Waiting on Wednesday: Every Time You Go Away

Tuesday, May 30, 2023



Hi All,

Stopping by to let you know about a book I am waiting on.

Author: Abigail Johnson 
 
Summary from Goodreads:
Perfect for fans of Jennifer Niven, Abigail Johnson draws a searing and lyrical portrait of grief, forgiveness, and the kind of love that blooms in the aftermath.


Eight years ago,Ethan and Rebecca met, two trouble-making kids sharing secrets and first kisses in a treehouse, until Ethan’s mom returned to take him away. Each and every visit, his only goodbye was a flower on Rebecca’s windowsill.

Three years ago , Ethan left for the last time to take care of his mother, who’s had a substance use disorder his whole life.

Two years ago, Rebecca was in a car accident that killed her father. She’s been learning to navigate life as a wheelchair user ever since.

Now, they discover if their hardships have torn them apart…or will bring them closer than ever.
 

Happy Reading!

Waiting on Wednesday: Not that Fancy

Tuesday, May 23, 2023



Hi All,

Stopping by to let you know about a book that I am waiting on.

Author: Reba McEntire 
 
Summary from Goodreads:
The best things in life are really not that fancy. This photo-driven book featuring all-things-Reba invites you to get back to the basics of fun, food, friends, and family. In her first book in over two decades, actress and country music legend Reba McEntire takes you behind the scenes and shares the stories, recipes, and Oklahoma-style truths that guide her life.   FROM "To me, there's nothing better than sitting on the back porch looking out at the land that goes on for miles. A beautiful sunset and then me, just sipping on a glass of iced tea (or whiskey and Sprite) with my friends and family. I don't know what heaven's going to look like, but I hope it feels like Oklahoma. Throw in some beans and cornbread, and I'm all set. "Okies know that the secret to a good life is to keep things simple and be thankful for what the good Lord's given you. That's what I want to get back to. Simple fun, hard work, good food, and laughing with those you love. Everything I'm doing in my life from here on out—personal or professional, doesn't matter—I'm going to have fun. "That’s what I'm sharing in this book—some simple, not-that-fancy truths I live by and a bunch of good stories, photos, and recipes that go along with them. So if you're looking to slow down, get back to basics, and have a heckuva lot of fun, I think we're going to have a good time together in these pages. Come on in, kick off your boots (or leave them on, I don’t care), and learn how to bring a little bit of my downhome-inspired life into your own."   FROM THE Not That Fancy    Not That Fancy  is the perfect deluxe gift for Christmas, birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and special occasions. This keepsake book is ideal for Reba fans, country music lovers, or anyone who enjoys an easygoing Western lifestyle.

TTT: Things Getting in the Way of Reading (what’s taking up your time right now?)

Monday, May 15, 2023




Hi All,

Happy Tuesday! It has been awhile since I have done a Top Ten Tuesday post. This week's theme is: 
Things Getting in the Way of Reading (what’s taking up your time right now?)

To respond:

1) Work. It can be all-consuming.
2) TV and Movies. This is a not a bad thing :)
3) Social Media. I enjoyed the break and lots of cat pictures/videos.
4) Podcasts. Who can resist?
5) Daydreaming. I spend a lot of time with my head in the clouds. 
6-10) I am sure lots of random things here and there. 

Happy Reading!
