First Line Friday #45-Mulberry Hollow

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! Any plans for the weekend? I hope to rest/relax on Saturday and have a full day of church stuff on Sunday.

Welcome back to First Line Friday hosted by Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. 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 Mulberry Hollow by Denise Hunter.

Can't Wait Wednesday-A Promise Engraved

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 A Promise Engraved by Liz Tolsma. This is book 8 in the Doors to the Past series. Each book is a standalone novel that feature a dual-time period romantic suspense story set against a historic American landmark. It is set to be released May 1, 2022. I have loved each book that I have read in the series and can't wait to read this one as well!

Top Ten Tuesday-Books I think could be classics someday

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is 21st century books I think will become classics. This is an interesting topic and is going to require some brain power, LOL. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today. Today's great topic was submitted by Lisa of Hopewell.

I headed over to Goodreads to make this list. I started with my favorites and only picked books that had over 10,000 ratings, in some cases over 100,000 😲

Ten + 21st century books I think will/could become classics:

Love Does

Title: Love Does

Author: Bob Goff

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Religion, Spirituality

Source: Owned

My review:

Love Does is the first book I have read by Bob Goff. I look forward to reading more of his works.

Loving Lovina

Title: Loving Lovina

Series: The Infamous Amish Series #3

Author: Patricia Johns

Publisher: Kensington Books

Genre: Amish, Christian Fiction, Romance

Source: Net Galley

My review:

Loving Lovina is the third book in The Infamous Amish series. Ideally, reading the first two books before this one would be best. It can be read as a stand-alone novel but there is a lot of backstories.
