2022 Literary Escapes Challenge

 Hello fellow bookish friends! 

I hope you all are doing well. I am back with yet another post about a book challenge I will be doing in 2022. I think all told, counting Goodreads, I will be doing 7 (which is probably a bit much for a newbie, but THANKFULLY books can be used for more than one challenge, which will be my saving grace!).

Top 20 of 2021 Sign-up Post

I was blog hopping today and came across a sign-up post for one final challenge/meme of 2021 and I thought "why not?" Several of the topics are ones that I wanted to do anyway, so why not join a challenge to encourage/motivate me to get the posts done. Although, I can already tell you I am not sticking to my top 10 new to me authors that I read in 2021. I will be featuring them all 😂

First Line Friday #30-Behind Love's Wall

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 Behind Love's Wall by Carrie Fancett Pagels. This is one of the books in the Doors to the Past series. They do not have to be read in order. Their common theme is that they are all dual-time line romantic suspense novels that are set against an American Landmark.

Can't Wait Wednesday-The Buy-In

 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 The Buy-In from Emma St. Clair. It is a spin-off to her Love Cliche series, which if you have been following me for a while, you know I LOVED that series and was so sad it ended. I am SUPER excited for this book and am thrilled to be on the launch team!!
