Looking Back On RT Booklovers, and Thoughts On Other Book Conventions

Happy Monday Everyone :)

I'm not gonna lie, I find myself dragging a bit today. First off, it's still rainy and cold where I live in Saskatchewan, and I've literally been trying to take blog and bookstagram pics for over a week, but have honestly had no sun to do so. As such, I've had to keep delaying posts I had planned, and going with others instead. Secondly, I attended a really fun birthday party for one of my co worker's daughters last night, and it was a lot of fun, but I left completely exhausted as it went pretty late, but I'm so glad I had the opportunity to attend.

Thirdly, today is actually supposed to be my day off, but I have to conduct a three hour training session on a roll out of a new program at work, and so because of all this, this morning I'm kind of just taking it easy.

Since my original plans for blog posts fell through thanks to our dreary blustery weather, I thought it might be fun today to look back on last year's RT Booklovers convention, since this year's starts tomorrow.



I've been seeing so many posts all over Instagram and Twitter about Yallwest; which of course was this last weekend, RT Booklovers; which starts tomorrow; and BEA and Bookcon, which are coming up in the next few weeks.

Unfortunately, we will most likely not be attending any book conventions this year. The only one that might be plausible for us to attend is Yallfest in November, and I don't foresee this happening right now. I've definitely been suffering with a little bit of the green eyed monster every time I read about all the amazing things happening at this year's convention, and so to help myself with that I thought I would love to share some pics of the fabulous authors I got to meet at the RT convention last April.

While so many people strictly attend book conventions for the free books and swag (and yes that part is amazing)! for me the best part was definitely getting to meet so many of my favorite authors, and letting them know how much their books have meant to me.

I'd recommend this experience for anyone who's a fan of reading, as there's nothing that compares to getting to meet your fave authors in person.


I definitely can't wait to attend another book convention in the near future, and here's hoping we'll be able to attend one again in 2018!

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since. If you'd like to check out that review, you can do so using the link below: Bless Your Heart Rae Sutton Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review. De...

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Joy of Falling

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books. The Joy of Falling by Lindsay Harrel: About The Book: Eva and Angela must learn to live again. One step at a time. It has been fifteen months since Eva and Angela lost their thrill-seeking husbands in a scuba diving accident. Both women are trying to navigate their way through the grief, but neither one is making much progress. Angela is barely making ends meet, angry at her husband for leaving her to raise three children on her own. Meanwhile, Eva is stuck, unable to move forward after losing the love of her life and her source of inspiration. But then Eva gets a life-changing phone call. Befor...
