If you don't know this about me, I'm a HUGE fan of Sarah's and I will read anything she writes.

I loved this book!

Vacation Photos: Cape Cod Part 1

 

We just got back from almost a week on Cape Cod.

 I took so many pictures - here are some of them 

Made it to the beach

Rock standing straight up

Sunset the first night

I love the pink reflection in the puddle

The next day we took a ferry to Nantucket - here I am swinging 

Taking a quick reading break, it was hot out! I'm reading Sarah MacLean's Knockout, which was amazingly good.

We went on a cliff walk, which passed through a lot of property. It was fascinating. 

There is a kitty here

I could read here forever

Love the color of the windows

Cool driveway pattern

Love the flower boxes

The lighthouse

Much closer

Another charming gate

The way into the Secret Garden (er - cliff walk)

Of course, I had to stop at my favorite fudge shop

We went to Maria Mitchell's house. 

We couldn't go in the observatory - sadly. 

A cool looking grate 

A secret fountain

The famous street

Top Ten Tuesday: Santa Please Bring Me

 This week's topic is all about books we wish Santa would bring us. 

These are all books I can't wait to read next year from some of my favorite authors.

It's going to be a great reading year!!!

Are any of these on your reading list???

Bookstagram (12): Heartbreaker

I do love Sarah MacLean's books. The latest one is no different. 

Here are a few reasons I loved it:

 

Top Ten Tuesday Spin-off

 This week's topic was all about books from the past. I shared a TikTok video of my YA reads, here are my middle grade reads and my adult reads. 

Middle Grade Reads:

I read several Babymouse graphic novels, the Sleuth or Dare trilogy, the On the Run series, and was addicted to the Canterwood Crest series. (PS. if you were too, there's a spin-off series coming soonish)

Adult Books:

I read all the Bridgerton books, thanks to someone in the Sarah MacLean line at BEA, started by adoration of Jill Shalvis books, loved the Shana Galen series, and was still big into cozies.

It was super fun going down memory lane!

What books do you remember reading 10 years ago?

Top Ten Tuesday: Romance

 If you read this blog, you know I'm a HUGE romance fan. You can watch a video of my co-worker and I talking about romance books on our Book Recommendation video here.

Sometimes pictures share a better story, so here are the top ten adult romances I can't wait to read this year! Believe me, there are several more I'm excited to read....

Are you excited to read any of these too?

Book Lists: Duke Books

Yesterday, I reviewed the Duke Heist and I thought about all the duke books I enjoyed.

Fresh Fiction Reviews: (10)

 Another set of great books I've reviewed for Fresh Fiction:

"This YA romance hits all the right notes!"

"A Party to Remember and a holiday to celebrate"

"This Series Starts Off with a Bang!"

Top Ten Tuesday: Books on a Deserted Island

 This week's topic is books you'd want with you on a deserted island.

First I imagine the island looks a little something like this:

2nd, I don't really mind being on my own.

3rd - the first books I thought of were Sarah MacLean's books. If you haven't read them, I highly recommend them!

Maybe there would be no coconut drinks, but there would be lots of sand and water. And Sarah's books never fail to make me smile, laugh, and sigh with happiness.
