Happy Friday!
Today I'm once again participating in six blog hops. You can click on the host links below to find the blogs of others who are participating in each blog hop. If you're a blogger, feel free to join through the host links.
Question: Is there a book you've been meaning to read forever, but haven't gotten to yet?
My response: I've been an avid reader for only about five years, but I can think of a lot of books I've been meaning to read and haven't yet. The Hannah Swensen series, by Joanne Fluke, got me hooked on cozies and on reading in general. I started reading the series in 2021, but then wanted to explore other cozies. I'm on book 18 and have been wanting to finish the series for a while now. I've got the next one on my TBR for later this year.
Today's excerpts are from the e-book format of Spell to Pay (Spellbooked Magical Cozy Mystery 2), by Elle Wren Burke.
"This is the book my soul needs?"
And here's an excerpt from 56%:
On my way back to the sales counter, I made an impulsive stop in the self-help section to check if we had more copies of the books Page had found for James.
Nope. For now, I'd have to think about being authentic and vulnerable all on my own. I shuddered.
You can see in the beginning, a question is being asked. The customer seems unsure of the book Page, the sentient bookshop, chose for him. In the excerpt from 56%, Kinley, who is the narrator, is talking. I wonder why she shuddered at the thought.
I'm about 60% done with this book. It's an ARC of a book that was just recently released. It was a short turnaround time, which is why wasn't able to finish it before the release date. I'm planning to finish it and post my review next week. Spoiler alert: I'm enjoying it!
Although I believe my girls were born in April, their birthday is noted as today, May 1st. They are now four years old. I can't believe how fast the years are flying by! These were the best I could get for their birthday pictures.
Dandelions are my favorite flower. I love seeing them on my walks.
The Hannah Swensen series sounds like such a fun series to get hooked on! I haven’t read it yet, but now I’m curious—especially if it pulled you into reading like that. And wow, book 18 is impressive! I can see why you’d want to circle back and finish it 😊 Happy Reading—and hop over to mine when you get a chance!
ReplyDeleteKat, I believe there are 30 (or almost 30) books in the series! :)
Delete"This is the book my soul needs" -- I feel that way quote often.
ReplyDeleteYes, except the customer is asking the question. It's the book the sentient bookshop recommended. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool read if it starts with this question. I’ve never thought of asking it before, but I will now.
ReplyDeleteI wish your sweet girls many happy returns of their birthday and thank them for linking up with Feline Friday.
Dandelions are fun, although most don’t seem to want them in their yards. They are packed with nutrients and great medicinal value.
Exactly! Dandelions are so beneficial to the environment! :)
