First Line Friday #29-Lights Out

 Happy Friday! I am so thankful it is Friday, the last two weeks have been so long!! It is a dark dreary day and my mood reflects it. Anyone else struggle when the weather is dreary? I have lots of errands to run and some cleaning to do this weekend. What are your plans for the weekend? 

Welcome back to First Line Friday hosted by Meez Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!! To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and leave a comment with the first line (or your link).  This week I am reading Lights Out by Natalie Walters. It is the first book in her newest series The Snap Agency.

An Amish Quilting Bee

Publisher: Zondervan

Genre: Amish, Romance, Christian Fiction

My Review:

These trio of ladies are some of my "auto-read" authors. I love Amish stories and I always find these ladies' stories to be heart-warming. From the beautiful cover to the pages in-between, you get a cozy vibe, and want to curl up under a quilt, with a hot drink, and enjoy the stories.

Hullabaloo

My Review:

A couple of months ago, I was at a used bookstore, and I ran across this book for $1. I loved the title and decided to purchase it.

Freedom's Song

 Title: Freedom's Song

Author: Kim Vogel Sawyer

Publisher: Waterbrook Press

Genre: Historical Fiction, Christian Fiction, Romance

My Review:

 I enjoy Kim Vogel Sawyer's writing. While many people have "auto-buy" authors, I have "auto-read" authors. Ms. Sawyer is one of those authors. Whenever I see her name, I immediately want to read her books. I do not bother to see what the book is about, I just request it or put it on my TBR list.

Can't Wait Wednesday-Dreams of Gold

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing Dreams of Gold by Traci Hunter Abramson. It is the second book in the Dream's Edge series and comes out February 7, 2022. I have been waiting on this one every since I finished the first book, An Unlikely Pair. 

Top Ten Tuesday-Free Little Library

Happy Tuesday, friends! Today's theme is a freebie prompt so I am cheating a bit. I am doing a bookish project, if you will, and I want to tell my reader friends about it and thank those who helped trigger this idea. To find out what our other bookish friends are doing for Top Ten Tuesday check out That Artsy Reader Girl.

I am excited to tell you of a new bookish project I am working on...I am setting up a Free Little Library in my neighborhood (in my yard!) and I could NOT be more excited about it. I want it built like yesterday so I could already be stocking it with books...unfortunately, it is a process and it takes time and I need to be patient!
