Good Monday all,

Can’t believe we’re now in April! Baby is coming this month and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by the idea, but excited to meet him. I’ve been doing well and I’m planning to use these last couple weeks to relax as much as possible, mostly reading and knitting.

Another fantasy mailbox, all sequels this week. I’ve read both novellas of J. Bree’s The Mortal Fates series and really enjoyed them. They were my treadmill read but the novel is like 600 pages, so I might have to make more time to read it off treadmill quite soon!

Good Monday everyone,

Hope your week was great!

I have been doing better after last week, my doctor upped my insuline and I think things are slowly getting under control. I also had a good reading week and managed to put together a tentative list for my Spring TBR.

I thought there would be no mailbox this week but two preorders ended up showing early – two weeks early in the case of Court of Wanderers! I’d really enjoyed the first book so I didn’t wait and immediately started reading it. Enjoying it so far!

Top Ten Tuesday – Books on My Spring 2024 TBR

Posted by on March 19, 2024 11:56 am in Book talk | 5 comments

Join Top Ten Tuesday at That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week  a new Top Ten list theme is posted and all bloggers are welcome to participate!

I read 7 of my 12 Winter TBR books, which isn’t so bad. I was close to reading 8, but my library copy for one of them only came in this week – so I’ll still be reading it, just a little late.

I have no idea what spring will be like with baby coming in approximately a month, so it’s a very tentative list in a couple of my favorite genres, fantasy and romance (some of them both). I’m trying to knock some of the longer ones off my TBR before baby, but who knows how that will go!

Good Monday all,

Hope you had a great week!

I have been doing well mostly, though struggling a bit with gestational diabetes. Luckily I have a great team of doctors and specialists looking out for me so that takes away some of the stress. We are getting close to the end, which is both exciting and terrifying! Looking forward to finally meeting our little boy though 🙂

I have an interesting mailbox this week! Received the Mead Mishaps series as a gift and I’m thinking they’ll be fun reads later this year when I have less time and energy for reading. I borrowed The Lord of Stariel on KU but I’m not sure I’ll have the time to read it before my subscription expires, so I might switch to the audiobook later.
