Current Library Haul

Happy Friday Guys!

I hope all of you that were able to take advantage of Easter break and get away had amazing vacations!

I was unfortunately working right through it, but oh well I did have quite a bit of time to spend with my books during this past week.

It's been a few months since I last did a book haul, thanks to the fact that I'm still on a book buying ban, and thus, have not had any books to haul. I'm still missing sharing books hauls on my blog though, so I thought today it would be fun to do a library haul, since it's also been quite awhile since I last shared one of those.

Here's the books I currently have checked out from our local library:

1) The Captain's Christmas Family by Deborah Hale:


I'd had this Love Inspired Historical series on my TBR list for quite sometime, and my friend read it around Christmas time and highly recommended it. With the fact that the recent budget cuts to our library have made it harder to request books to order from other regions, I finally decided to give this one a go, since our local library had it in their catalog.

So far I'm really enjoying it, and I love the humorous moments that the two young girls bring to the table.


2) Just To Be With You by Bella Andre:



I previously really enjoyed most of Bella's books in the San Francisco Sullivans series. However, so far I really can't say I feel the same way about the Seattle Sullivans series, and this one has definitely not helped to change my mind. I find it so far to be a tad over the top, and both characters to be slightly obnoxious. I'm also a little tired of reading about wealthy people hooking up with other wealthy people. I much preferred some of her earlier Sullivan novels like Megan and Gabe's story. I'll definitely still be finishing this one, but I'm not sure if I'll continue on with this series after that or not.

3) Rescue Me by Susan May Warren:

 I had the pleasure of getting to read and review the first book in this series thanks to the publisher and Netgalley, and you can see my review here

Ever since then, I've been anxiously anticipating the release of the second book, as while there were plot developments I wasn't a fan of in the first book, I do hope the second book will finally answer some questions regarding the mystery introduced in the novella and first book.

4) Peter and the Sword of Mercy by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson:

The last book I currently have checked out is the fourth installment in the Peter and the Starcatchers middle grade series. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what antics Peter's going to get up to with his new group of lost boys, and I'm thinking this is the book I'll probably be reading the most from this weekend.



That's my current library haul guys! I'm hoping to have a nice, quiet weekend at home with my books. And other than working my usual shift tomorrow, I really hope it stays that way. :)


Thanks so much for reading, have a great weekend, and I'll see you all again on Monday.

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 Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...

I'm excited to be taking part in another edition of First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books , but I'm also excited to be featuring one of my favorite author's new releases for this week's edition. First Line Friday simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading, and today I'm going to be sharing from Mandi Blake's new book, which released last week. Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake: About the Book: They have unfinished business. She just can’t remember what it is. Camille Vanderbilt is headed back home to Wyoming with one goal: find her old best friend and give him a piece of her mind for ghosting her six years ago. She won’t let anyone stand in her way… until a deer runs into the road and causes her to wreck and forget almost everything. Noah Harding lives a simple life as a firefighter and rancher until Camille cras...
