#Fridayreads June 21st, 2019

Happy Friday Bookish Friends :)


I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend.


Unfortunately for me, today starts the busiest week and a half of the year, as the last part of June is always the busiest time of the year at the restaurant I work at.

As such, I'm not sure how much time I'll have for my blog during this time period, but I'm going to try my best to keep up with my regular three posts a week.

For today's post, I decided I wanted to do another #fridayreads post. It's been a very long time since I last did one of these, and today I found myself in the mood of wanting to do so.

This weekly meme was started by The Petite Book Blogger, and involves you sharing what books you're going to be reading over the weekend, whether or not you're enjoying them, and whether you plan to review them once you've finished them.

For this weekend, I have quite an ambitious reading list. This is mainly due to the fact that I have a quite a few books on the go. I most definitely will not be finishing all of these, but I hope to read at least a little bit in each one.




I know I just read this one a couple of months ago, but I loved it so much that I'm now currently listening to the audiobook. I try to always have an audiobook on the go, but it takes me quite awhile to finish them as I don't listen to them too too often. As well, I'm very particular with listening to audiobooks in the sense that I won't read a book for a first time this way. I only reread books that I've already read the physical book already. This particular book has been my favorite read of the year so far, and since I've already reviewed it on my blog I won't be reviewing it again. You can check out my original review here.



After reading (and loving!) Mandi Blake's debut novel last month, review here, I can't even tell you how excited I am to get to advance read the second book in her Unfailing Love series. I've only read the first little bit of this one so far, but it's already amazing, and I will most definitely be reviewing it when I finish it.



This is my current NetGalley read, and it's amazing! I'm only about a quarter of the way through it so far, but it's already keeping me on the edge of my seat, and I hope to find the time to finish this one in the next little while. This is another title that I will definitely be reviewing once I finish it.




I've been reading this one for about a week already, and that's a pretty long time for me. It's not even that long of a book, and I usually fly through reads a lot faster than that, but I'm having a hard time getting into this one. I'm not the biggest fan of the world building so far, and I'm finding the story line is very confusing to try and follow. As I'm only a third of the way through it, I'm really hopeful that the rest of the book will change my opinion. At this point, I don't think I'll be reviewing this one unfortunately.



Jenny B Jones is quickly becoming one of my new favorite authors, and although I'm not loving this one quite as much as I did There You'll Find Me, it's still a really enjoyable read, and one that I'm looking forward to hopefully finishing this weekend. I plan on reviewing this one once I finish it.

And lastly:



Neil and I have both had such crazy schedules lately, and we wanted to take the time to do something together in the evenings other than just watching TV or the like. We decided to try reading a few chapters of a book together every night that we have time to do so, and this was our book pick. So far, we're both really enjoying it, and if we end up loving it then we might decide to finish the rest of the series the same way. I haven't quite made up my mind if I'm going to be reviewing this one or not.


And that's my weekend reading plans. What book (or books) do you plan on diving into this weekend? Let me know in the comments, and have a great weekend guys!

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...
