TBR 2026

101. 'Tis the Season to Be Daring (All Hearts Come Home for Christmas anthology) by Esther Hatch Regency romance. I'm not usually a first person point of view fan, but it worked with this story. Sweet story with moments where I laughed out loud. A keeper. 

102. The Christmas Dress (All Hearts Come Home for Christmas anthology) by Joanna Barker Regency romance. A good story.

103. The Heart of a Vicar (Jonquil Brothers series Book 6) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. What a heartwarming story. I didn't expect to like Holy Harry, but then I read his story. Another keeper.

104. The Best Laid Plans (Huntress series Book 0.5) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. Delightful story of learning to be bold enough to be one's self and finding someone who accepts the real you.

105. Charming Artemis (Jonquil Brothers series Book 6/Lancaster Family Book 5) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. So many things tied up. A wonderful end to the two series. Love it.

REAL 19 Oct 2026

Sleeping hasn't been great. Walking not so much. Some bad eating days and some good days. I keep forgetting to do PT, but trying. I'm trying to enjoy the little moments, like watching the sunrise in glorious colors of pink, peach, and yellow.

Them: "But it made you stronger." 

Me: "No. Jesus did."

The pain didn't make me stronger,

it brought me to my knees.

And there, Jesus met me,

held what was broken,

and rebuilt me piece by piece,

grace by grace.

I didn't survive because

I was strong. I survived because

He never let me go

96. A Fine Gentleman (Jonquil Brothers series Book 4) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. A delightfully wild ride. So enjoyable watching characters grow from arrogant and self-centered to humble focus on the other.

97. For Love or Honor (Jonquil Brothers series Book 5) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. Heart wrenching, powerful, inspiring. Keeper, along with all the others.

98. Loving Lieutenant Lancaster (Lancaster Family series Book 4) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. Chronologically, this is where this story fits. I enjoyed reading it again.

99. Christmas at Flagstone Castle (Lancaster Family - All Hearts Come Home for Christmas anthology) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. A sweet novella that fits between Book 4 and 5 of the Lancaster families. It's found as a stand alone but also available in the above anthology.

100. The Heart of Christmas (All Hearts Come Home for Christmas anthology) by Anita Stansfield Regency romance. A sweet story of mending broken hearts.

Reminder

It's okay to not be okay, even at the holidays.
