    Top Ten Tuesday

    My Spring TBR list is trying to finish up a lot of the galleys I have for reviews. I’m a little bogged down right now in review books, but I’ve got a plan to get them read, reviewed, and published in the next month or so! The best (and worst)…

    Top Ten Tuesday

    What I love about participating in Top Ten Tuesday is looking at books in a different way. And then combining books that would probably never be on the same list together. This week, I’m sharing ten picture books featuring characters whose job I wish I had. I took this theme…

    Top Ten Tuesday

    I’ll be honest to say I cheated just a little bit on this list! I read a few of these titles in the past week or so. But, I wanted to get another chance to highlight some of the amazing debut authors that published books in 2020, so I decided,…

    Top Ten Tuesday: Resolutions for 2021

    Top Ten Tuesday

    So, I actually posted all about my 2021 goals/resolutions a couple of weeks ago! Like so many people, I was on the struggle bus in 2020. There were times I wasn’t sure if I could handle one more thing between work and my personal life. It felt like I was…
