Welcome to another TTT! My Internet is back! It came back in the early morning hours of last Tuesday, but by then I’d moved on. lol. As we near the end of summer (August is pre-fall to me and I am so excited for Fall!), I thought it’d be fun to get one last summery topic in just like people go on one last trip before school starts back up. So this week’s topic is Beach/Beachy Reads. Share books you’d take to the beach or books that take place at the beach. I kind of combined the two options and am going with books that have beachy covers, give off beachy vibes, or have “beach” in the title.

Still Got It by Claire Carver
That Time I Kissed my Beachfront Boss by Julie Christianson
Beauty and the Beach by Gracie Ruth Mitchell
Christmas at Bella Beach by Kate Wentworth
A Line in the Sand by Teri Wilson
Beachy Keen by Kasey Stockton
Summer at the Highland Coral Beach by Kiley Dunbar
The Summer Swap by Sarah Morgan
Beach Please by Melanie Summers
The Summer House by Jenny Hale

Did you get to the beach this summer?
Any last trips planned before the weather starts changing?
Have you read any of these books?

Welcome to another TTT! Today’s topic is: Books Set in/Take Place During X. Pick a place, time, era, etc. and build your list! Some examples include: Books set in Europe/Italy/Australia/Chicago, books set in Regency England, books that take place during the 1900s, books set in imaginary worlds/post-apocalyptic/dystopian worlds, books set on the ocean, books set it castles, books that take place during WW2, etc.

It’s been storming this evening, and right when I sat down to write up my post for this week’s topic, the Internet in my area went down and it’s not expected to be fixed until well after this post is supposed to go live. I’m currently writing this on my iPhone with very limited resources (wow WordPress mobile is hard to use.) and will not be writing up my list this week. I’ll be back next week with another list!

Welcome to another TTT! Today’s topic is a fun one, submitted by Joanne @ Portobello Book Blog: Books with Honorifics in the title. “…an honorific is a form of address conveying esteem, courtesy or respect. These can be titles prefixing a person’s name, e.g.: Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms., Mx., Sir, Dame, Dr., Cllr, Lady, or Lord, or other titles or positions that can appear as a form of address without the person’s name, as in Mr. President, General, Captain, Father, Doctor, or Earl.” For more info, click here. I have a lot of fun with topics like these because it feels like a scavenger hunt. It’s also a fun way to see what books I own, because there are a LOT. I decided to challenge myself further by not repeating any honorifics, and I actually found two new books to add to my TBR in the process of hunting!

Here are some fun facts about my Goodreads! I have shelved 33 books with “Mr.” in the title, 5 books with “Mrs.” in the title, and 16 books with “Miss” in the title. Who knew?

Welcome to another TTT! This week’s topic was submitted through the topic request form by Becky @ Becky’s Book Blog and is Books I’d Like to Re-read! I’ve done this topic before so I added the “soon”, which means that I’m actually hoping to prioritize re-reading these books now. I’m in a book slump and I’m hoping that re-reading some favorites will help get me back in the groove! So here we go!

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (all three books, actually)
The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn
Enemies Abroad by R.S. Grey
The Christmas Dress by Courtney Cole
Call Me Maybe by Cara Bastone
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss
Cold-Hearted Rake by Lisa Kleypas (the entire Ravenels series)
You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle
Desert Island Duke by Kate Bateman

What book have you been itching to re-read?

Are you a re-reader? I never used to be because I felt like I didn’t have time to re-read books when my TBR is a millennium long but I’ve come around to it because I’ve discovered the comfort reads exist and make me happy!

Welcome to another TTT! Yes, you’re in the right place. lol. Do not be confused by the festive nature of my post! Today’s topic is a freebie or throwback topic, which means you get to either come up with your own topic or browse the list of previous topics and pick one that speaks to you! I decided to go with a freebie because I’ve got Christmas on the brain right now! I love the concept of Christmas in July. You know me, I love Christmas a lot. But as much as I love it, I’ve always been one to pretty much keep Christmas in November and December so as to keep it special. This month, even though I’m loving summer, I’ve got a hankering to celebrate Christmas a little! I’m having a bit of a hard time and want some festive cheer. And really, I never get as much reading done during the holidays as I’d like, so what better time to catch up on some of those titles I miss year after year? Today I’m sharing some Christmas books I keep not having time for, plus a couple coming out this year that I’d like to get a jump on!

My Favorite Holidate by Lauren Blakely
The Christmas Express by Isla Gordon
Highland Hearts Holiday Bookshop by Tricia O’Malley
The Christmas Book Hunt by Jenny Colgan
Christmas with the Queen by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb

Do you read Christmas books all year, or do you save them for the holidays?
What topic did you pick for this week’s freebie/throwback?

Have a happy 4th of July this week to all my friends here in the USA!
