WWW Wednesday 6/7/23

Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme is hosted by Taking on a World of Words.

Happy Wednesday!

Hope your week is going well! I took the day yesterday trying to get settled in after our week camping. Today will just be a half day of work for me. My hubs is taking a half work day, and we’re going out to spend the afternoon on the lake to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Afterwards we’re going to go out to eat at a restaurant on the lake. We have a big trip planned for next month to celebrate in bigger fashion. We knew we’d have to space it out a bit from our church camp, which was loads of fun.

Stacking the Shelves – 6/3/23

Happy Saturday everyone! Have any fun plans for the weekend? I’m still out camping, so continue to bear with me. I’ll get back to blog hopping in a few days. 🙂

Stacking The Shelves is hosted at Reading Reality and is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

First Lines Fridays 6/2/23

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page.
  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet — you need to hook the reader first.
  • Finally… reveal the book!

Topplin’ TBR Thursday 6/1/23

Happy Thursday! And happy first day of June! It’s crazy to think about, but this is the last month of the first half of the year. Time is flying for me, my friends.

I love being able to draw attention to other book lovers out there that are encouraging me to pick up books, and that’s what this weekly meme will be all about. This is a thank you for adding to my toppling TBR pile. So, each week I’ll be sharing books that I added to my TBR along with the blogger, Bookstagrammer, BookTuber, etc. that convinced me to add it. They might not have even necessarily enjoyed it, but they shared it, and it grabbed my attention.

#IMWAYR ~ 5/29/23

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend. Friday I played volleyball with friends again and was excited to see that some friends from Guatemala arrived in town a little sooner than expected. Saturday we had our monthly Book Club/Game Night. Our book this month was In the Lives of Puppets. Yesterday I spent most of the afternoon in my hammock with my an audiobook. And then this morning we helped our oldest move. His year lease was up and he will graduate this year, so he’s just getting a shorter lease on an apartment for the remainder of his time at school.

#IMWAYR ~ 5/22/23

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend. I was pretty pleased with mine. Friday night I played volleyball. Saturday morning I worked, and then Saturday night I went to watch my hubs race. It was especially good for me to watch the middle child so excited to help him. I loved watching them work together.
