Welcome to the twenty-fifth book review of fifty-three. As you know, I used to provide freelance book reviews to several review companies. It was a great experience that introduced me to new authors and their wonderful books. Each week this year, I’m opening my Weekend Coffee shares with a link to a review I’ve provided. Reviews are three stars or higher. The genres range from picture books to fiction and nonfiction titles.

If we were having coffee, I would share that I had a delightful time at my Kingston Indigo book event last Sunday. It is a lovely store. I had some wonderful book conversations with people.
If we were having coffee, I would share that Tuesday was the last book club meeting until the fall. Joining a book club is an item on my 60-before-60 bucket list. It’s been a wonderful activity. I’ve enjoyed that instead of members reading the same book, we read whatever calls to us based on the monthly theme. It’s great for learning about new books.
If we were having coffee, I would share that I opened a FREE Tarot reading post on one of my social media platforms. I’ve been busier than I expected, but loving it. Some lovely reading has come out of it. I also include distance Reiki in my sessions. So, I’m getting practice with a lot of my energy platforms. I plan to open that same offer on another platform once I finish this round of readings. So, if you are interested, watch for that post.
Well, friends, here is the coffee bean grinder. How was your week?
