Saturday, January 6, 2018


Oh the horrors of the back log...I don't even know how many books are on my TBR (to-be-read) List that haven't even shifted from the bookshelf...And not to mention the NetGalley books I requested this year. (Faithfully Bookish and Reading is my Superpower have rubbed off on me....)

A couple days ago I shared my Top Reads of 2017...Today I am sharing with you a list of books that I am determined to read at some point this year...because they have been on my list fro WAY too long and I want to! Haha! I got the idea from All the Book Blog Names Are Taken....You can check out her list HERE.

You can find my full list of books to read in 2018 HERE (this will include new releases).

















First Line Friday - A Song Unheard

Thursday, January 4, 2018


Winter is here! And here to stay...At least where I come from. I am looking forward to curling up with a good read and enjoying the snow...from inside my warm house, wrapped in a fuzzy WARM blanket...Drinking hot cider. I LOVE winter, but I do NOT like being cold. I am looking forward to reading this particular book over the upcoming weekend. What is on your TBR this winter?

Today’s first line is from...

A Song Unheard
by Roseanna M. White




London, England
September 28, 1914

The music seeped into her soul like fog over the Thames.
I don't know about you, but I ADORE music! And this line makes me want to close my eyes and drink in the melodious sound drifting around her...*sigh*

Comment below with your first line and head over to Hoarding Books to link up with your own FLF post!


Book Spotlight - You're Gonna Love Me - Robin Lee Hatcher

About the Book
Who knew fate could twist a tragedy into a second chance at love?

Samantha Winters lives her life the way a good accountant should—measured, deliberate, and safe. After watching her father die in a tragic skiing accident, she decided never to allow risk into her life again. But she didn’t count on falling for Nick Chastain, who embodies everything she doesn’t want in her safely constructed world.

Against Samantha’s warnings, Nick plans a dangerous kayaking trip over spring break. Furious that he’s so careless with his life, she ends their fledgling relationship with harsh words.

Two years later, Samantha is desperately in need of a change. When she learns her grandmother has had an accident and is in need of a caretaker, Samantha quickly packs her bags and heads to Thunder Creek, Idaho. But nothing could prepare her for the surprise awaiting her in her grandmother’s hospital room . . . Nick.

With the charming backdrop of small-town friends, beloved cousins, and a whole church congregation rooting for them, can they set aside the disastrous ending of their first try at love? Has Nick changed enough to meet Samantha in the middle—and can she realize that a risk in love might be worth taking?

I received a complimentary copy of You're Gonna Love Me from the publishers. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
