Happy Monday everyone!

Today, there is 24 more days until the end of the school year for me! I spent most of my free time today creating social media content for my photography business since summer is when I usually hit photography hard! I am trying to book at least ten senior sessions this year, so I am trying to really focus on marketing in the next month!

For Goodreads Monday, I decided that I will start randomly generating the number of the book I choose. All of the books I choose are found under my to-be-read shelf on Goodreads. This week, I landed on Done and Dusted by Lyla Sage.

Goodreads Monday allows you to post about what books are on your “to read” lists, the progress you have made on your current books and reading challenge, and any other Goodreads news! To participate, choose a random book from your TBR and show it off. It is hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog.

She's off-limits, but he's never been good at following the rules.

For the first time in her life, Clementine "Emmy" Ryder has no idea what she's doing. She's done everything on her to-do list. She left her small hometown, went to college, and made a name for herself doing her favorite thing: riding horses. But when an injury results in an obstacle she can't overcome, Emmy leaves behind a career, an apartment, and a boyfriend for the hometown she spent her whole life trying to escape.

Luke Brooks is Meadowlark's most notorious bad boy, bar owner, and bachelor. He's also the unofficial fifth member of the Ryder family, who spent his entire childhood antagonizing Emmy, the youngest Ryder sibling.

It's been years since he's seen his best friend's little sister, but when she walks into his bar and back into his life, he can't take his eyes off her.

Brooks takes it upon himself to get to the bottom of why Emmy returned to Meadowlark and what happened to put out the perpetual fire in her eyes. But first, he needs Emmy to take him up on his offer to be friends. An offer that has nothing to do with the fact that he can't stop thinking about her.

At least, that's what he tells himself.

As things between Emmy and Brooks heat up, it's getting more difficult for him to keep his hands off of her. Can he help her get her spark back? Or will they both go up in flames?

Last year, I read my first Cowboy Romance, and I had such a great time! Ever since then, I have seen this book everywhere. This post actually inspired me to request the audiobook through Libby (a true Goodreads Monday success)! Sadly, it is about a 26 week wait until it will become available for me 😰

Currently Reading

I am currently in the middle of two e-ARCs from Netgalley: Savor It and If You Knew My Name. I have been reading If You Knew My Name at school during independent reading time! I also started The Great Gatsby this week with my high school Juniors. It’s time for my yearly re-read!
