Girls At The Bookstore

Can't-Wait Wednesday is hosted by Tressa at  Wishful Endings  and gives us a chance to highlight books we are patiently waiting to fill up our TBRs with. ANOTHER FINE MESS BY LINDY RYAN ( BLESS YOUR HEART #2 ) To be published April 15, 2025 Another Fine Mess is a horror novel that combines mystery, humor, and heart. It follows the Evans women, who have kept the undead from rising in their southeast Texas town for over a century. However, the dead sometimes rise too quickly. In Another Fine Mess, Lenore Evans, Luna, and the new sheriff must uncover what threatens everything they love. I am not a series reader, I am sure if you have been around here awhile, you know this, I have said it plenty BUT, you know, sometimes you need to make an exception, and that is what I am doing with Another Fine Mess. I can not tell you enough how much I absolutely loved Bless Your Heart by Ryan. I am Southern, well I am in Oklahoma and we consider ourselves Southern despite what sone people think...

It’s an opportunity to visit, comment, and… add to your groaning TBR pile! This meme by  Kathryn at   The Book Date This past week was Spring Break so I did not get much reading done, we spent a few days doing things with Atlas, one day taking a little road trip, and one day to the museum to take a printing class. Both were fun and relaxing, so worth the time. The rest of the time, we have spent catching up on things around the house. We are in remodel, so there is always something to do right now. WHAT I AM READING.... . Pretty much the same things I have been reading.....

 The Sunday Salon is hosted by  Readerbuzz It was Spring Break this week so we took two small road trips road trips with Atlas before he went to spend the rest of the week with his mom.  The first trip we made was mostly for me, but he got something he wanted to do out of it also! In the late 80s I was such a fan of Lane Frost. If you don't know who he was, he was a professional Bullrider who was around my age and he was from around Atoka Oklahoma. In 1989 he was killed while riding a bull in Cheyanne. If you have watched the movie 8 seconds with Luke Perry, you watched a movie about the life of Lane Frost.  Lane is buried on Hugo Oklahoma at the Mt Olivette Cemetery, it's not horribly far, about 2 hours, but I have just never gotten around to going and have always wanted to go.

Top Ten Tuesday  was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to  That Artsy Reader Girl  in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.  This week's subject is:   Books on My Spring 2025 to-Read List Listen, I will be honest, I am a mood reader. I do make TBR Lists for every season, etc, but I rarely manage to read everything, or sometimes anything off of them...But here is my list which isn't really a Spring list, but what I'd like to get read before I start on my Beach Read craze!
