audible! Yippee! Of course I downloaded them. They are noted with an asterisk.

Mini-Book Review — The Sweet Life

29 Nov

I am a big fan of Suzanne Woods Fisher. Whether its an Amish romance or women’s fiction, her books are always entertaining. I like her style — fresh, light, and filled with nuggets of wisdom. The Sweet Life, book 1 in the Cape Cod Creamery series, was a fun read. The setting was picture-perfect, and this book added to my bucket-list of places to explore. The mother/daughter duo of Dawn and Marnie acted realistically and sure were relatable as they navigated new starts and letting go of plans and expectations.

If you are looking for a quick getaway read, consider The Sweet Life. Also, make sure you have your own stash of ice cream nearby. You will be craving it way before the book is finished! 😉

Recommended.

Audience: Adults.

(Thanks to the publisher for providing a complimentary copy. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)

Dawn Dixon can hardly believe she’s on a groomless honeymoon on beautiful Cape Cod . . . with her mother. Sure, Marnie Dixon is good company, but Dawn was supposed to be here with Kevin, the love of her life (or so she thought).

Marnie Dixon needs some time away from the absolute realness of life as much as her jilted daughter does, and she’s not about to let her only child suffer alone–even if Marnie herself had been doing precisely that for the past month.

Given the circumstances, maybe it was inevitable that Marnie would do something as rash as buy a run-down ice-cream shop in the town’s tightly regulated historic district. After all, everything’s better with ice cream.

Her exasperated daughter knows that she’s the one who will have to clean up this mess. Even when her mother’s impulsive real estate purchase brings Kevin back into her life, Dawn doesn’t get her hopes up. Everyone knows that broken romances stay broken . . . don’t they?

Welcome to a summer of sweet surprises on Cape Cod–a place where dreams just might come true.

Suzanne Woods Fisher loves stories worth telling about people worth remembering. With over a million copies of her book sold worldwide, this bestselling, award-winning author of more than 30 books is always on the lookout for the unsung hero with an untold story.

Top 10 Tuesday — Weather!

17 Oct

Happy Tuesday! My husband and I have a beef with weather TV — it all has to be so dramatic! Over the weekend one cable weather channel titled the falling temps across our area as October Gloom. LOL. The forecast for today is sunny and a high of 69 degrees. If that’s gloom, I’ll take it. 🙂 Today’s TTT topic could take a dramatic turn as well, and some of the titles I’m sharing do sound ominous. But I wanted to have books that run the spectrum of weather events, so there are a few pleasant weather days too. I hope you find a book to love.

Top Ten Tuesday — Throwing It Way Back(list)

1 Aug

Happy Tuesday! Today’s TTT topic is Backlist Love. So what’s a backlist? Older books still in print are considered part of an author’s backlist. I thought about going way back and listing the author’s debut novels (and some of those on the list are), but some authors wrote for the general market back in the day or the books are no longer available (unless you want to pay an Amazon seller several hundred dollars 😉 ). I’ve listed books that I still need to read from the backlists of favorite authors. In some cases, it’s the only book I haven’t read by an author! There are lots of genres to pick from — hope you find one to love too!

For more amazing backlist suggestions, check out That Artsy Reader Girl.
