Top Ten Tuesday-Cover Love

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas weekend! I did. I am now at my sister's house in TN, so not a lot of time to do a post. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is your favorite reads of 2021 and since I don't have a lot of time today, I will do that topic on Thursday. You can see all the details at That Artsy Reader Girl. Since I am also  participating in the Top 10 of 2021 hosted by Kimberly Faye Reads, I will do today's topic, which is cover love. The topic for Thursday is top reads of 2021, which is why I will do that one then 😀 You can see all the details at That Artsy Reader Girl. However, before I get into today's post I would love to take a minute to thank The Story Enthusiast and Ashley@therusticreadinggal for being Santa and sending me a book 😀 I was beyond thrilled to receive them!

My Review:

I have not read Ginny Baird before but will be reading her again! I absolutely adored this story with all the Christmas feels. I read quite a few Christmas stories this year and this one is one of my top favorites.

Christmas Challenge update

I decided to join the #20booksforChristmas challenge. This was my first year joining in all the fun 😀 This challenge was hosted by Tea & Cake for the Soul.

2021 New-to-me Authors

Today I am participating in the Top 10 of 2021 hosted by Kimberly Faye Reads. Today's topic is new or new-to-me authors. Well, hang on to your hats because this is going to be a long list. I made it a point to try new authors this year and I can guarantee you that I have NEVER read so many new-to-me authors in a year. I was trying to do the 2021 challenge by Cara Novack Lynch that had 75 topics, which helped to increase my new-to-me authors. Plus, I follow the Avid Readers of Christian Fiction Facebook group and they ALWAYS have great recommendations. I honestly had no idea there were SO many Christian authors that write in a wide variety of genres before joining this group. Of course, once I started this book blog I was introduced to even more authors (thank you!!).

Books I Wish I had read this year

 MERRY CHRISTMAS

Today I am participating in the Top 10 of 2021 hosted by Kimberly Faye Reads. Today's topic is books I wish I had made time to read in 2021. While I did read a ton of books this year (246 so far) there were still quite a few that I wish I had gotten around to. All of these I either checked out of the library and didn't actually get to them or I heard so much about them that I kept saying I was going to read them!

First Line Friday #31-On Christmas Avenue

Merry Christmas Eve 

I hope you all have the most wonderful holiday season and Santa is good to you 😀! 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 On Christmas Avenue by Ginny Baird. I am currently in chapter 8 and really enjoying this book. I love Mary and her Christmas cheer, and just realized as I am tying this how appropriate her name is 😂
