My Top Ten Spring To Be Read List

Hi! Welcome to another edition of the Top Ten Tuesday link-up sponsored by that Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is our spring reading list. I actually finished a book, so I'm moving in the right direction. It felt so good to write a review.

Here's my "hopeful" spring reads.

                                                        

  

So, do we have any TBR books in common? I hope so! If not, I hope you found a few to add to our ever-growing to-be-read list.

I hope you're having a great beginning to spring and avoiding the beyond long TSA lines,

A romance in the skies from an award-winning author and flight attendant

After Claire Holloway's dream of becoming a ballerina plummets, she's left with her boyfriend as her only support . . . until she decides to become a flight attendant for the free travel. Based out of state, she moves into a crash pad with a gaggle of other flight attendants, and her fear of losing Wyatt seems to become a reality.

First Officer Nathan Stuart—a bit cynical since he and his fiancée broke up—meets a somewhat frazzled Claire on her very first day in the Seattle airport. When they end up on the same crew, he takes her under his wing, and they quickly bond.

When Claire's once-supportive boyfriend's attitude sours into resentment, she's left wondering whether her newfound joy is the right way to go. Pulled between two men and her new career, Claire must learn to listen for God's direction the same way her flight crew follows air traffic control.

In this hilarious rom-com, readers will lift off into the turbulent skies of romantic adventures as Claire navigates God's plan for her life.

My Thoughts:

Ms. Strong has a high-flying winner here. While this is a rom-com, it is also one of self-discovery for both the character and the author. Claire doesn't know who she is outside of being a ballerina, and Ms. Strong doesn't know who she is without having children to care for. I loved that Angela wrapped that together because that happens to a lot of moms. 

My favorite part was when Claire and Nathan were in Colorado Springs and went to the Garden of the Gods. That scene brought back childhood memories, as I lived in Colorado Springs for two years when I was a pre-teen.

Ms. Strong knows what she is to do. She's supposed to write books that make us laugh.

One of the quotes that is my favorite is this:

"Nathan is easy to be with. He challenges me to do better while accepting me for who I am.

This is a must-read! If it's not on your spring TBR then add it!!

Top Ten Tuesday and Rom-Com's

 

Happy Tuesday, and welcome to another edition of Top Ten Tuesday, sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today's theme is building a top ten around a genre. I almost didn't do this because I couldn't think of a genre, then I thought about one of my favorites, ROM-COM's. 

I just want to be able to read again without my eye hurting. I never thought when I went to the Opthamalogist in December, I'd still be dealing with this in March. Oh, and face the possibility of actually having an injection in my eye.

Enough about me, how are you guys doing? Surviving the snow, or spring like weather? I hope you're doing great wherever you are and enjoying lots of books!! 

                                     

I couldn't stop at ten. There were so many coming to mind, I just had to add them!! Don't these look fun? I haven't read all of them, but having read the author's previous books I know they are wonderful. Which ones do you have on your TBR? I hope you found one or two to add to your list.
