The Rapid Fire Book Tag

Today is a busy day in my home. My kids return to school next week, and well that means a lot of stuff needs to get accomplished today. Between meeting the teachers, picking up chrome books, and having a quick IEP meeting, it's going to be a day. Thankfully my husband is still home (thanks pandemic), so he can keep the preschooler with him while I manage school stuff with our two elementary kids. Then he is also going to handle the pick up of materials for our middle schooler. Four kids + 3 schools = busy.

So I figured that on this busy (slightly chaotic) day a book tag would be perfect. Plus it allows you all to know me a bit better. Thanks to a Pinterest search, I discovered the Rapid Fire book tag. Over on the blog This Splendid Shambles, I learned the GirlReading was the originator of this tag.

Reading Memories: The Beginning

Back in 1982, my paternal Grandpa gifted me a collection of pop-up books. I was all of 4 years old, and I loved flipping through the pages, and getting my hands on the pop-ups. 

I know, I'm old, and so are the books I'm talking about. 🤣 

Now, I honestly do not remember all the titles, or what the covers looked like, but I do remember they were fairy tales, the spine of the book was along the long edge, and the book opened upward rather than to the side. 

Oh how I wish I still owned them. After all those books are my first book related memory. Plus it brings back the few memories I have of my Grandpa.

Amazon First Reads: What I Selected

Did you know that if you're an Amazon Prime member, that you can select a free Kindle book each month?

It's true, you can! It's a nice little perk that is part of your membership. I've known about it for about a year now, and I'm so glad I heard about it! I've discovered some books that I otherwise wouldn't have.

If you're interested, head over to Amazon First Reads* and make your selection!
 

Books I read in August

Wasn't it just August 1st? How are we in September already? This is not making sense. Especially since other months felt like they went on FOREVER. (I'm looking at you March and April) 

Curious what I read in August? I'll let you know now it was all romance, and I read a lot of new-to-me authors. It was splendid. Keep reading to find out about the books I read.

Kiss My Cupcake {a review}

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

On August 11th Helena Hunting released her latest novel, Kiss My Cupcake. She has been sharing about this book (in her Facebook group) for a while now, and the snippets I've read definitely caught my attention. After all, I do love a good rom-com! Add in the enemies to lovers trope, and just hand it over. I will give the book (or movie) my full attention.
