The Sunday Salon (hosted by ReaderBuzz) is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week. It's a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 

What I Did:

I had another quiet week, the shift to fall has had my energy levels low so I mostly worked during the day and rested in the evenings. Treated myself to a trip to a local bookstore and Michaels on Thursday. Saturday, I went to a local "bookish" market. Sunday, I think I am just going to read and do some cleaning around the house.

What I Read:

Had a good reading week. I finished Night Watcher by Daphne Woolsoncroft (gave it 3.5 stars) and I finished an ARC of Spicy or Sweet by Sophie Snow (3 stars). I started and finished Must Love Moss & Moonshine by Maisy Magill (3 stars) and Out of Sight by Cleo White (3.5 stars). I started Chasing The Wild by Elliott Rose.

What I Checked Out From The Library:

Chasing The Wild by Elliott Rose, Grady Lake by J.L. Hyde. Mate by Ali Hazelwood.

Books I Bought:

After reading and loving The Knight and The Moth earlier this year, I have been meaning to read more Rachel Gillig and when I saw these special editions of her duology,  I knew I wanted to buy them. 

At the local bookish market, I got Your Secret To Keep and When The Snow Settles, both by Rachel Laberge.


Reading Goals Update:

Now that I have passed 165 books read, 2025 is official my best reading year ever. Wondering if I am going to be able to keep up this pace and hit 200 - my original goal for the year was just 140 and as of now, I am 8 books ahead of schedule for 200.

    A local bookish market sounds fun! You absolutely deserve a treat.

    I love those editions for One Dark Window and Two Twisted Crowns, and I hope you enjoy them! I have The Knight and the Moth on my TBR but haven't gotten around to it.

    I bought Mate in ebook, and I may end up buying a fancy edition of both Bride and Mate depending on how much I like Mate (LOVED Bride!).

Monday, I took my weekly trip to the library and because I didn't go last week, they had 6 holds waiting for me so that was kind of exciting. Tuesday, DnD  was cancelled so I worked on drafts of future blog posts. Wednesday, my job had their annual employee appreciation dinner and my gift for the year was a crockpot so that was exciting. Thursday, I went grocery shopping to prepare for a road trip that I am goin...

Top Ten Tuesday: Fall Covers

  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.

September 30: Book Covers that Give off Fall Vibes I just went with covers that had colors that I associate with fall which looks apparently is just the color orange lol

Tuesday, I drove home and spent 9 hours in the car, so it wasn't a very exciting day. Thursday, I took my weekly trip to the library, and they had a couple holds for me. Wednesday and Friday were just normal workdays. Saturday, I worked and then I took a trip to a local indie author featu...
