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:

Monday, I went to a local evening silent book club - I wanna thank everyone who previously mentioned using an e-reader at this silent book club because the place has low lighting, made things much better for me and my eyeballs. Wednesday, I took my weekly trip to the library. Saturday and Sunday, I am going to read and rest as one last quiet weekend before the  holidays begin with Thanksgiving next week.

What I Read:

Big reading week for me. I finished a reread of Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid because I am very excited about the TV adaptation that is coming out in a couple of weeks - it has been announced that it is being brought to the US through HBO Max so that is super exciting. I finished an ARC of Dreaming of a Cowboy Christmas by Ann Einerson (3.5 Stars). I also finished Mate by Ali Hazelwood (4 Stars) - I actually liked this one more than Bride, Chilled and Thrilled by Cleo White (3 Stars), an ARC of Longing for the Minotaur by Lyonne Riley (3 Stars), Ghosts of Grady by JL Hyde (3 Stars) and Angelica and The Bear Prince by Trung Le Nguyen (3.5 Stars).

What I Checked Out From The Library:

I checked out even more Holiday reads from the library. I probably now have WAY more books that I will need for The 13th Annual Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon - a holiday readathon hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer but I like having options.

  • Angelica and The Bear Prince by Trung Le Nguyen.
  • Good Spirits by B.K. Borison
  • He Sees You When You're Sleeping by Alta Hensley.

Books I Bought:

None.

    I got carried away by borrowing holiday reads for the Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon, too, but I think it's okay. It's always better to have too many books rather than too few.

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Thrillers

Image
  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. October 28th: Halloween Freebie = Favorite Thrillers Fall / Halloween time is the one time of the year that I shift my focus to thrillers and mystery reads. Today, I made a list of my top ten thrillers. Did you enjoy any of these? Let me know in the comments.

Monday, I went to a local evening Silent Book Club - not sure if I will be attending this one again. I like that it's in the evening because I am a night person but the coffee lounge that it is held at just wasn't bright enough for me and I felt like I was straining my eyes in the low light. Tuesday, I took my weekly trip to my local library. Wednesday, I went to an escape room and had dinner with...
