Happy New Year 2025

 

Just taking a moment to say thank you to anyone who read my blog, posted a comment, or suggestion, or got new inspiration for new books from it. 

My blog turns 3 today and I still love reading, reviewing, and posting each week. I also love that I am promoting authors new and old in some small way. I am in awe of those who write books and all the hard work that goes into it.

The book blog community is so wonderful and I can't think of a better hobby for me to be a part of.

I hope you all have a blessed day and wonderful 2025. See you soon with new reviews and content and Happy Reading!!!

Top Ten Tuesday: Best Books I Read in 2024

 

Happy New Year's Eve 2024....what better way to end the year than with a Top Ten list. Thank you to Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl for hosting. These are the best books I read in 2024. I am realizing how much I read books by certain, trusted authors and that are often a part of a series. I'd like to read new authors but have a hard time deciding where to start. 

It was interesting to go back and see that I spent the year with a lot more mysteries than I ever realized! 

What were your favorites? I hope you find many more ahead in 2025. 

1. When Christ and His Saints Slept by Sharon Penman 

2. The King's Commoner by David Field

3. Traitor's Arrow by David Field

4. Dark Clouds Over Nuala by Harriet Steel

5. The Virgin in the Ice by Ellis Peters

6. Covert in Cairo by Kelly Oliver

7. Secret of the Scarab by Isabella Bassett

8.The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie

9.Elephants Can Remember by Agatha Christie

10.The Crusades by Hourly History (review coming soon)

Happy New Year 2024!

 

My blog is two years old today. I am excited that it is still going and that I still am excited enough to want to post each week. The book blog community has been so warm and supportive and I feel like I have gained wonderful, new online friends. My love of books has only grown even more and I have discovered amazing new authors and blogs to explore. 

I have a habit of wanting to change up my looks and colors and style on my blog every six months or so, but no time or desire to redo every previous post to match. So if things look a bit different starting today, well, it's just me trying something new and fun. 

I hope everyone has success in this new year and finds lots of great books to read. I plan on detailing my goals for my blog in the Top Ten Tuesday post for January 16 "Bookish Goals for 2024." For now, I will just say Happy New Year.....may all your dreams come true and may you be as blessed as I feel today :)
