Top Ten Flowery Covers

 

Welcome to another edition of Top Ten Tuesday link-up sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl.  Today's theme is May Flowers, piggybacking off the April Showers post. I was going back and forth between flowery titles and flowery covers, and went with flowery covers.

My eye is healed, and I'm able to wear my contacts and read!!! It's been so nice.

These covers are so pretty. 

Have you read any of these, or have you heard of them? Let me know in the comments. 

I hope all of you, Moms, had a wonderful Mother's Day on Sunday. We took my mother-in-love out to lunch, and flowers to my mom; got to spend Sunday with my daughter, and my grands. It was a busy weekend, but full of lots of fun.

Top Ten Tuesday - Authors I Miss Reading

 

Happy Tuesday! Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday edition sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today's topic is basically the authors we miss. Whether they've passed on, retired from writing, or put it on the back burner for a while. Whatever the reason, these authors have made an imprint on our lives and we miss them. I'll link a favorite book to their name.

I will also have a blog update at the end.

Sandie (Sandra) D. Bricker. I never met this sweet lady face to face but I had the privilege of helping her with her street team when street teams first started being a thing. Love Finds You in Hollywood, Florida was the first book I read of Sandie's and I fell in love. She knew how to wrap romance, comedy, and the gift of salvation in her writing and touch so many readers. She lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer on October 28, 2022

Frank Peretti. Way before I became a reviewer my Sunday School Class read This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness and I've read all of his books since and have found out recently that he lives Coeur d'Alene here in Idahoand would love to find a way to meet him.

Deanne Gist. I haven't seen hide nor hair of Deanne in I don't know how long

The last book I read of Deanne Gist was Tiffany Girl, but my 

favorite book of hers is It Happened At the Fair.

Camy Tang. As a Navy brat and former Navy wife,

 I loved being around all the different races and ethnicities 

that we lived around in base housing, and Camy's books 

were likebeing immersed in the culture. 

Deadly Intent was the first book that I read of hers.

Diann Hunt. The only books I've read of Ms. Hunt's 

are those written with other authors. Which is the Smitten 

Book Club series. It is a hoot of a series, so if you 

haven't read themand are looking for a good beach read 

these are perfect. Secretly Smitten is probably my favorite.

Tracy L. Higley is a biblical fiction author and while

 I haven't seen much from her in a year or two I believe

 she's still writing. Garden of Madness which focused on the 

Babylonian captivity and Nebuchadnezzar has to be my favorite.

Julie Cantrell. I see her on social media but the last book

 I reviewed of hers was Perennials and I'd love another one!

Varina Denman. I see her on social media but I miss her books. 

My absolute favorite was Looking Glass Lies. It's a book 

every woman should read!

Rachel Dylan. While we don't agree on college football teams 

GA VS UF, we do agree on reading material though. I really 

loved her Capital Intrigue series and would love 

another book from her.

Blog Update:

Dear Authors, Readers, and Friends,

I wanted to update you about why my reviews, posts, 

and responses are lacking or less than what has been 

the norm since I began blogging back in 2007. In 2019 my

Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and after four years 

of trying to get my mom on board with moving into assisted living, 

which was their plan they purchased long-term

care insurance because they knew it was going to happen.

Finally, last summer my Mom agreed that it was time to move. 

Things were going fine for a while and in 

March of this year it was discovered that my younger sibling 

had been stealing money from them. 

During an Adult Protection Investigation,

I and my husband became both Guardians 

and Conservators for my parents. 

I have a nightmare-ish mess that I am in 

the process of cleaning up. So, if reviews 

are delayed, I don't participate in Top Ten Tuesday, 

First Line Friday, or respond to comments I promise 

I am not blowing anyone off. 

I'm literally trying to clean up a mess I didn't create.

Thank you for reading and I am so blessed 

and thankful for this blogging community.

 

Top Ten Tuesday April Showers Bring May Flowers

 

Happy Tuesday, and welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today's prompt is April showers bring May flowers. I went through my archives to find these beauties. I love daisies, carnations, and of course roses; but pink is my favorite color so if it's pink it's perfect.

We have lilacs, lilies, roses of Sharon, and daffodils in our yard. My husband is a master gardener and does an amazing job keeping everything alive and blooming. 

What's your favorite flower? 

Please let me know what your favorite flower is. With Mother's Day on Sunday, this is a perfect prompt. Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday. 

Top Ten Tuesday Featuring One Word Title Books

 

Happy Tuesday and welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday. Today's topic is one-word titles. Sorry, I missed last week. I fully intended to do it, but time just got away. I hope y'all are having a great summer and staying cool. I'm still recovering from all of the lung illnesses so sadly I've just been inside and haven't seen my grandkids in weeks and I miss them.

I hope you've found a new book or two to add to what I'm sure is a long and growing summer-to-read list. 

Have a great Tuesday!!

Top Ten Must Read Christmas Books

Happy Tuesday!! Today's Top Ten Tuesday is a freebie so I decided to give you a list of Christmas books you must read during this Christmas season. I have all of these but I've not read them all yet.

 

I hope you've found a Christmas book or two to add to your Christmas reading list. I'll be reviewing these as I finish them past that my blog will be pretty much inactive for the rest of the year. 

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!!

Top Ten Tuesday - One Word Titles

Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is one word titles. When I was first thinking about this topic I couldn't think of one book with a one word title let alone ten. Amazingly, I found ten!! I find it interesting that most of the one word title books are Young Adult. Just an observation. 😉😉😉

This book releases on July 21, 2020. I've read some of this book and you'll want to pre-order it!!! Just click the cover.

Now, it's your turn . . .  do you have any other one word titled books? Tell me in the comments!
